Legendary DJ Bravo finds his ‘30’ with the next generation through the Dubai Fitness Challenge

Designed
to
celebrate
fitness
and
wellness,
the
Challenge
aims
to
bring
together
not
just
everyone
in
the
UAE,
but
inspire
the
world
to
complete
30-minutes
of
activity
each
day
for
a
30-day
period.

With
the
inaugural
International
League
T20
fast
approaching,
those
involved
with
the
league
identify
with
the
beliefs
on
which
the
initiative
is
founded
and
the
fitness
demands
required
of
today’s
cricket-stars.
And,
in
an
exciting
collaboration
between
the
ICC
Academy
(Dubai
Sports
City,
Dubai)
and
the
ILT20,
tagged
ILT20FIT,
tomorrow’s
cricketing
stars
took
the
challenge
by
the
hand
on
Sunday
(Nov.
20),
at
the
ICC
Academy,
and
found
their
30
through
a
morning
of
fun
exercise
challenges
spearheaded
by
the
dashing
icon
of
cricket,
DJ
Bravo,
who
will
represent
MI
Emirates
franchise
team
in
the
inaugural
league.

Mubashshir
Usmani,
General
Secretary
Emirates
Cricket
said,
“ILT20
League
management
is
very
pleased
to
support
the
Dubai
Fitness
Challenge
30×30
through
our
ILT20FIT
activity,
and
we
are
grateful
of
DJ’s
unwavering
commitment
to
lead
this
session
and
inspire
a
healthier,
fitter
future
for
all
–
regardless
of
age
and
fitness-level.
We
are
confident
these
young,
talented
players
will
become
more
aware
of
their
lifestyle
and
fitness
habits
and
how
they
can
benefit
from
making
such
lifestyle
changes
as
they
pursue
their
dreams
and
goals.”

DJ
Bravo,
Legendary
cricketer
and
ILT20
player,
said,
“This
is
a
great
initiative
by
Dubai
and
its
leaders,
and
I
am
really
happy
to
be
a
part
of
the
ILT20FIT
movement,
it
sends
a
strong
message
about
health
(to
the
community)
and
to
see
first-hand
how
simple
it
is
to
bring
one
change
into
your
life.
Fitness
is
fun
and
getting
kids
to
move
and
to
understand
the
importance
of
their
lifestyle
choices
is
incredibly
important,
and
anyone
can
start
at
any
age
–
the
key
is
to
just
start.
If
I
can
inspire
kids,
and
their
parents,
to
consider
making
one
change
then
job
done,
another
fitness
convert
for
a
healthier
tomorrow.”

Salman
Hanif,
Head
of
Cricket
Business
Dubai
Sports
City
said,
“Fitness
is
an
integral
part
of
developing
the
future
athlete
and
we,
at
the
ICC
Academy,
are
extremely
cognisant
of
incorporating
an
element
of
fitness
and
wellness
into
all
our
programs
and
activities.
To
see
our
Academy
students
enthusiastically
join
in
and
be
inspired
by
DJ
during
this
’30×30′ activity
is
extremely
encouraging
as
we
help
them
understand
the
importance
of
how
fitness
and
performance
intertwine.
We
extend
our
thanks
to
our
Academy
students,
and
their
parents,
for
taking
the
time
to
join
us
for
this
activity.”
