Even if you don’t want to attend a sports facility you can still enjoy all the health and fitness benefits that playing sports can provide.

What’s more, you don’t need to be super fit or have any previous experience of playing tennis in the UAE. A personal tennis coach can teach your family as a group which is a cost-saving way to learn too.
• Swimming. Great fun for all the family and especially great for many kids because it’s a fun way to do exercise. Swimming can help with weight loss in the UAE, staying in great shape and even improve your cardio fitness.
Can’t swim? No problem, there are plenty of swimming classes and even swimming personal trainers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai who can provide swimming lessons for adults, kids and even entire families.
• Cycling. A good way to get outdoors in the fresh air, cycling can be enjoyed by all ages and while children might think riding a bike is just for fun parents know that it also providing some really good exercise benefits too.
If you think you might enjoy cycling for family fitness in the UAE try to limit your cycling to the early morning to stay out of the heat of the day. Alternatively an indoor exercise bike can help too and is ideal for cycling fitness at home.
• Football. Not just or the boys, football can be enjoyed by adult and children. The larger your family the more players you have! While it might seem like just a fun sport football provides some surprising health and fitness benefits too.
It will help you build strong muscles, football can help with co-ordination, it will definitely help you lose weight and for kids and adults alike it builds confidence and a feeling of achievement. To really up your game book a football personal fitness coach in the UAE.
• Walking. Although it might not seem like an active ‘activity’ taking a good stretch of the legs everyday in the UAE provides so many benefits for all the family. It can help with digestion after your evening meal, it helps to get the blood pumping which in turn supplies important nutrients to the muscles. Walking can also help you stay mobile and flexible too.
Taking either a good walk in the morning or evening (or both if you and your family have time) will help you clear your head too.
