Voltaren Emulgel by Novartis Consumer Health is participating once again in the 2006 Dubai Marathon which is being held on February 14th, 2006, offering participants and their families informative and entertaining activities.
Registration for the marathon is on the 14th, 15th and 16th of February in Hall 8 in the Trade Center where people who register have the opportunity to find out their real age and even win a voucher for a body massage at the House of Chi!
If you are on of those who want to place health and fitness on top of their New year Resolutions, then visit our stand on the dates and venue mentioned above and try the Voltaren Emulgel Fitness Age Assessment Program to know what it is all about.
The fitness age is a reflection of how physically fit a person is, regardless of their chronological age. It is based on a group of test including BMI (height and weight), resting heart rate, lung capacity, blood pressure, body fat and endurance workouts.
George Wagih, Brand Manager for Voltaren Emulgel said: ”The majority of people living in the region needlessly suffer from body ailments such as arthritis, obesity, and osteoporosis due to the absence of exercise and neglecting to strengthen muscles and increase stamina, and many fail to realize the effects of physical inactivity on the muscles and joints and tend to associate any pains to aging. However body ailments are related more to a person’s health and fitness status. A 30 year old may have the fitness age of a 60 year old and will suffer from body ailments at a much earlier stage”.
Voltaren Emulgel is the anti-inflammatory treatment emulsion gel used by many athletes to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in muscles and joints. The fitness age program has been designed as part of ongoing educational efforts by Voltaren to raise awareness on the importance of adopting an exercise regimen, build muscle fitness as a preventative measure against pain and address the barriers that stop people from working out regularly.
The day of the marathon also brings more entertaining activities sponsored by Voltaren Emulgel, such as drumming, which improves health by boosting the immune system, raising endorphin levels (endorphins reduce the sensation of pain and affect emotions), lowering stress, fatigue and anxiety and affecting our heart rate and blood pressure.
Warm up sessions will also be demonstrated before each marathon by professional trainers.
So if you have been neglecting to incorporate exercise in your daily routine, this is the time to wake up and take better care of your health. Encorporate exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle to strengthen muscles, lessen the body’s physical age and avoid body pains.
