    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 :)

    Ramadan Mubarak!
    In Canada we are fasting from 4 am to 9pm about 17 hours.
    First 3 days gone without any issues.

    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!

    Ramadan Mubarak to everyone....
    I am also fasting ( about 18 hours) and I cant eat much... When its iftaar time I drink plenty of water or juice so I eat so little....
    May Allah bless you all and help you during Ramadan

    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
