Yes, the weather is a tad, erm, gloomy right now, but I’m here to remind you why Dubai is such a great place to live. Paddle board workouts. Not familiar? Allow me to explain: DRIFT Beach, located at the One&Only Royal Mirage, hosts HIIT classes in their beautiful pool every week on these boards.

It’s a way to exercise and have fun at the same time (yes, it is possible), and it’s only Dhs120 for the 40-minute class.

Think burpees, squats, mountain climbers and planking on a floating board (that’s secured by ropes so you won’t float away), all against the beautiufl ocean backdrop. 

And if you won’t do it for Instagram (honestly, who even are you?) do it for the lols. No, really. It was so fun and the 40 minutes flew by. 

This is me pulling a yoga pose after the class despite never doing yoga:
