As a British Lady with over 15 years experience in the health and fitness industry, I recently moved to Saudi Arabia from the UK as a Fitness Consultant working with Ex Pats and Saudi ladies.
There is still a huge divide between our cultures but at the end of the day we are all ladies trying to improve our health and fitness together.
I teach many fitness classes, Pilates, Spinning, Power pump Boxing and more, ladies only and mixed.
Ladies are very relaxed once they can remove their Abayas in the privacy of a studio or gym, but many need encouragement. I lead Health and Wellbeing Detox Retreats in Dubai and Europe, educating small groups to eat healthier and enjoy a variety of exercise. I also deliver Health and wellbeing workshops in the workplace and schools.
Initially I felt a little intimidated with the ladies fully covered, and had a feeling they were looking at me in my fitness clothing and not very impressed or unfriendly, but as I get to know the Saudi ladies, I love them, they are not only beautiful but have a gentle fun nature, once they feel comfortable with you. Many of the ladies, lack confidence.
It is shocking that the majority of the ladies I work with are overweight and many definitely obese. This saddens me as they are so young, under 30 years old.
For Saudi ladies, Fitness is a growing trend but a lot more changes and support from families and in the workplace need to happen to encourage more ladies to change their eating habits and incorporate physical activity into their lives.
These changes won’t happen overnight and can’t be a temporary quick fix, it has to be a lifestyle change. They need educating in nutrition and wellness. Diets are very unhealthy here, yet although I am based in a remote area, I still manage to buy fresh fruit and healthy natural foods.
KSA 3rd in World Obesity Ranking
The British Medical Journal has put the ratio of laziness and obesity in the Kingdom at 86percent, which is one of the main causes of diseases like diabetes - a disease affecting 25 percent of the Saudi population.
Dr Khalid Al-Ajjaji is one of the experts who have expressed concern over the high rate of diabetes in the Kingdom. He said that a local study found that 70 percent of Saudis were overweight not obese. The most common cause of obesity is bad eating habits, lack of physical activity, late nights and eating late. ARAB NEWS
Saud al-Qahtani, a media advisor to the Royal Court, tweeted that the Kingdom was on the path of “moderation without without moral breakdown” I totally understand and respect this, but husbands, Fathers, schools and workplaces really need to encourage their women to eat healthier and exercise, to join gyms and fitness classes with out corrupting public morals. They need the education and experience of the western world to share their knowledge.
This applies to men also. With the momentous social and economic changes the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is making, I hope the encouragement of health and wellbeing will be on his list. The Crown Prince is shaking up Saudi Arabia, I like the sound of his positivity and would be honoured to propose a plan to help the people of Saudi live healthier and longer lives, by implementing programs for schools and work environments.
The "Man of Action” is definitely a real life Action Man.

Proteins are, after water, the most abundant substance in the entire body. Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids. Amino acids are crucial for every metabolic process in the body. There are 22 amino acids in total and all of them are important. Humans can produce 10 out of the 22 amino acids – the remaining 12 must be supplied through the food we consume.
Protein is a key molecule found in every single cell of the body.
Proteins are divided into two main groups: complete proteins and plant proteins. Being a huge part of all our body’s cells, proteins make sure everything functions optimally, and help with growth, maintenance, and repair of tissue. Proteins transport messages between cells, keep our immune system strong, regulate organ function, and so much more.
We have to consume two or three small portions of protein every day. As long as we provide our body with the recommended daily amount, our cells don’t mind if the proteins are complex or plant-based.
The daily recommended amount of protein is different for every body, and the amount depends largely on your lifestyle. The more active you are, the more protein your body requires. Generally it should be calculated in the following way:
0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.36 grams per pound. This amounts to: 56 grams per day for the average sedentary man and 46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman.
Your body needs 22 different types of amino acids to function properly. Adults can synthesize 13 of those within the body (known as non-essential amino acids), but the other 9 must be obtained from food (known as essential amino acids). It’s these essential amino acids that derive the classification of protein as either complete or incomplete.2
Complete proteins are those that contain all essential amino acids in sufficient quantity – these are typically animal-based proteins, but a few plant sources are also considered complete. A few examples:
Incomplete proteins are those that don’t contain all 9 essential amino acids, or don’t have sufficient quantities of them to meet the body’s needs, and must be supplemented with other proteins. These include:
Just because they are incomplete doesn’t make them inferior, though, they just need to be combined to provide the right balance of essential aminos. Proteins that, in combination, make a complete amino acid profile are known as complementary proteins.
Complementary proteins don’t necessarily need to be eaten together, but since your body doesn’t store amino acids for later use in protein combining, they should be eaten throughout a day’s meals.
