  3. Wean Off Smoking
      • Reduce puffing out smokes even before ramadan start.
      • Ramadan tends to make you exercise less.
      • Continuing smoking will take a toll on your stamina.
      • Take this chance to improve your health by stop smoking altogether.

  4. Walk Everywhere
      • Ever notice that you tend to cut down exercises in the holy month?
      • Replace all that with simple actions like walking to the mosque for tarawih or parking further away from your office.
      • Just with few minutes of brisk walking, you can improve blood circulation and make the heart stronger.

  5. Exercise regularly
        • Don’t let the holy month deters you from exercising.
        • You CAN exercise during Ramadan.
        • Night should be reserved for all weight lifting exercise.
        • During the day, 30 minutes of low intensity cardio exercise before iftar should already be sufficient.
