    If that is the only timing you have then go for it.
    Just watch out on your hydration / activity levels - where I live we get easily at the moment to more than 50*C hence the choice for a lot of fasting lifters to keep it close to 7.11 PM!!

    Thank you.

    Yes, I get minimum 13 glasses of water a day (8 of them are at Sehri), my post-workout showers are COLD lol, and if I see I get dizzy or too much dehydrated, then I skip a few things. So far for many days I've been able to do at least 1 hour of cycling, and only 1-2 days I have been feeling down and made only 35 minutes. It's torture during fasting, but the results have been faster and amazing! Even my husband says that if I lose any more weight I'm gonna get deleted lol!

    But anyways, that's not why we are fasting, we are fasting to understand how poor feel like and make us humble and charitable, that's why I'm not giving up on my workout. Pain is good. ;)

    Same principle as intermittent fasting with the exception of the drinking / aminos during the fasting window.
    It is all a matter of getting used to it and eventually it will become a routine, your body and mind need to get used to it!

    Yes, you are absolutely right.

    And me, saluting you too, ignore the person who said 'scary'! Most people (Muslims, atheists, whatever) live life in moderation and with love and respect for all, whatever creed you subscribe to.

    FYI I'm Jewish though not observant, love that you guys have such great community spirit and tips - even a Yom Kippur fast was always hard for me so I salute you for your efforts and wish you all the best :)

    I would simply ignore the person that said scary, they're obviously just trying to cause issues. We all have our own beliefs, what matters is living peacefully and respectfully.

    Good luck to you in your time of fasting, hope you can manage a good balance for a workout ^_^

    Agreed...I'm an atheist, but I figure whatever it is that gets you through the night is absolutely fine by me...It sounds like you are holding up well and have such a bright and positive outlook on your fast. I admire positive people of all walks... :)
