Ramadan 2016: Fustany and CrossFit Stars Challenge You This Ramadan - Week 1

Ramadan 2016 is finally here, and it’s the perfect opportunity to actually make a change! Make Ramadan 2016 a turning point in your life by starting a fitness challenge. We collaborated with one of the top fitness providers in Cairo, CrossFit Stars, to bring you specially tailored workouts for Ramadan to help you lose weight and stay healthy and fit during the holy month of Ramadan.

During Ramadan, we’ll be posting  a new workout for you every week. If you follow the instructions Coach Ezzat of Crossfit Stars provided us with, you can  guarantee a healthy and energetic body during Ramadan.

Let’s start with the first workout plan for the first week in Ramadan 2016:

- 30 seconds of running in place (High knees) then you rest for 30 seconds. (Repeat 10 times).

- Take a five minute break.

- 30 seconds of jumping jacks + 30 seconds of squats and then you rest for 30 seconds. (Repeat 10 times)

- Take a five minute break.

- 20 seconds of sit-ups and rest for 10 seconds. (Repeat eight times).

The workout tips and tricks:

1.  After you’ve completed your workout, make sure you stretch. All of your muscles have been contracted from the workouts and they need to be stretched back out and rebuilt

2. For either the body weight squats or lunges, if you can’t do them properly yet, it’s okay to put your hands on a support to keep your balance.

3.  For the body weight squats, think of it like you're sitting back into a chair. If you can sit down onto a chair, and then stand immediately right back up without having to lean forward, you are in balance.

LADIES! Make sure to send us your progress stories through the month of Ramadan, and how this challenge helped you stay fit or lose weight during Ramadan.
