4. Don’t skip your exercise routine If you are into regular exercise, don’t stop it just because you are observing fast. This will not only reduce the regular flow of energy to your body but will also make you feel sluggish. Instead, if you are into heavy workouts, reduce the intensity. Remember, your body maintains a muscle mass only as long as you keep giving it instructions through regular workouts. Stopping them will increase the mass and make you feel heavier. Carbohydrates help you work out with increased intensity. During Ramadan, your carb levels deplete and therefore, it is natural to reduce your workout intensity and take it slow. Include some amount of carbohydrate during your Suhoor to give you the required energy at the time of the workout. If you are into a regular high-intensity workout or taking Ramadan as an opportunity to start a work out; try and do your exercise just before the Iftar. It will help you compensate for the lost energy and water requirement post-exercise. Avoid exercising immediately after Iftar meal. The entire blood flow at that time is concentrated on your stomach and hence, is not advised.
