Ramadan is an important month for Muslims worldwide, which involves fasting from sunrise to sunset. During this time, many Muslims may find it challenging to maintain their regular fitness routine. However, exercising before iftar, the meal that breaks the fast at sunset, can have many benefits for retaining muscle mass. Fitlov, understands the importance of exercise and its certified trainers have experience tailoring fitness plans to meet the unique needs of each client, including those who observe Ramadan.

A question that we get asked a lot before Ramadan starts is, “Can I exercise during Ramdan?” The answer is yes! We can help you develop a fitness plan that works for you during this holy month.

Here are some reasons why exercising two hours before iftar is a healthy way to retain muscle mass during Ramadan:

Maintains Muscle Mass: Exercising before iftar helps to maintain muscle mass. During fasting, the body relies on stored fat as an energy source, but it can also break down muscle protein for energy if there is a lack of nutrients. This can lead to muscle loss and a decrease in overall strength. However, exercising before iftar stimulates muscle growth and helps to preserve muscle mass, ensuring that you maintain your fitness level even during Ramadan.

Increases Metabolism: Exercise increases metabolism, which is the rate at which your body burns calories. During fasting, the body’s metabolism slows down to conserve energy. By exercising before iftar, you can increase your metabolism and burn more calories, which can help with weight loss and improve overall fitness.

Boosts Energy Levels: Many people may feel tired during fasting, especially towards the end of the day. However, exercise releases endorphins, which can help boost energy levels and reduce fatigue. This can help you feel more energized throughout the day and enable you to maintain your fitness routine even during Ramadan.
