Because of how close the UAE is to the earth’s equator, Dubai’s beach season actually ends up being in the winter rather than the summer. Tis the season to get fit and healthy. Here are four pieces to inspire you to get to the gym and look good while working it.
1. Keep it simple and streamlined in the bottom
I don’t like to fuss too much with workout bottoms. Black with some detailing is always my go-to. This gives me the chance to play around with colour on the top, or with my sneakers. These Underarmour workout leggings will go great with a brighter top or shoe.

2. A printed tee
This print has been everywhere this past year and it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere. I, personally, am obsessed with a tropical print and will wear it deep into autumn and winter. The Adidas Original Farm T-Shirt in pink and green with black and white accents on the edges will go well with simple bottoms.

3. Sneakers that can last
The one thing that you shouldn’t compromise on in the gym is a quality pair of sneakers that can withstand pressure and movement. The Nike Air Zoom Mariah Flyknit Racer is an ‘80s design that has made a triumphant return. They are lightweight, responsive and incredibly comfortable. The colours are very cool too.

4. A classic watch
If you’re over digital watches like I am, go for a more classic piece with a bit of a sporty feel. This trendy, outdoor watch is great for the gym, an outdoor run and it’s versatile enough to go beyond that too. This watch is ideal for an outdoorsy person, since it’s an eco-drive piece, which means that it recharges by any light source. There’s no need to change the battery.
