Health and fitness fun days: The key to a healthy life

Fighting fit: There will be karate and Jiu Jitsu on offer among other activities.

Getting fit and healthy has never been more important. In a world of computer screens, long hours sitting down and living the constant stresses of the modern world, the need to be fit and healthy in body and mind is as strong as ever.

Luckily, what makes a healthy lifestyle now is much clearer than it has ever been and the information has never been more accessible.

Over the next two days in Abu Dhabi, the Health and Fitness Fun Days will help show and educate people of all ages and all walks of life how to best use what little time they have to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Organised by the Abu Dhabi Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training, the 2013 Health and Fitness Fun day kicks off today at the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Centre Halls 3, 4 and Atrium.

Abu Dhabi residents will have the chance to try new activities and sports, get a completely free health check-up and meet experts who will give advice on the best ways to stay healthy.

The activities are many and varied including self-defence classes, fire safety demonstrations, horse riding, karate, Jiu Jitsu as well as general aerobic disciplines and fitness exercises. There are also activities like mini-golf and cycling as well as a climbing wall for the more daring participants.

One of the factors behind ill-health for many people is that many of us simply don?t know whether we are healthy or not. Not having a big gut isn?t necessarily a sign of health and weighing on the higher side doesn?t always mean you are unhealthy.

Many of us are plagued by nagging pains but have no idea about its severity. Some of us suffer from aching joints, or chronic fatigue and myriad of other ailments but don?t look into it.

Before you plan to get healthy, firstly you must find out what, or if, anything is wrong with you at all. That is where the Health and Fitness Fun Days comes in. Visitors will be able to take advantage of a full range of health screenings offered by the most renowned healthcare providers and clinics in the UAE.

All the tests are free and all visitors will be given full privacy by the top doctors on hand. Should there be a nagging pain or ache that is mostly harmless but you still want to get rid of it, there is a place you can go.

The Wellness area of the Abu Dhabi Health and Fitness Fun Days has relaxing back massages and reflexology therapy sessions that will leave you floating out of the door at the end.

As well as diagnosis and exercise, one of the most important, or maybe even the most important, aspect of a healthy lifestyle is what you eat. For those looking to embrace a new diet and find ways to cook simple, easy dishes that don?t pile on the pounds, there will be expert nutritionists on hand to help you with everything you need to maintain a life you?ve always wanted.

Famous Emirati chefs will disclose their cooking secrets at the live cooking show corner.

The Health and Fitness Days are open to everybody; children, families, fitness enthusiasts, intrepid dieters or just someone looking to shave off a few pounds.
