RIYADH: Whether you’re a newcomer to the gym or a veteran, Ramadan is a time when everyone needs to reassess their workout regime: from calorie intake to the intensity of your exercise, from rep range to cardio zones, everything is up for alteration during the holy month.
One of the main priorities when it comes to maximizing training in general is to allow for muscle recovery through rest and sleep, which is why Calo, a Bahraini food and health startup, recommends prioritizing sahoor and sufficient rest; both of which will aid in physical recovery for the following day.

Gym hours also differ during Ramadan. A GymTech representative told Arab News: “The highest attendance is usually in the late evening hours, mostly starting from 9 p.m.”
A representative from The Pilates Studio also spoke to Arab News and said its members are both “calmer and fitter” during Ramadan.
