Muscat | September 11, 2013

In addition to providing customers the best in retail offerings in Oman, Muscat Grand Mall has introduced an initiative to encourage members of the community to lead active, healthy lifestyles by exercising within the air-conditioned comfort of Muscat's newest mall. 

For those who would like to shed a pound or two of weight, while indulging in a spot of window shopping, Muscat Grand Mall has brought forth the perfect solution with the 'MGM Walk' programme.

Hassan Jaboub - General Manager of Muscat Grand Mall noted," At Muscat Grand Mall, our aim is to help promote a healthy lifestyle by offering Muscat residents the opportunity to use our premises which provide a convenient, safe and climate controlled atmosphere to stay fit. To add to it all, the range of outlets that are present in the mall will give customers a lot to explore, while also benefitting their health."

He added, "We are hoping that the 'MGM Walk' becomes a favourite destination where people can come together, meet new friends and take the starting step towards a regular exercise routine."

Research has showed that the advantages of mall-walking include the fact that shopping malls are traffic free, weather resistant and safe. A 30-minute speed walk incorporating some stair climbing and lunges can burn around 200 calories.

Muscat Grand Mall's 'Mall Walk' programme is offered everyday and covers a one kilometre walk inside the mall. The mall has also draw up favourable routes, which would help those participating to map the area they have covered. Customers interested can visit the customer information desk at Muscat Grand Mall, where they can enrol for free and collect their 'Mall Walk' card.

It is the fastest growing lifestyle hub in the Sultanate offering choice and convenience for shoppers and residents, as part of a combined leisure experience.
