mefit Health & Fitness Summit in Dubai

[aliamini]

I attended the mefit 2008 Middle East Health & Fitness Summit in Dubai Aviation Club couple of Days ago … they had a lot of lectures on how to be a succeful PT … training, nutrition … but all for general health and fitness (that where the money is … not bodybuilding) 
 
An equipment and supplement (EAS) expo was held in the Garden of the club …n nothing like FIBO … but it is the best in the region … and over 22 lecturer and trainer were invited to do the theatrical and practical training for the audience … it was a great experience to have something like this in the Gulf region.
 
anf the subject of obesity in adults and children were discussed and the solutions to avoid that

also met up with Brain Deeds the founder of Performance Education Systems who was very well updated on the nutrition for health and common athletes … he had the best presentation material among all of the presented … I also got couple of his CDs … The ULTIMATE Guide To Athlete Nutrition and The Structure and Function of Skeletal Muscle … very educational and beneficial …

Too bad bodybuilding has nothing to do with health and fitness!

[aliamini]

It’s hard to market bodybuilding … if you don’t get a person who is actually a bodybuilder it’s pretty hard to convince an average Joe to become so … however fitness is more marketable and everybody wants to look good … so that’s where the money is actually

Cool thread, do you have any more pictures from the expo?

Has anyone here seen the Drug Laws in Dubai? CRAZY SHIT!!!  I was reading wear a guy got off the plane and had a poppy seed on his coat from his sandwich on the plane and he got arrested for possesion of a controlled substance. Since poppy seeds can be used to manufacture drugs. Got 4 yrs for it.

Automatic 4 yrs for 1st offense and even if you dont have drugs on you if they are in you it is possesion. I would hate to see how many top BB's would get popped as soon as they got off the plane??? But then again are AAS legal there?
