People often make a mockery of exercise in Ramadan. Like, seriously, who’s got the energy to actually get up lift weights or run around when you are going the day without food. Sounds rational, right? WRONG! There is this HUGE misconception where working out in Ramadan is something which isn’t supposed to happen and doesn’t happen, because let’s face it, if we are going the whole day without food that means there is no need to work out and we will lose weight anyway, right? WRONG AGAIN!
Many Muslims believe they are not able to exercise safely during Ramadan. Or, they don’t know the best way or time to do it. Just because you are fasting, does NOT mean you should stop exercising!
Today’s Amanah Fitness Fit Fasting Episode is all about working out in Ramadan! We are going to talk about these misconceptions and show you that working out and exercise IS possible. You just got to do it the right way 😉
Tips to Keep in mind While Exercising in Ramadan
1) Keep in mind: You don’t necessarily HAVE to exercise WHILE FASTING in Ramadan if you are worried!
2) ALWAYS listen to your body and do not exceed your limits!
3) Hydrate properly at Suhoor & Iftar!
