My Body My Island My Rules

 

I thought today I should share with you my daily workouts, here we go!

• Squats
• Lunges
• Burpees
• Wall Sit
• Walking
• Jogging
• Sit Ups
• Crunches
• Leg Raises
• Plank

When I first started these I used the 30 day challenges to see if I can do it and it worked perfectly, I loved the way I felt, the energy I had and  the amount of food I was eating which for me is a god given miracle to eat so much food.

Tip 1: If it’s your first time at working out try the 30 challenges at http://30dayfitnesschallenges.com/ pick 2 at first and after you have accomplished the challenge start with walking and jogging before you start new challenges.

Tip 2: Every fitness trainer or anyone in that matter would tell you do not push yourself its true don’t push yourself over your limit but do push yourself at finishing the goal you have set for yourself for that day.

Tip 3: Take a break 1 day a week I usually take Fridays because it’s when my whole family gathers at the house and we eat and eat and eat the reason for that is we all work out and our cheat day is my mother’s happy day she gets to feed her kids.

Tip 4: Always keep track of all the workouts you do download an app, make an excel sheet (my favorite thing ever) this will show you how well you did and it will motivate you to keep going.

Tip 5: Drink lots and lots of water and eat small portions meals. EAT!

Tip 6: And please make sure you have the right shoes on. Mine are Adidas.

 

It works for ME and do what works for YOU!

 

The Sand Pit Run (Post Event)

 

 

A record participation of 1,100 enthusiasts marks off the first season of this much-awaited event.

In an exhilarating environment amidst fun and cheer; Dubai’s Al Barari came alive with The Sand Pit’s debut obstacle run on April 17, 2015.

 

Conceptualized bearing in mind an aim of showing people that they are capable of taking on challenges by working together towards a shared goal; the event’s debut event logged in an impressive 1,100 number of participants including individuals and groups. As The Sand Pit Run flagged off, participants were seen cruising further and overcoming obstacles with team effort. The only event in the Middle East that’s focussed solely on an untimed obstacle run, the primary intention was offering a fun event rather than a competition. The entire event was buzzing with efficient comradeship as ‘Pitizens’ turned up in various costumes and realised their true potential in physical and mental abilities whilst having fun.

 

Speaking about the event; Firas Masri, Co-Founder and CEO of The Sand Pit said, “It is encouraging to experience the kind of support and turn around we received on our debut event. Our motive was to devise a bi annual sports event that is full of challenges both mental and physical but at the same time, an event that will make people achieve it together and not pit them against each other in competition. A winning streak when achieved with a team effort always feels more rewarding and conditions the mind better for real-life situations. We are happy that participants just let loose and simply had fun.”

 

UAE’s first ever untimed fitness challenge; runners in The Sand Pit worked together to overcome 15 obstacles ranging from crawling under barbed wires, a 4 meter slide into a water pit, a run on sand dunes, climbing up a 3 mtr wall to sliding on ice cold water; to name a few. With interesting titles, the obstacles like ‘Sub Zero’, ‘Into The Pit’, ‘Stride of Pride’, ‘The Ape Dome’, ‘Alcatraz’ etc. were designed not only to test mental and physical abilities but also encourage collaboration as opposed to competition in obstacles like, ‘The Quarter Pipe’, ‘A Friend In Need’ and ‘Walley’ to name a few.

 

 

 

The Sand Pit Challange

 

The Sand Pit is a unique 10 km obstacle run that tests your limits, physical strength and mental abilities.

The Sand Pit is not a race; it is a challenge that is not time based. Participants are required to help each other complete the course, challenge themselves and have fun! The obstacles are created to encourage participants to work together as a group as opposed to against each other.

Climb over 3 meter walls, run up sand dunes, slide through freezing cold water and many more exciting obstacles feature in the course. Participants can sign up as individuals, a team or as a company. The run will take place at Al Barari, UAE. For further information on registration and the race kindly log onto www.thesandpitrun.com

I will be there, not participating just watching people suffer: P. If you’re in the neighborhood come join us.
