SAY OF THE DAY::::::::: The 5 Essential Tips for Your Fitness Program in Ramadan #1- Adjust Your Fitness Goals in Ramadan If your goals are to lose weight, get stronger or simply to become more physicallyfit put improvements on hold during this month. Make your goal simply to maintain where you are. Making fitness or weight loss improvementsrequires you giving your body a deficient of some sort which causes a reductionin energy, and often compromises the immune system. #2-Reduce the Intensity of your Exercise. Reducing the intensity of the exercise will allow you to stay consistent in working outwithout over taxing your energy reserve. If you normally run reduce to a speed walk. If you lift weights using 12lbs use 8lbs, and if you normally workout for an hour reduce your workout time to 30-45 minutes. #3-Combine Cardio and Resistance Training If you normally do both cardio and resistance training as a part of your workoutand can’t find the time or energy to do both in Ramadan then combine them bothinto a resistance training circuit. Circuit training in general is one of the most effective ways to burnfat and it has the extra benefit of allowing you to burn more calories in ashort amount of time. A circuit isperformed by doing 3-6 exercises in a quick succession without stopping betweeneach exercise. #4-Be Consistent, Even if it is Small To achieve and maintaining any fitness level or goal is 80% consistency. Being consistentin doing something will make the biggest difference in having a successfullyfit Ramadan. #5 Workout When it Works If you feel the need to fit a good workout in you may have to plan your workout inyour day. Instead of exercising whenit’s convenient choose a time when you have the most energy and it won’tcompromise your fast. This may meanwaking up just 20 minutes earlier than you would normally for Zahur so you canwork out and then eat immediately. Somepeople find they have a renewed since of energy right before they break theirfast and that may be the best time to exercise. Pay attention to your energy level during the first few days of Ramadan and find a time that works foryou.
