Tips for Safe Exercise after Sahur
Sahur is one of the most important activities during the fasting month. The reason is sahur is an activity of eating before carrying out fasting. After sahur and performing a series of worship services, you should exercise to keep your body fresh. However, not all exercises are safe to do after sahur. Given the condition of the body needs to be maintained in order to remain strong undergoing fasting activities all day. After sahur and worship, here are safe exercise tips that you can do:
1. Make Sure Your Body is Hydrated
The main thing that needs to be ensured is that the body is well hydrated, considering that you have to fast after exercise. Fill your body with good fluids at dawn, so that after exercise you don't feel weak due to dehydration. Avoid drinks that are too sweet, so that after exercise it does not cause excessive thirst.
2. Don't Get Too Full
According to Dr. Rizal Fadli quoted from Halodoc, exercise with a stomach that is too full results in stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Give a time gap from a full stomach to exercise time. Do not force exercise if the stomach is too full.
3. Choose a Light Exercise
For those of you who have a bicycle at home, cycling can be an option for exercise. No need to go too fast, cycle at a slow and relaxed rhythm. Avoid difficult terrain such as climbs so as not to pump out excessive sweat. Leisurely walking can also be a very easy option to do. You don't need any special equipment, you can just take a leisurely stroll outside your home. In addition to a refreshed body, you can also enjoy the fresh and quiet streets in the morning.
4. Exercise with a Short Time
Exercise after sahur has an intensity that is light, relaxed, and does not consume excess energy. Set a short time for your workout. No need to exercise for a long time, just 10-30 minutes.
5. Watch Your Sweat
Another important thing is to make sure you don't sweat too much. Without realizing it if you are too excited, the intensity of exercise that was originally light and relaxed can also drain sweat. Sweat that comes out of the body, needs fluid replacement. As a result, the body can become dehydrated while fasting all day.
Exercise after sahur can increase productivity in carrying out daily activities. In addition to helping the body to be fitter in the holy month, the body is more energized and the mind is clearer. But keep in mind, that after exercising you have to fast all day. Manage the time and type of exercise after sahur wisely.
