Ramadan starts Monday 1 August and I have heard that here on Cocos all exercise stops. Although I haven't developed an exercise program around Ramadan this year (I am working on something for next year: pre, during and post Ramadan), it is possible to exercise.Some points:
- Retain muscle mass and avoid putting on fat
- Exercise late in the day, about an hour or two before sunset, so that you can replenish your body
- Work on maintaining strength and flexibility
- Work on any remedial exercises to correct imbalances
- Work at a lower level than you would normally (reduce number of sets, or number of reps, or the weight you would normally lift)
- Eat well, keep a healthy balance in your night-time and pre-dawn meals
- Eat calorie (energy) rich food to make sure you eat enough
- Nap during the day to alleviate fatigue
