What an eventful weekend we just had in Abu Dhabi! With Daman ActiveLife’s Electric Run, #theADmovement x Guavapass Community run at the Eastern Mangroves Hotel and the Fatima bint Mubarak Sports Academy’s ShowJumping cup, there was enough to keep us all busy and active (not to mention all the non-fitnut related events phew). While I feel I need another couple of days to fully recover, the season is in full swing and I’ve got a lot more to share with you this week. So without further ado, my top picks for the week – and they don’t only include events:

Get outdoors for a bench workout!
One piece of “equipment” I love to use is ….. a bench! There are benches everywhere and there’s so much you can do with one. So why not head out for a little walk, jog or bike ride and stop at a close by bench for some exercises.
Here are a few you can try:
Kayla Itsines 20-minute Bench Workout
Tone it Up Walk your dog workout
And if you are somewhere with benches every few meters, try adding cardio bursts between benches!
What are you favorite exercises to do on a bench? What is your favorite outdoor workout? Please share with us in the comment box below.
Get rid of acne for good? Yes Please.
I’ve struggled quite a bit with my skin in the last couple of years. I’ve seen a handful of specialists, including dermatologists and functional medicine doctors to help clear my skin and determine the root cause of my skin problems. What I did learn is that skin issues are issues that need to be tackled from all aspects and this article is probably one of the best I’ve read: Your definitive plan for getting rid of acne (once and for all)
” Fighting acne is not just a topical situation (unfortunately). From what you put in your breakfast smoothie to your sleep habits, a range of lifestyle factors have an impact on the glow level of your skin.
That’s why you get different advice from different experts: While your dermatologist might not recommend that you cute dairy, for instance, a nutritionist isn’t about to suggest a serum for your skin type.
Because of the various factors that affect your complexion, I tapped a pro from every pillar of your skin-care routine for their top tips, so you can attack acne from all fronts—once and for all. Consider this your definitive guide.”
