Ramadan is a month of spirituality, fasting, and contemplation… but that doesn't mean you should stop exercising. With smart planning, you can stay energized, hydrated, and active. Here's how:
1. Smart "Timing" is Key to Your Workout
-
Before Iftar: Use the last hour before sunset for light cardio or stretching; this time is ideal when your energy levels are still stable and calm.
-
After Taraweeh: This is the golden time for moderate to high-intensity exercises, as you can replenish fluids and nourish your muscles immediately after exertion.
-
Pro Tip: Try Decathlon's "Yoga Mat"; it's your perfect companion for stretching and bodyweight exercises at home.
2. Smart Hydration Rule Between Meals
-
Aim to drink more than 8 glasses of water regularly between Iftar and Suhoor. Don't drink it all at once; distribute it smartly.
-
Support your body with fluid-rich foods such as: watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and warm soups to replenish what's lost during fasting hours.
