DUBAI FITNESS CHALLENGE - GET SET, GO!: Thirty minutes of activity for the next 30 days. The fifth edition of Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) got off amid a lot of fanfare and enthusiasm on Thursday, October 29. With Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council – the brain behind the 30x30 challenge – himself inviting people to participate in DFC, the mood has been set just right for the next 30 days for all Dubai residents and visitors to lace up their running or training shoes and put their best foot forward – literally! The best part about this 30x30 challenge is that in all likelihood, those participating in this annual event will not like to restrict themselves to just 30 days of fitness activities, but stretch it well beyond the duration of the challenge. And that’s the whole idea behind the exercise. So -- get set, go! [COMMENT BY: Sanjib Kumar Das, Assistant Editor]
