UNIVERSITY CITY \u2013 Safety precautions regarding the coronavirus outbreak led the Student Athletics and Recreation Department at the American University of Sharjah to start a contest for the best home workout video on March 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of the competition is to keep students physically active during the suspension of activities and gym classes at the university.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contest ends on April 2 and the winner will receive a stack of supplements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants are required to send their home workout videos to the official AUS athletics Instagram page. The clips will be uploaded to showcase the competitors\u2019 abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contestants used water gallons as a replacement for weights and rolls of toilet paper instead of footballs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Member of the AUS women\u2019s football team Yousra Kadri said that she enjoyed watching how creative her peers were with their exercises.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cParticipating was a great way for me to get up and work out,\u201d Kadri added. \u201cThe whole team is out of shape and this simple challenge made us all sore.\u201d
