After completing a successful month-long Dubai Fitness Challenge 30X30, the Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum urged the residents of Dubai to make it the fittest city in the world.
The sixth year of this initiative, launched by the Crown Prince, completed a milestone when 193,000 runners took part in the recently concluded Dubai Run, according to a Gulf News report.
“Congratulations to all fitness enthusiasts in Dubai for committing, once again, to the cause of fitness and health,” said Sheikh Hamdan. “For many, taking part in the Dubai Fitness Challenge has meant more than committing to 30 minutes of physical activity for 30 days. It has been a life-changing resolution to transform their well-being. This year’s challenge embodied truly our vision to inspire the community of citizens and residents of the emirate to make fitness their top priority.”
The Dubai Fitness Challenge has a simple goal: complete 30 minutes of physical activity every day for 30 days. Follow a month-long calendar of free workouts, exciting fitness events, and wellness-focused entertainment. The initiative partnered with health technology apps such as Fitbit, Fitze, Steppi, Count’d, Les Mills and more to encourage Dubai residents to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
