    thank's for the reply!

    Ramdan mubarak to you to


    Good choice Shanighias but don't go to Heavy on Sahoor like eat normal or a little less


    as for your excerises i dont know michaels body what ever xD

    but i do know P90x i'd love to do it but i can't because it requires pull ups chin ups and i can't do those X_X and dimond "military push ups " cant do those too :P

    There are a lot of ways to do modified exercises for those exercises you mentioned. Youtube or even the DVDs themselves will give u clues. I personally can't don pull ups or chin ups yet, so they showed me a way to do it using the assistance of a chair (you still get the same muscles going). With the diamond push ups you just need to make your diamond wider as in don't have the hands touching the farther apart they are the easier it gets.

    I definitely would recommend P90x to anyone just based on the results I'm seeing so far (only been 3 weeks). I can feel some muscles I forgot I even had.

    yes p90x is great work out....but before starting p90x I want to be more fit so I can keep up with Tony Horton :) after completing body revolution I will start power 90 and in Nov/Dec InsHALLah i will start p90x!!!!!

    I'd faint going 16 hours & being awake without food & then I'd want to stuff my face when I could eat... how the hell does anyone manage that :|

    Self-control and the large amount of time spent praying (if one does). But it's a lot easier than you think. Mind over matter.

    Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters,

    I've personally been prepping for training jut before ifthari in Shaban, I.e no water during weight training and eating just after Magrib. I also fasted a couple of times to test how I would feel if I was fasting for a period of time. I kind of concluded that it's possible to train just before ifthar, say about 90 mins before. But I definitely feel its helped that I've conditioned for it. Today is my first work out during this Ramadan but unfortunately the gym closes at 8pm, with ifthar around 9.30, meaning I'll be in the gym at 6.30, and out before 8, leaving 90 mins before the fast opens. I think I can manage it, lol I'll post back after I've trained.

    Ps Ramadan Mubarak to everyone

    Salaam,

    I just want to applaud everyone for carrying on with lifting weights even in Ramadhan. I haven't started lifting yet (I desperately want to, need to). I've just decided to do home workouts at the moment (alternating JM's 30DS, Ri30, NMTZ and BFBM) and I've decided to do them either right before the pre-dawn meal or right before breaking fast. I've never really exercised before until a few months ago so in terms of physical ability, I'm very interested in seeing how my body responds to fasting and exercising.

    Also, it is very nice to know that there's a Muslim community here on MFP because I can make use of these tips and suggestions for next year, insyaaAllah.

    Have a blessed Ramadhan. :)

    I'm counting it as a new day

    however so long as you're consistent, i.e. sticking to the same each time, it doesn't matter which you do

    Ramadan Mubarak!

    Things I am doing regarding w/o in Ramadan:
    1. Reduce the time and intensity of your w/o (I am only doing 1hr/day vs typical 2-3 hrs)
    2. W/o either after suhoor, immediately b4 iftar, or a few hrs after iftar (personally I do my cardio 1 hr b4 iftar so I can rehydrate immediately afterwards - and gives me time after iftar for taraweeh)
    3. Drink lots of water during non-fasting hours

    Some websites I found had helpful info:

    Good luck to everyone! Especially good luck resisting the desert table after a day of fasting :)

    So far I have not really worked out while fasting. Yesterday I went for a 15 minute walk after iftar. Today I did 10 minutes of a cardio dvd around midnight.

    I do miss working out, but I have no energy at all while fasting. From today onward I plan to do a 30 minute walk after iftan and a 30 minute Jillian Michaels video around 10pm. Wish me luck!

    Hi (:
    I'm 14 and I live in Belgium, and I'm also fasting.
    In Belgium, we fast for like 18 hours :(
    Around 4 am we stop eating and at almost 10 pm we can eat again.
    I work out for 2-3 hours a day:
    - I run 30 min.
    - crosstrainer for 30 min.
    - pilates 20-30 min.
    - weight lifting 10-20 min.
    - strenght training for 45 min.
    - Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, that takes almost 30 min.
    So that's 2h45min-3hours of working out.
    I'm on a diet and I eat healty, but I don't lose weight :o
    I gained like 3 kilos (that's 6.6 pounds) during these 2 weeks :(

    I work out while fasting. I'm accustomed to cardio without water actually I literally only need a sip from a water from the fountain after. It's not easy and I cant work out everyday like I do in non - Ramadan days
