Dubai Fitness Challenge

ISC Dubai is actively participating in the Dubai Fitness Challenge that was launched by

Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and

Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai Government and Dubai Sports Council.

Now as we experience the cooler winter weather, the Dubai Fitness Challenge is a

wonderful initiative to get all residents of Dubai moving, through an array of physical

exercises that are taking place for free across the emirate. The concept is to exercise

for just 30 minutes for 30 days from 20th October until 18th November 2017.

Participants are encouraged to download the interactive App that logs your activities

and announces the many free events taking place around the city on a daily basis. At

ISC Dubai we always stress to parents and students the importance of physical

exercise, as it compliments a healthy mind and body, as well as a positive approach

toward studies. When we exercise, our body releases happy endorphins that can

immediately take your day from feeling down and pessimistic to positivity and a glow

of happiness. Why Should You Get Involved?: 1. Exercise releases a chemical in the

brain called Dopamine that contributes to increased levels of happiness. 2. Sweat to

relieve stress. 3. Forget coffee or energy drinks. Working out is a natural energiser. 4.

Increase your confidence – when you look good, you feel good. 5. Relieves any

lingering and unwanted anxiety. 6. Guarantees a good night’s sleep that is the key to

feeling good both mentally and physically!
