KUALA LUMPUR – Fasting during Ramadan will definitely make one to easily feel lethargic, hungry and sleepy, but it is not an excuse to not exercise.
As such, the question of choosing food is very important to ensure the body gets all the necessary nutrients, thus helping to maintain fitness during the fasting period.
