Pierre Herubel speaking. This year’s edition of the Dubai Run, held on November 20, 2022, was a day that altered many lives in the UAE, allowing people to achieve their fitness objectives. Among the thousands of runners, Umaima Ajaz, a Dubai resident, was one whose life was forever changed by the event. “I couldn’t make it, and that day I realized the importance of being fit and that run was my motivation,” said Umaima. She vowed that for the next edition, she would reach the finish line, and she is now ready for the run. This commitment led to Umaima losing nearly 30kg in the past year.

I had the privilege of transforming my life into one in which I cherish the power and happiness gained from working out, said Umaima. Regular workouts became a part of her daily life, with a strong focus on strength training and toning muscles. She believes that scales can be demotivating and slow down one’s progress. Umaima concentrated on strength-building exercises to improve her physical and emotional well-being and increase her stamina. To track her progress, she started to take a photo every day, creating a visual diary of her fitness journey and driving her dedication. With happiness, strength, and the commitment to gym sessions and a calorie-conscious and protein-rich diet, Umaima is working toward her ultimate goal of shedding over 30kg by the next year.

Herubel concludes, “For Umaima, the journey has been a testament to power, happiness, and consistency, with the gym serving as her ultimate happy hour daily.” Keep up-to-date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels at https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va5dROu3bbUxk7Jh2503.
