How to Stay Fit During Your Trip to Dubai

Dubai is full of amazing mega malls, behemoth theme parks, and of course, amazing places to eat and drink. As a result, it can be no wonder that many are anxious about keeping their waistlines trim and maintaining their fitness levels during a vacation to the emirate, in the face of all the luxury and abundance. Here are some ways that you can keep fit, in between your busy holiday schedules while you are vacationing in Dubai with your friends or family.

Step One – Use your Hotel Gym

Whether you are staying at a city hotel or a short-stay serviced residence, you are likely to have access to an onsite gym. Make use of it daily to work off all the extra calories that you consume during your exploration of this lively city! Even if you have a busy schedule, make time for a quick 20-minute workout before breakfast or later at night (whichever you prefer based on whether you are an early bird or a night owl). It can do wonders to help you keep fit and healthy. Also, lifting some weights will help you maintain your muscle tone and mass, which is great for those selfies you are sure to be planning to take.

Step Two – Sign up for Sessions at a Wellness Centre

From IV Therapy treatments (where you are detoxed using a trusted concoction of vitamins that are given to you intravenously) to Ayurvedic treatments that have been honed over thousands of years, Dubai has several world-class wellness centres. They offer treatments to help you get over anything from jet lag to weight issues. If you are staying at a resort such as Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort, you can access an onsite wellness center. Dubai is truly glamorous in terms of offering the biggest and best of most things that you can find on the planet (or, at least, that's what it seems to strive to provide), and these days, that has also extended to offering some of the best wellness-based treatments you can find in the world. After all, health is wealth!

Step Three – Hate Hitting the Gym? Go Cycling Instead!

Are you one of those people that just can't stand working out in a gym? Then there's another option for you to consider. Why not go cycling instead? Dubai has a lot of cycling routes that are suitable for riders of all skill levels. So rent a bicycle, and give one of these routes a shot to see how you like it! It's also a great way to kill two birds with one stone, as you'll be able to experience more of the city as you're cycling along! Wondering where you can rent a bike? One option is to just take one from the cycle-rental stations that are spread out throughout the city. You'll be paying for them by the hour.

Step Four – Prefer Using your Own Two Feet?

If you would rather jog or run than riding a bicycle, the city offers plenty of jogging and running tracks as well.

Step Five – Like the Idea of Gymming, but Hate being Stuck Indoors?

If that's the case, there's a perfect option for you. Dubai has a number of outdoor gyms located throughout the city. Some of the spots where you can find these outdoor fitness facilities include Kite Beach, The Beach, and outside the SkyDive Dubai centre. What better way to keep fit on holiday than by working out while enjoying scenic beach views? If that doesn't motivate you to stick with your gym routine while on holiday, well then, perhaps nothing else will!
