I do planks but found it hard to do push ups, planks are one of the best, tones up your whole body. Guess I need to start doing them more often. And pull ups ? No way , don’t think I can ever do that, i have seen guys do pull ups a lot at gym, that’s their favorite workout i think. I wonder how they even hold the balance.

I used to think I can’t do pull ups, but after losing weight I now can. Used to do a lot of planks but not anymore. Planks worsened my rotator cuff injury.

Like they say, “No pain, no gain.” You won’t get results until you start challenging yourself. That’s my two cents on fitness.

For push ups start with Knee pushups and then move to the regular version once you’re strong enough. Pullups are tough. Start with negatives and keep working on them until you get your first one. It is going to take time though, depending on your strength level and weight. Doing other exercises for your upper back will help you get that first pullup also. Barbell rows, dumb bell rows, seated cable rows. Just make sure you’re doing it with proper form or you’re going to injure yourself.

I would never do such risky exercises on my own either ask trainer for help or ask gym friends. Knee push ups seems easy , I am going to them everyday. :k:

Re: Home Workout

I haven’t been to a gym in over an year now. Actually I haven’t done a proper workout in a long time. Sure I’ll do a little something here and there after every two or three weeks. Make sure I can still do it. But work is just too physically demanding right now. Keeping weight is more of a concern than losing it.

Consider yourself among the fortunate - that you have a working freezer/refrigerator at your place.

I am thinking to go 3 times a week, twice on weekend and once during week days. Let’s see how it goes.

True, I believe managing weight is more harder than losing it.

I will be working out. I normally work out after Isha Traveeh … so from 1230 - 230, I will be most probably in gym (except for last days of ramdan)

Yes, I am planning to visit gym 3 times a week and it would happen 2-3 hours before Iftar. I would do some kettle bell workout after Iftar at home daily. Let’s see how it goes but i would be concentrating on eating healthier than working out.

3 times are the best for working out during Ramadan

1-After Iftar
2-After Tarahvi Prayer
3-Before Sahoor
