UNIVERSITY CITY, SHARJAH – American University of Sharjah announced Sunday it would hold a second edition of its “Men’s and Women’s Biggest Winner” fat-loss challenge, from Oct. 18-Nov. 19.
According to an email by Director of Student Athletics and Recreation Graeme Dobie, the deadline to register for this competition is Oct. 8 at 5 p.m.
Like an earlier edition, held online from June 21-July 21, the new competition encourages students to achieve their fitness goals by losing weight, maintaining a healthy well-balanced diet, and working out.
A student who competed in the first challenge, Suad Ahmed, said the “experience was really helpful… The fact that there were other girls in the group sharing their experience was interesting and motivational.”
The AUS coach sent a weekly workout schedule to all participants, and each week the workouts’ intensity gradually increased.
The coach also sent a Zoom meeting link on Thursdays to hold a group workout session with all participants.
Ahmed added that her fat loss process was pleasant because the coach would be available to assist participants with questions about diet or workouts.
