Here are a few golden rules to consider.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Pre\/Post Iftar:<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is no correct answer when it comes to when you should get your workout done. Some people believe that before iftar is the best time, while others opt for a post-iftar workout. In reality, this depends on your body and your own preferences. You can also mix and match your timings!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Moderate your intensity:<br \/>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_124484182-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_124484182-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_124484182-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_124484182.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/> \u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is especially true if you are exercising pre-iftar, as your body has not yet refueled. You can still get a good workout in with lower intensity, but if you are looking for a high intensity regimen, then perhaps a workout after iftar would suit you better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Eat healthy and light:<br \/>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1076119751-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1076119751-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1076119751-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1076119751.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s hard not to indulge, especially after a long day of fasting but eating healthy and light meals during Ramadan is the best thing you can do for your body, even if you are not exercising!<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Stay hydrated:<br \/>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3255\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_257387209-533x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_257387209-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_257387209-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_257387209.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nStaying hydrated after iftar is very important, especially if you\u2019re exercising. Water, cold beverages and healthy drinks are all great options \u2013 stay away from sodas or caffeinated drinks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Give your body time:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you are choosing to exercise after iftar, then give your body ample time to digest the meal you just had before hitting the gym.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Timing:<br \/>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_44936728-468x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_44936728-468x400.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_44936728-768x656.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_44936728.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nExperts recommend that you actually cut your workout a little shorter \u2013 keeping it between 45 minutes to one hour.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/en\/rent\/properties-for-rent.html\"><strong>Click here to find properties for rent in Qatar\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was published on May 15th, 2019 &nbsp; Keeping up with your fitness routine can seem a little challenging &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3252,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["en","ar"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"ar":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3249"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3249"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3249\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3356,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3249\/revisions\/3356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
