Women in Abu Dhabi are being given the opportunity to kickstart a healthier lifestyle and support the national drive for breast cancer awareness by participating in the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Sports Academy’s Pink Fitness Week.
The ladies-only event, run to support the Health Authority Abu Dhabi’s (HAAD) Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Cancer Wave campaign, is a series of top-quality fitness classes led by fully-qualified instructors from Abu Dhabi Country Club. There will also be medical experts from HAAD on hand to offer advice on healthy living and the importance of self-examination.
Pink Fitness Week takes place from October 21-24 at the Family Development Foundation Sports Hall from 7-8pm. Classes include pilates, body combat, zumba, and yoga .
During morning sessions Pink Fitness Week instructors will host free fitness classes for students from various universities around the capital, followed by a healthy breakfast and a seminar on breast cancer awareness by Tawam Hospital.
The Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Sports Academy was established in 2010 to promote the importance of increased sports participation to women in the UAE, especially the Emirati population. Chaired by Sheikha Fatima Bint Hazza Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Academy organises and supports events that assist in the development of women in sport.
While the classes during Pink Fitness Week are targeted at Emirati women, they are open to all women.
