With Ramadan in full swing, Muslims around the world are observing rozas (fasts). While fasting holds deep religious significance, going without food for hours can leave you feeling low on energy. So, how do you stay active during this time? Don't worry – celebrity fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala has got you covered. In her latest Instagram post, Yasmin shared her “secret to working out during Ramadan,” something she has been practising for the last 30 years.
According to Yasmin Karachiwala, here is the best way to stay fit while fasting:
1. Pilates or yoga can be done anytime during the day.
2. Cardio is best just before iftar (the meal after sunset).
3. Strength or functional training works best one to two hours after iftar
In her caption, Yasmin Karachiwala writes, “The key to staying active during Ramadan? Tune into your energy. I pick one workout a day, making sure it complements my fast instead of exhausting me. Small steps, big impact!”
