EXERCISE DURING THE MONTH OF FASTING

It's a challenge for the fitness mania to exercise during the fasting month. It is no wonder so many people who decided to not exercise during the month of fasting. But in fact, a mild-intensity exercise can be done.

Here are some tips which I will share to you who still want to do the exercise during the month of fasting:

1. Select appropriate training time

Exercise when it was close to breaking time can be your choice, although it is usually the condition of the body feels weak, you are helped by the mental aspect because soon you'll be able to eat foods and beverages. Or if you can, you can exercise at night.

2. Because if you are not careful, you may be affected by dehydration.

Practising in the month of fasting is intended to maintain physical fitness. The important thing is not how hard you can practice,but how consistently you can practice during this fasting month.

3. Drink plenty of water when breaking.

This is to prevent dehydration. Dehydration is a condition whereby the body lacks of fluid and electrolyte that can decrease body functions

4. When breaking, consume sweet fruit or drink beverges that contain sugar.

Beverages containing carbohydrates and electrolytes is an excellent choice. You can eat complex carbohydrates after prayers.

Consume complex carbohydrates that can provide stamina, containing high fiber and do not cause a high insulin production as well. For example wheat, tubers, vegetables, brown rice. It is a good thing if you eat complex carbohydrates too at suhoor because it can provide energy all day without causing excessive production of insulin.

Hopefully  these tips can help you still exercising during the month of fasting. Happy fasting and stay fit and well.
