Q: mike in response to question 1788, I beleive the young man was a muslim. Many of us who love to workout and go to the gym, as you may know will not be able to eat OR drink for the majority of the day, so our blood sugar will be low and we'll be tired. what kind of training program can you recommend for us to do to hold on to what we've earned over the year? keep up the great site!!

A: Check out http://www.mikesfitness.com/content/lose-weight-during-ramadan and also http://www.mikesfitness.com/content/losing-muscle-during-ramadan . By having to fast during the day you won't be in optimal shape to do much physical activity and certainly not to build muscle or strength. So the goal should be on maintaining what you have as much as possible, both weight-wise and muscle-wise.
