Most Important 5 Tips For Staying in Shape During Ramadan

Ramadan is a special month of the year for over one billion Muslims throughout the world. It is a time for inner reflection, devotion to God, and self-control. With Ramadan just round the corner, Muslim bodybuilders are scrambling to number out how they will sustain their gains during the month. 

The month needs Muslims to abstain from food, drink, sex and a number of other behavioral customs. Abstaining from nourishment and drink is what becomes a pain issue for bodybuilders. Shredded Knowledge’s best 5 tips for staying in form during Ramadan will help alleviate the trials one may be faced with. 

Keep exercising.

Don’t use Ramadan as an excuse to have an extraordinarily long de-load period. Try exercising either just after suhoor (your first meal) or just after you break your fast. In either scenario you will have relatively higher levels of hydration and energy levels

Eat well.

Depending on your household, Ramadan is usually accompanied by fried foods and sweets. To make matters worse, portions are unusually large. The key here is still portion control.

  

Drink water. A lot of it. 

Try fitting 6-8 cups when you have your early morning meal, and another 6-8 cups after you break your fast in the evening. This will help keep you properly hydrated

 Brief workouts.  

Take a break from your longer workouts for the month. Keep your workouts brief, between 45 to 60 minutes. With your workouts now shortened, make every inch of movement matter

Get enough sleep.

With Ramadan being in the Summer, the time between your early morning meal and your iftar (break-fast) may only be 7-8 hours. If you can’t take advantage of that full 7-8 hours between meals, think about taking a power nap during the day. Energy levels will be low due to a lack of food, so you’ll need to leverage the energy you can get from sleep. This can then help drive your workouts
