Hi everyone, the month of Ramadan is fast approaching and this is the perfect time to make significant changes to your lifestyle. I want you to have a fit & healthy Ramadan. So I’ve created a 28-DAY EXERCISE PLAN to guide you through.
Fasting during the month of Ramadan is a perfect time to reset your mind and body, to really start understanding your relationship with your body and to appreciate the food you’ve been blessed with.
You can also start to slowly adjust your workout routine and also workout time to how you plan to workout during the month of Ramadan. So let this month be the month where you focus on your wellbeing not just physically but mentally and spiritually as well.
Follow the workout plan. Print them out. Share your daily progress with me Tag me @JoannaSohOfficial and #FitterFasting.

Ramadan should not be an excuse for you to stop exercising. In fact, you should continue your regular exercises and keep them between 30 – 45 minutes with slightly lower intensity. The best time to workout is after the evening prayer before dinner or before suhoor.
Let this month of Ramadan be the start to a healthier you by creating positive habits. Lots of Love & Happy Ramadan!
