Fasting But Don’t Want To Miss Your Exercise? Use These 3 Best Times To Do It

Fasting should not be an obstacle for anyone to keep on exercising in order to keep your body fit. Exercising while fasting can also be an opportunity for you to burn more calories so you can lose weight. Of course, this is a positive thing. However, it is best not to exercise carelessly during the fasting month. You should pay attention to the time and intensity of exercise while fasting so that the exercise does not interfere with your fast or cause dehydration.

Exercise with an empty stomach and while thirsty can have a detrimental effect on your health. This can make you feel very tired, dizzy, or even lead to dehydration. In addition, heavy exercise during fasting can also cause muscle damage and can also increase stress hormones such as cortisol hormones in the body. To prevent this, you should be wise to find the right time to exercise during the fasting month.

These are 3 times that are best for exercise during Ramadan:

1) Before Breaking Fast

During fasting, you can exercise a moment before you break your fast to burn more fat. Of course, this is beneficial for those of you who want to lose weight while fasting. Doing sports on an empty stomach can help you in getting rid of more fat. Once you exercise with using your remaining energy, you can eat during breaking fast to replace lost energy. Exercising before breaking the fast may be a good time. You probably don’t have to worry about having low blood sugar levels or dehydration. But please remember, don’t force yourself to do excessive sports to burn more fat. You are still in a state of fasting with little energy left. Therefore, the exercise you do should be limited, no more than 60 minutes. Don’t get sick, feel tired, and dizzy after exercising.

2) After Breaking Fast

This is actually the best time for you to exercise while fasting. You can exercise for two to three hours after breaking fast. Wait until your food is digested by the body until you get the energy to exercise. Because you are already eating and filling your body with energy, you can do any type of exercise you want at the moment, from light to heavy intensity, including exercises to increase strength and muscle mass.

3) After Sahur

After sahur, you can also do exercise. Your body has received energy from the food you eat during sahur. You can do exercise at this time. However, it is best that the exercise is a sport with light intensity. Sports after sahur is good to do to keep the body fit during the month of Ramadan. But please remember, you need to provide energy to do your next activity until breaking fast. Therefore, do not do excessive exercise at this time.
