Ramadan Kareem ☪️
As we approach the final days of Ramadan we’re looking back at the importance of listening to your body’s rhythm. Staying active during the Holy Month is about harmony, not hustle.
At Relieve, our goal is to ensure your physical activity enhances your well-being, allowing you to move with purpose while respecting your body’s needs.
Here are 3 tips to keep your performance steady:
1️⃣ Strategic Timing: Listen to your body’s natural rhythm. The optimal times to move are one hour before Iftar for low intensity training, or two hours after Iftar for strength training. Avoid high-impact exercise during peak heat hours since intense training in the heat accelerates dehydration, raising the chance of injury.
2️⃣ Prioritize Active Recovery: Movement is your best recovery tool. Replace one high-intensity session per week with a 30-minute mobility flow. Gentle dynamic stretching boost circulation, preventing stiffness and maintaining movement quality.
3️⃣ Focus on Maintenance, Not Peaks: This season is about consistency, not hitting new personal bests. Reduce your workload to 60–70% of your usual intensity. High-volume training while fasting increases cortisol and the risk of tendon inflammation. Prioritize form over weight to prevent stress on your joints.
