Hello I am a muslim. I would like to know are they any muslims here who are going to be fasting. the fast where i live is for 21 hours or 22 not sure sorry hours no food or drink for 22 hours I dont mind it the only thing I will miss is the GYM. I dont know how I will manage to go to the GYM. I was wondering how would you reccomend me going to the gym. here are the times the fast starts and the fast ends.

    I am sure if you found a Muslim group here, there would be posts regarding Ramadan in the message boards. ;]

    I personally would suggest that you work out after you have your suhoor, or meal before sunrise, if you do. You shouldn't exert yourself excessively while you are fasting.

    I'm not muslim but I do want to participate in Ramadan to gain patience, appreciation and discipline :). I'm just nervous about no water. I'm prone to passing out and I don't think my job would appreciate it lol.

    I was just going to post the exact same topic as you!

    I've been worrying that fasting will actually make me gain weight or stay at current weight for the month of Ramadhan.

    Happy Ramadan to you,

    Yes I'm fasting. Nutritionists and doctors both recommend exercising while fasting, just not rigorous exercise that requires drinking water afterwards. I advise you to continue going to the gym but don't be hard on yourself :)

    There's a website that talks about ramadan diet and fitness if you're interested but I don't have the url with me, search it its "trying to be fahad".

    i've borned muslim and i live in a muslim country but i think fasting is not healthy at all.

    Look up 'intermittent fasting'. Research has shown 14-18 hour fasts are actually very healthy for your body.

    In reply to original topic, yes I am a muslim and going to be fasting from tomorrow and also working out DURING the fast. I am in a bulking phase, having reached my original goal weight 2 months ago so I mostly just do heavy compound weights (Squats, Deadlifts, Bench, etc). I plan on working out right before breaking the fast.

    edit- You should probably take it easy with the exercise. Make sure to load up with carbs the day before you exercise (Suhoor time would be good for that). And drink PLENTY of water if your fast lasts 20+ hours.

    U should not gain any more weight than normal fasting does not slow down the motablisim if u are eating the same ammounf of callories than you should be fine its callorie in vs callories out
    I am going to also before iftar go for a walk like 30 minutes before slow walk outside time passes and also its good for me to burn some fat it will be like doing cardio fasted burn more fat im thinking of doing this twice a week

    brother does dehydration not cause the person to lose strength and focus I mean I try to stay hydrated throughout my workout u can cramp up and u need water during the workout because u will be sweating would it not be better to do it after the fast opens

    I am also a Muslim and I am fasting during the month of Ramadhan. I break my fast with a meal, most of the time Indian, and some American food. I have a cup of chai (typically Indian) with a small dessert.
    I drink at least 5 glasses of water throughout my meal and then drink some later on in the evening.

    I eat something before I go to bed at around 2 o'clock and am fine throughout the rest of the day for the most part. :)
    I don't know why, but I still feel fat even though I'm not eating much. :(

    maybe u feel bloated water and food at the same time can make u fell bloated but theres no choice because the window to eat is short i try to drink 2 litres water at 2 am and then 2 litres when i break my fast which is 9.40 or so

    Salam everyone...
    I'm a muslim and I'm also fasting... I eat when its Iftar time and before going to sleep. I fast about 18 hours i think... When its time to eat I always drink plenty of water or juice so I cant eat so much after that....
    Ramadan Mubarak
