When it comes to fitness, the saying 'strength in numbers' is true and that will be demonstrated across Dubai in the next 30 days. The city launched the third edition of the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) on Friday with wide range of activities across the city that will be accessible to the entire Dubai community. All it requires is a 30-minute commitment of physical activity for 30 days.
The DFC saw friends, family and colleagues bond, spend quality time and pledge to stay fit and positive as they participate in the challenge, launched and championed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, that will run until November 16.

From enjoying the sun, sand and fitness fun along the Kites Beach that is being converted into a dedicated fitness village with different fun zones for free outdoor activities to pushing your limits with multi-skill activities happening at the Festival City Mall, where the outdoor festival promenade is transformed into a large workout space with sessions with professional fitness trainers, the DFC is offering something or the other to get you moving.
All residents and visitors can pledge to join the challenge by registering on the Dubai Fitness App or the DFC website.
