Inspired by 30x30, fitness lover wants it to be year-round

Dubai - Breeza, who has been in Dubai for the past seven years, said fitness could be of any shape, at anytime and anywhere.

Breeza Butiong wants the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) to continue for the entire year.
"I have really been inspired by this challenge," said the Dubai-based 29-year-old healthcare marketer.
"I work six days a week and spend my weekends at church, with mates or doing some event management, but in between I squeeze in time for exercise because I like moving," she said.
Breeza, who has been in Dubai for the past seven years, said fitness could be of any shape, at anytime and anywhere.
"Maybe one day I will create a hashtag #MoveMore, pushing for 30 minutes of exercise a day every day," she said. She added that exercising and staying fit is a continuous effort. "You have got to love what you do."
Though not a sportsperson, Breeza said the challenge had inspired her to stay committed to a healthy lifestyle.
"I like to eat health and prefer organic food... Weekly, I do yoga, Zumba or dancing - anything that will make me move more."
For her, clocking up 30 minutes of physical activity daily is not the only goal. Taking the DFC as a chance to motivate her colleagues to get active, she created a fitness challenge for more than 200 employees at her workplace.
"We have free, hour-long yoga and Zumba activities for all the employees who are free in the evening," she said.
