STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING
Stand Up Paddle Boarding not only gets you your daily dose of exercise, but it allows you to sunbathe, too! This activity tests your core strength, flexibility and balance, as you stay afloat and glide along the water. Stand Up Paddle Boarding is a relatively low impact workout, and easy for all to grasp and participate in.
HIKING AND CAMPING
Planning a hike and camp trip when the weather gets better is one of the best ways you can stay fit, as well as spend time with your family and friends. You can find a lot of hiking trails and camping grounds located in popular parts of UAE, so plan ahead and enjoy a day of hiking through rocky trails, or choose to find a comfortable spot to camp for the night.
SKATING AND SCOOTERING
Riding a scooter through the city streets is one of the most perfect ways to travel short distances, while also enjoying the lovely weather. This activity not only helps you improve your coordination and balance, but also allows you to engage your core muscles as you zoom through the streets. If you’re not fond of scootering, skating is a perfect activity for all ages and skill levels to consider.
