Testing Out: Booty Barre

Because… why not have a bit of fun when you’re at the barre? Motion Fitness in Jumeirah has a great new class that’ll get you moving, without feeling like you’re under too much strain. By no means does this mean it’s an easy class though, don’t get me wrong… there’s muscles in your legs you never knew existed, even if you work out regularly. Bootybarre at Motion Fitness

Bootybarre is a fun, energetic, workout that fuses a variety of stretching, balancing and power techniques from dance, pilates and of course yoga that are said to tone and define the whole body. It’s a combination of strength and flexibility with an added cardiovascular element too. Your muscles will see minute but targeted activity with added resistance using the barre, weights, bands and the exercise balls too. Bootybarre at Motion Fitness

Fish & Chips at their Finest 🐟🍟

There’s a handful of ‘authentic’ British dishes that I judge quite harshly out here… with fish and chips being the hardest for restaurants to get right (or so it seems). Their mushy peas are either too dry or non-existent or their batter is too oily, but i’m pleased to announce i’ll be haunting this new waterfront hotspot on a Thursday eve! Senara

Where: SENARA is a homegrown concept fusing the UAE’s staple seafood cuisine with Head Chef Anthony Reilly’s British flair. It’s the newest seafood bistro to open in Dubai, fully conceptualised in the UAE and situated perfectly on the waters edge of the Palm Jumeirah, boasting some of the best sunset views in town. Just a stones-throw from the Shoreline, Golden Mile and Frond villas. 14

What to try: Signatures include a host of fresh fish dishes daily. Its famous fish & chips is a must of course, buckets of mussels & oysters and a mouth-watering lobster linguini is amongst many more mains. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, the baked cheesecake is a worthy dish, and don’t underestimate the apple crumble or sticky date pudding… a true fusion of cultures. Senara

It’s also just about to get its alcohol license through so stay tuned!
