Integrating Fitness and Ramadan Observance
Leana begins by highlighting her continued pursuit of maintaining fitness during Ramadan. At 4:13 PM on day 10 of Ramadan, she performs a 45-minute full-body workout adapted for fasting conditions, using her app Uplift You which offers Ramadan-specific exercise programs.
Key points about the exercise routine:
- Focus on reducing intensity by lowering reps and sets, aligning with the physical limits fasting imposes.
- Incorporates box squats, banded pull-ups, and circuits for balanced muscle engagement.
- Uses different resistance bands to adjust difficulty, starting with thinner bands for a harder challenge and moving to thicker bands for assistance during chin-ups.
This segment underscores how physical training is adapted during Ramadan, emphasizing energy conservation and mindful exertion rather than maximal effort—a consideration important for those balancing fitness and fasting.
