Fasting & Fitness: 5 Tips from FitnGlam Experts for a Balanced Fitness Routine

Dubai, UAE, 13th March 2024: As the sacred month of Ramadan is here, many embark on a journey of spiritual reflection, fasting, and devotion. For many, maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle during this period can be challenging. However, the region’s leading women’s only superclub, FitnGlam’s dedicated fitness experts are here to share essential tips to better your mental and physical well-being throughout this holy month.

10 Minutes a Day

It only takes 10-minutes to set the tone of the day. Engage in gentle stretching or a quick low-intensity exercise of your choice to wake up your body and prepare for the day ahead. Moving your body makes you feel more energised for the day's fasting.

Hydration is Key

Fasting during daylight hours can indeed be challenging, which makes it crucial to prioritise hydration during non-fasting hours. Opting for water-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables aids in maintaining hydration levels. For individualised nutritional plans, check out FitnGlam’s fitness professionals for personalised guidance and support to help with your diet.

Smart Scheduling

Plan your workouts strategically around your fasting and mealtimes. Schedule your workouts in the evenings after breaking your fast when your energy levels are higher and adjust according to your body’s needs to maximise performance.

Focus on Strength and Flexibility

Break a sweat without breaking your back by incorporating strength training and flexibility exercises into your routine. Instead of body weight exercises, try one of FitnGlam’s various yoga classes or Pilates which are great options to enhance your overall body movement and blood flow.

Be Gentle with Yourself

Lastly, be gentle with your mind and body this Ramadan. Prioritise rest and recovery by listening to your body's signals and give yourself permission to take it easy on days when you're feeling exhausted. Rejuvenate your mind and body using FitnGlam’s pampering amenities, from the sauna and steam room to massage therapy for muscle relaxation.

FitnGlam remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering women to prioritise their health and wellness. With tailored Ramadan schedules and expert guidance from personal trainers and fitness instructors, FitnGlam ensures that every woman can maintain her fitness journey and be guided towards a healthier and happier lifestyle year-round.
