Ramadan is a time to reflect, and make positive changes.
It helps connect your body mind and soul, and also a natural way to detox.
Your main focus should be on eating healthy balanced meals at Iftar/Sehri that will give you enough energy throughout the day, whilst cleansing your mind, body and soul of toxicity.
I get asked about weight loss and exercise a lot every Ramadan, and my answer will always be the same.
Avoid binge eating, Ramadan is not about lavish meals, food wastage, nor showing off.
Cut down on deep fried foods, as it'll make you slouchy and feel heavy, not great food choices, plus doesn't help with trying to use this time to detox your body naturally.
You do not start exercising during Ramadan to lose weight. Ramadan is not for weight loss, but to reflect on self and make positive changes to your lifestyle.
If you haven't trained prior to Ramadan, then starting training during Ramadan is not recommended.
Those who regularly train however can either choose to maintain their training routine or use this time for recovery and use it as 'off peak' season from training.
Suitable Training times during Ramadan:
3 x per week is ideal
Half and hour before Iftar (body weight exercises)
2 hours after Iftar (body weight exercises or maintenance your current training)
After Teraweeh prayers. (body weight exercises or maintenance your current training)
Ramadan isn't complicated, so keep it simple, eat simple, train simple, change to better yourself. It's a time to reduce food wastage, reduce binge eating, detox your body naturally and give money to charity, and think about the poor and how they survive on one meal per day.
