DOHA: A countrywide weight losing competition will be launched during the National Sport Day celebrations on February 12.
This initiative, aimed at promoting the health and social benefits of an active lifestyle and a balanced diet, is open to men and women and will run for a whole year and will see the winners rewarded with prizes at the 2014 National Sport Day.
The challenge is set and directed to encourage overweight contestants to lose weight and adopt a better lifestyle, with winners being selected on the base of criteria such as weight losing ratio, percentage of fat loss and overall fitness and shape.
Participants can register only on February 12, at the sign-up locations within the QOC Sports Zone on the Doha Corniche, Katara and Aspire Zone. All entrants will be divided in three age groups for each gender, with three winners declared in each one and an overall “Winner of Winners” for each gender, adding up to 20 achievers to be announced on the 2014 National Sport Day.
Participants will be offered support throughout the year-long competition, in the shape of tailor-made dietary programmes, health and fitness consultations, specially-made workouts and special events in addition to the sport participation schemes aiming to involve individuals in sport activities.
The weight losing competition will reward winners who have worked the hardest to improve themselves and their everyday choices in the twelve months to February 2014: but with the great bonus of achieving a healthy and happier life, everyone participating in this competition is already a winner.
