How To Burn Calories In Ramadan Without Necessarily Exercising
By Amal Al Toaimi

Yes, you read that right! I know most of you are thinking it is impossible, but trust me when there is a will there is a way. Most people complain about how busy their lives are and that they have no time for gym, well guess what….you don’t really need a gym!


During Ramadan most females, specifically speaking, are caught up with cooking for Iftar and this can be one of the major areas where they can actually burn calories.

I’ve come up with at least 10 active ways you can burn calories in any event or situation whether its in Ramadan or not. These points should help you in becoming more active without the need of having a gym membership!

1. Redecorate

Move things around your living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc.

2. Use commercials as a break to get up and move

You can do jumping jacks for a minute or more, or you can just simply just walk around your living room.
