Introduction

Physical inactivity and obesity are leading risk factors for global mortality [1]. The increase in the global obesity epidemic during the past few decades is substantial. However, there are wide variations in obesity prevalence across countries and populations due to socioeconomic, cultural and transport differences in national and local environments [2]. Industrial countries have witnessed significant technological advancement and automation during the first half of the 20th century. This was paralleled by decreases in food energy supply that helped in preserving low obesity prevalence. However, in the 1970s–1980s, an energy balance turning point seems to have occurred in many high-income countries [3], followed by a number of middle-income and low-income countries who have joined the global surge in obesity prevalence in adults and children [4,5]. It appears that the most obvious environmental precondition for a population to develop obesity is sufficient wealth and economic prosperity [5]. Since the discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf region in the 1960s, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries that comprise Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have experienced continued growth in population, per capita income and wealth. The UAE and Qatar in particular have grown the fastest in terms of population, per capita income and wealth [6]. With this growth, the Qatari population has witnessed significant lifestyle changes due to rapid urbanisation, the dominance of personal transport, the introduction of labour-saving devices, the availability of high-fat and dense-caloric foods, increased reliance on telecommunication technology, as well as decreased occupational-work demands [7,8].

These lifestyle changes have had a considerable impact on reducing the physical requirements of daily life and have encouraged sedentary lifestyles. This lifestyle transformation is thought to be greatly responsible for the significant increase in non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer and diabetes mellitus type II in Qatar [9]. Diabetes and CVD have become the leading causes of morbidity and mortality over the past two decades in Qatar [10]. The most important risk factors of non-communicable diseases in the Arabian Gulf countries include high blood pressure, high concentrations of cholesterol in the blood, inadequate intake of fruit and vegetables, being overweight or obesity, physical inactivity and tobacco use [9]. Five of these risks are closely related to inappropriate diet and physical inactivity. In the GCC countries, alarming levels of physical inactivity have been reported, as well as poor dietary practices, predisposing them to health problems [11-13]. To date, limited attempts have been made to examine the interrelationship of these risk factors within young adults. However, directional relationships have been identified in several studies. For example, previous research has demonstrated positive correlations between:

1) Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and poor dietary habits [14];
2) Skipping breakfast, lower nutritional status and increasing the risk of cardio-vascular disease [15]; and
3) Low fruit and vegetable intake and low physical activity (PA) [16]. Consequently, whilst these studies have tended to focus on the significance of one unhealthy behaviour in isolation, research has shown that health behaviours often coexist with clear evidence of clustering [16-26].

Different Class of Weight Reduction

Abs Crunch

Side Plank: When in plank position, rotate on to one side, holding your weight on one forearm, with legs straight and feet stacked on top of each other. Lift the other arm. Push your hip to the ceiling to maintain alignment. on other side. Control your breathing (Figure 1).

Instrument Based Cardio +Abdominal

Treadmill

A treadmill is a device generally for walking or running or climbing while staying in the same place.

Cross Trainer

An elliptical trainer or cross-trainer (also called an X-trainer) is a stationary exercise machine used to simulate stair climbing, walking, or running without causing excessive pressure to the joints, hence decreasing the risk of impact injuries.
