READ FULL ARTICLE ON BEST FASTING EXERCISE TIME:
OPTION 1: Workout 1 hour before suhoor
– Ideal of fasting weight loss and Ramadan fat burn
– Safe, no risk of dehydration
– Lower risk for muscle loss as you can immediately enjoy suhoor as a post-workout meal
– Great cardio and strength training in Ramadan, because there’s no difference to a non-fasted workout!
– Ideal for Ramadan in winter timezone for late Suhoor
– BUT may be impractical to wake up so early to exercise before suhoor
– May sacrifice sleep or Qiyaam
⭐️ Finish your workout with ENOUGH time to eat suhoor. NEVER skip suhoor because you’re working out. You NEED to refuel your muscles and hydrate properly at suhoor. Also, don’t let working out take over your Ramadan nights. Remember that’s NOT the focus or purpose of Ramadan!
OPTION 2: Workout immediately after breaking your fast (BEFORE eating Iftar)
– Break your fast with dates and water, pray Maghrib, workout immediately, then eat Iftar after you workout.
– Ideal for improved cardio in Ramadan and strength training
– Safe, no risk of dehydration
– Low risk for muscle loss in Ramadan with pre- and post-workout fuel
– Catch Taraweh, Qiyaam and get a full night’s sleep.
– Less likely to overeat at Iftar after doing a great workout
– Ideal for Ramadan in winter timezone for late Suhoor
– Ideal if you have complete control over your schedule and don’t mind eating a later dinner.
– BUT for Ramadan in summer, not enough time to workout before Taraweh
– May interrupt family dinner time in Ramadan
⭐️ Workout with your family! Do a short workout to catch taraweh as well.
OPTION 3: Workout 1 to 2 hours after Iftar
– Safe, no dehydration, decreases risk for muscle loss
– BUT not enough time before Taraweh to exercise
– May feel bloated when exercising after taraweh
⭐️Take your time after Iftar and make sure you are not feeling bloated when starting your workout. Avoid overeating at Iftar.
OPTION 4: Workout after Taraweh
– Perform a quick workout after coming home from Taraweh before bed.
– Risk becoming nocturnal in Ramadan and missing night prayers
– Prioritise sleep in Ramadan!
⭐️Unwind with some light exercise before bed
OPTION 5: Workout fasted before Iftar
– May increase fat burn by exercising while fasted
– Workout in Ramadan before Iftar is popular for easy logistics
– BIG risk for dehydration – potentially unsafe!
⭐️Go for a brisk walk. Do something safe and light and keep it pretty easy.
OPTION 6: DON’T WORKOUT, BUT INCREASE OVERALL MOVEMENT WHILE FASTING
– Move around as MUCH as you can in Ramadan.
