A few weeks from now Ramadan will start. It's the ninth month in the Islamic calendar where Muslims have to fast. I have to refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset. Its aim is to focus more on worship (praying, charity, etc.) and teach us self-control. I normally eat 5-7 meals per day, but this wouldn't be possible.

• Do you think it's feasible to work out during this period? If yes, would that be after breaking fast or while actually fasting?
• Do you recommend anything to do in order to maintain what I had achieved?

Any advice would be appreciated .

Wonderful! Yes, I am surprised and pleased to hear that it's possible to make short-term gains.

I'm anxiously waiting for the article! Thank you very much .
