How many people will actually be excersing or working out in Ramzaan. Is it hard on some people, specially for someone who is running 2-3 miles 2 or 3 times a week or lifting heavy weights. Should be people completely stop exercising or should they mellow down a little?
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
well somehow relevant, but just went to msn-arabia (automatic redirect after signing off from hotmail), and the poll there said "how many times do u excercise in a week", and 53% almost said "NEVER" (including me)....
i think that percentage will rise higher in ramadhan....
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
I still exercise during Ramadan, it is harder just bcos i don't have as much energy...my problem is that i get dehydrated really quickly, even when not fasting...so, i try to exercise early in the fast or ideally after Aftari time...i think if u can keep doing it, then that's good...i know some athletes who still participate in their sports during this month, but not everyone can do that...i think naturally, most ppl probably have to reduce it a little, u know how much u can do...just shudn't push urself too far...
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
ok leme put it straight !!!!!
HEY LOOK ! I CAN RUN 2-3 MILES NON-STOP and yess i dont even need no gatorade or any drink during running AND AFTER TRACK I LIFT HEAVY WEIGHTS REALY REALLY HEAVY .. NOT A SINGLE GUPAN ON GS CAN LIFT THEM !!!

Re: Working out in Ramzaan
I will only be doing maintenance exercise in the evenings after Iftar at home. No thai kick boxing or any cardio for me during the next month. :( I usually drink a lot of water while working out so I can't do it at all during Ramadan. That's why I will be doing light maintenance exercises only.
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
Yea, no runningpour moi :( Unless I decide to go after iftari.
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
I asked this personal trainer(hez a muslim too) regarding the same issue and he told me that i should open fast with something light i.e. not have proper dinner and then wait for an hr or so and then work out and after work out take the proper meal… i hope this helps!!!
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
hmm i might to weights once a week just to keep it all tight :p
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
go walkin after taravees... and dont eat typical iftari stuff .. go straight for dinner...
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
I used to work-out for half an hour after coming home from Tarawih. So I'd cut down on my exercises, but would not completely stop them.
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
I will probably cut down on the weightlifting by 25%, and probably wouldn't run, but I will keep playing cricket which should cover the cardio section of my workout.
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
I’ll continue my regular routines. Ramzaan or his hindu brother Ramdaan will not deter me from my daily workout. Bas!
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
Ive been wondering this same issue recently. Last year i used to workout right before sehri, though some people say its not good to workout in the morning, no idea how solid an idea that is.
Thinking of doing workout after , or right before iftari this time.
Lets see....
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
dude i play a 40 over one day league match during rooza aight .. so nothing new really n besides who wana know wat u plan to do the first place ?
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
Its a well known fact that should never eat immediatly after working out. So it pretty much rules out eating between Iftaar and dinner. Since the time span between iftaar and dinner is 2 hours.
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
By playing in a 40 over one day league match, do you mean keeping the scores for your team. 
In that case, roza shouldn’t be a problem.
Re: Working out in Ramzaan
Almost all people ive seen recommend a protein shake after a workout, more or less immediately.
