AL FRESCO EXERCISE:                                                

EMBRACE THE LAST WEEK OF DUBAI FITNESS CHALLENGE AND FEEL THE BENEFITS OF AN OUTDOOR WORKOUT

We know it feels good, but did you know there are scientific benefits to working out in the open air?

United Arab Emirates, Dubai, 23 November 2023: Improved mood, a boost of vitamin D, lower blood pressure and better sleep are just some of the benefits you can look forward to after exercising outdoors. Fresh air and natural light work will add some extra magic to your workout, and with plenty on offer outside this Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), it’s time to step into the sunshine.

Sunshine boosts vitamin D and feel-good hormones

Sunlight improves our energy by enhancing muscle performance and improving oxidation of the tissues, along with giving us a vitamin D boost. Choose a morning swim to catch some recharging rays, or head to the DP World Kite Beach Fitness Village to soak up some seafront sunshine for a dose of serotonin – the hormone that affects our mood. Studies show our brains change how they perceive situations after just five minutes of being outside, so, in more ways than one your day will feel brighter once you step out.
