Aimed at making fitness fun and raising the level of physical and mental competency, strength and ability among its participants, a wide spectrum of activities have been included in the challenge. These include Desert Race, Color Race, Swimming Championships, Time Trials, Triathlon, Cycling and many more. The entire concept has been designed in such a way that it’ll, in addition to motivating people to step out of their comfort zones, also inspire them to stay healthy, utilize their weekends having fun and feeling energized with family and friends.

Track your progress with an app

However, what turns out to be the game changer here is the app that has been developed in line with the challenge. In order to keep people informed about their progress, their workout history, their performance rating and other facts and figures in place, a specialized-user-friendly application has been developed. This has enabled anytime anywhere access for the user and keeps his attention hooked to the purpose.

With the motive of fostering this awareness and consciousness in the psyche of the people for all times to come, it takes extra care of providing inspirational stories, personal anecdotes from achievers, fitness tips, keys to healthy lifestyle and many other such informational pieces from time to time to boost the confidence and vigour of the participants.
