The month of Ramadan is the perfect time for us to DO MORE in every aspect of life, from increasing acts of worship, reconnecting with relatives we rarely meet, to even planning workout routines so you can stay energized all day long!

Speaking of exercise, during Ramadan you can actually still maximize your time to stay fit, as long as your workout routine is adjusted to your fasting habits. Curious about what types of workouts you can do and the benefits you’ll get? Make sure to read this article until the end!

1. Light Jogging or Casual Cycling After Breaking the Fast

After a full day of fasting, your body needs time to regain energy. Light jogging or casual cycling for around 20 minutes can help your body become active again without making you feel weak. These two types of exercise are also effective for burning calories from iftar meals so they don’t pile up and turn into fat.

One important thing to note, don’t jump straight into intense exercise right after eating! Wait about 30–60 minutes after breaking the fast so your digestion isn’t shocked. Choose a comfortable and not-too-challenging route so your body can enjoy moving without feeling overworked.

2. Light Workout After Suhoor

If you don’t have time to work out at night, a light workout after suhoor can be a great solution! Movements like squats, push-ups, planks, or lunges (3 sets of 10 reps) are enough to maintain muscle strength without making your body too tired to fast throughout the day. This type of exercise also helps boost your metabolism, keeping your body fresh even while fasting.

For more comfort, do your workout about 15–20 minutes after eating suhoor. Focus on body weight exercises without heavy loads so your energy stays stable throughout the day. With a regular morning workout, you can stay active without worrying about feeling drained during fasting.

3. Leisurely Walk Before Breaking the Fast

As iftar time approaches, your body usually starts to feel weak and low on energy. A leisurely walk can be a safe exercise option without causing excessive thirst. With a duration of 30–45 minutes, walking can help improve blood circulation and reduce stiffness from being inactive all day.

Plus, walking can help you relax and double as ngabuburit (pre-iftar hangout), killing time before breaking the fast, maybe while buying snacks, so iftar feels like it comes faster. Try walking in a park or around your neighborhood while listening to music, your favorite podcast, or chatting casually with friends. Guaranteed to be more fun and not feel tiring!

Most importantly, always listen to your body. If you feel extremely weak, it’s better to rest than to push yourself.
