She said that an account on Instagram – exercise together.bh – was created to promote this initiative and allow more interaction among members of the society.

The remaining trainers are Bader Sultan, Awatef Al Nejdi, Fatma Al Burshaid, Ali Yousef, Ammar Al Kuwari, Mohammed Naji, Rashid Slais, Mohammed Bakhsh, Layla Al Ali, Fadi Humaidan, Mohammed Al Sharqawi and Murtada Karashi.

This programme was initially inaugurated last February by Supreme Council for Youth and Sports deputy general secretary and BOC general secretary Abdulrahman Askar at Muharraq’s Dohat Arad walkway.
