00:00Hi guys, I'm Jason Young and I'm a coach here at GymNation.
00:11And today I'm going to give you five great exercises to do during the month of Ramadan
00:15during fasting.
00:16So the first exercise is the barbell squat, which is a great compound movement for the
00:19legs.
00:20It's a weight that you can comfortably press 8-12 times for three sets.
00:45The next exercise is for the core, and it's the plank.
00:49And it's a perfect all-round core exercise.
00:52And it's best to be done in intervals, I think.
00:54What I would do is four sets of each plank.
00:57For the beginners, maybe 15-20 seconds on, 40 seconds recovery.
01:02For intermediate, 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off.
01:06And for advanced, maybe 45 seconds on, 15 seconds off, four sets off.
01:11First thing you want to make sure is that your elbow is in line with the shoulder.
01:16It's up to you what you do with your hands, whether you hold your hands there, make a
01:18fist or hold them flat.
01:21Feet shoulder width apart, squeezing the glutes, straightening the legs, and trying to maintain
01:28that straight line.
01:29So you don't want to be down here, but at the same time you don't want to be too high.
01:33So just hold in that position for your designated time.
01:41So the next exercise is another classic compound exercise, and it's the barbell bench press.
01:46I recommend that you lift a weight that you can comfortably lift three sets of 8-12 reps.
02:04So the next exercise is another classic compound movement, but it's a pull one, okay, and it's
02:10the barbell bent over row.
02:11Again, you want to be lifting a weight that you can comfortably lift three sets of 8-12
02:15reps of.
02:16For cardio, a great exercise, a great full body exercise is rowing, which I would do
02:35low to medium intensity for around 30 minutes.
02:47Okay.
