Hosted by the BodyBeat Recreational Centre, the Body Makeover Challenge is an excellent opportunity to display your conditioning and strength. You will find out exactly where you need to develop further when you put your body on the line and push your limits.
The BodyBeat Recreational Centre is one of the pioneers of Dance and Fitness in the country, and have organised various programs catered to all fitness levels and age groups. In the venue of internationally recognised educational institution L’ecole, they are now teaming up with a panel of Karachi’s most esteemed fitness experts, including Spartan Fitness CEO Muhammad Bilal Munir, Pilates lab’s Maha Hussein and Nusrat Hidayatullah and Torsam Tajik from the 42 Day challenge.
The Red Carpet opens at 4:30PM, where you will have a chance to converse with the diverse panel in their various disciplines. Hef Clothing and Spartan Fitness will be showcasing their collections and renowned Karachi DJ Shakir Abedeen will be on the decks before the ultimate challenge starts at 6:00PM sharp.
Challenge 1 is a classic push-up challenge timed for 2 minutes – bang out as many as you can. Challenge 2 asks you to ‘static squat’ until failure. Challenge 3 begins to truly test your endurance and conditioning with 2 minutes of burpees.
Both Challenge 4 and 5 will blast your core – a single legged plank hold until failure is followed by a 2 minute plank walkout. Challenge 6 puts your stability and coordination under scrutiny when you performing a Turkish Get Up. The final challenge is by far the most difficult, and is Wheatable’s ‘challenge of the event’ – the notoriously difficult test of strength, stability and balance in Pistol Squats.
Winners of each challenge will be given prizes worth a total of 100,000 Rupees. Don’t miss this excellent chance to assess your general level of fitness and test yourself against the best in Karachi.
