Emirati triathlete Faris Al-Zaabi will be helping people in Abu Dhabi reach peak physical and mental performance over the next 10 weeks, using his time cutting through waves, pedalling while in the saddle and pacing the streets of the UAE to inspire and motivate the capital via an online health and wellbeing programme.
Hit a wall with your training? Or just want to score top nutritional tips from a certified fitness expert?
Either way, Al-Zaabi is on hand to help, and will have you feeling fighting fit quicker than it takes to change a flat tyre.
Encompassing a wide range of activities to fit all tastes, the Let’s Connect campaign will comprise 20 totally free initiatives, dispensing advice on nutrition and healthy eating, as well as inspiring transformation stories.
Let’s Connect also draws on ways in which community spirit can be maintained despite social distancing, while further community-focused initiatives will tackle different topics ranging from diversity in the UAE to the environment and tips on energy saving.
Al-Zaabi himself will be take charge of five sessions.
He said: “Mental wellness goes hand-in-hand with physical health and over the coming weeks we have some really exciting activities around both.
“I encourage everybody regardless of age, gender or ability to get involved and connect with people that have similar interests.”
And what’s more, anybody participating in the programme is encouraged to tag the official handle to be in with a chance of winning five-star hotel stays in the UAE, tickets to leading theme parks and gift vouchers.
Rewarded for tuning into a free health MOT? Sounds like a win-win to us.
