5 Tips for strength trainees in Ramadan

  • Wake up later during Ramadan to reduce the number of fasting hours.
  • Stick to a consistent eating and training schedule for easier body adaptation and reduced hunger spikes.
  • Choose a suitable fasting schedule: late waking (regular fasting diet), early waking (double fasting cycles), or siesta variant (mid-day sleep).
  • Prepare mentally for Ramadan by staying occupied and establishing routine habits to ease the fasting process.
  • Try to avoid fasted workouts; if necessary, ensure to eat light meals before training to prevent energy crashes.
  • Remember, the goal of Ramadan is not hardship but ease, and fasting should not put your health at risk.
