going to gym during ramazan

[Tamara]

gym is great

Do you go to the gym during Ramadan?

[Saifullah]

I have a kind of mini-gym in my house, like the exercise machine (elliptical trainers) and i have bench, weights and so on....so its possible to do it in ramadan either 30 minutes before iftar or after

[JAMALUDEEN]

You guys care about your health so much, unlike me.

[Saifullah]

I prefer playing outdoor sports than going to gym.

Gym is boring.

play football is the ultimate work out

[JAMALUDEEN]

Didnt you say you work out a lot ?

Well, i prefer doing a sport like Kickboxing, or workout at home doing push ups, squats, jogging and a bit of weights on the side, but not full on gym work. I used to be very buff a few years back, and was the biggest gym junkie. But when i go to the gym now, i begin to yawn after a few sets of weights and leave.lol

I assume you go to those 24 hr ones, because the gym I go to is the University one. Anyways I go to workout for the mental factor as well. I have considered going an hour and half before ifthar. That gives me ample time to reach home, drink my shake, and prep a late meal (ease into studies).

ya, my gym is open 24 hours. i must admit its been tough so far, i do fairly high intensity training so being nutritionally depleted has made it difficult. i might have to modify my routine a bit to cope with the lower energy levels.

Ye I changed my workout a little during this month. I have gone a little lighter than before, and have not gone to Muay thai (it is too intense and I need that drink of water or gatorade in between). However, Ramadhan I am switching my workout and diet and going to focus more on core strength.

It is ok, it happens to everyone...maybe some other time.

[IamDZJ]

meh, didn't feel like it for some reason.

Ye it happens...sometimes I end up changing my schedule so I don`t fall into routine.

[JAMALUDEEN]

What about Ramadan? you do kickboxing in Ramazhan too?

Nope, i don't do kick boxing in Ramadan. I never train during Ramadan, it's not very healthy.

[BLS_1919v2.0]

I heard Ramadan cleans up your system.

Jamaludeen wror is right. In kickboxing, Muay thai and or MMA, doing basic technique drills are not a problem. However, the real cardio kicks in when your sparring, doing pad work or plyometric exercises (and core strength exercises)...those take a toll on the body and you need the gatorade or water. Without you might as well collapse or not train. I know of a few who can pull it off, but for me personally it is too hard.

I don't know how anyone who does weights can take a month off. I couldn't and haven't. I asked myself fasting or gym?

Gym won.
