The month of Ramadan presents some obvious obstacles in maintaining your usual exercise regime, leaving a lot of people concerned about their ability to stay on track towards their fitness goals- though that doesn’t need to be the case.
“The most important thing during Ramadan is to maintain an element of flexibility- be prepared to restructure your normal work-out routine,” Maria Ingliss, Partner & Co-Owner at Advantage Sports UAE.
When is the Best Time to Train?
Depending on your day to day to schedule, there are typically three optimal options:
- Train shortly after suhoor (just after sunrise)
- Train shortly after iftar (break your fast with a small snack first)
- Train as early in the day as possible after suhoor
Reduce Your Training Volume
The lack of food and water will have a direct impact on your ability to perform at your best, so the simplest way to overcome this is to set yourself a smaller target during each Ramadan fitness session.
