Maintain Muscle Mass Roadhamas 2024

ROADHAMAS starts on Mon 11 March. Our focus this month is to assess changes to body fat percentage from fasting. We therefore dedicate Roadhamas to finding out if we gain or loose fat during the fasting month. We loose muscle mass when we stop exercising!

Therefore, most members continue gym during this month, and only a few drop out! Roadhamas is a month to maintain fitness. Exercise intensity is controlled to ensure muscle mass is not lost.

We eat more fatty foods in Roadhamas. The trend therefore is to get active. Parks are lit up for outdoor sports and exercise at night. Gyms are open from 3 pm till late into the night.

Some members prefer a pre-breakfast workout, while others like to come in after a light breakfast. Late night gym visits are usually after 9 pm (post-Tharavees)

GAIN OR LOOSE FAT. We measure fat percentage at the start and end of Roadhamas. We wish to find out if you lost or gained fat during this month.

You can come in to do a free pre-exercise screening and a fitness test. Our Certified Trainers will give you an accurate assessment of what intensity you must maintain your workout during this month.

Reducing fat mass and developing muscle mass is necessary to maintain good health. Roadhamas is also a good time to start gym.

MAINTENANCE MONTH
For most serious gym goers, Roadhamas is a maintenance month. That is, to ensure you do not loose muscle mass.

Five Weeks of Fasting. Roadhamas runs from 11 March through to 9 April with Fitr Eid predicted to fall on Wed 10 April. Ha-Roadha extend up to end of the following Tue 16 April. This is five solid weeks of fasting and exercise. We will resume normal hours from Wed 17 April.
