The Hajj Workout Plan

By Rehan Jalali

Exercise

Hajj is cardiovascular intensive so you must be in good physical shape. Continue to weight train as normal but for cardiovascular here is what I recommend:

• Take a brisk walk 4-5 days a week for 35-45 minutes wearing sandals a few times (preferably in the morning).

• Drink plenty of water and a cup of green tea before the walk (use 2-3 tea bags).
• Walk pretty fast.
• Once in a while, practice walking barefoot. I used to walk around barefoot in my backyard/patio
just to prepare.

Food

• Raw, dark honey (pure, unfiltered): take 1 tablespoon daily with breakfast.
• Dates: eat three-five dates daily as a snack.
• Almonds (unsalted): eat one handful of almonds as an afternoon snack daily.
• Sweet Potato: eat one medium daily or every other day if possible. Just microwave it plain and you can put cinnamon on it.
• Wild Blueberries: eat 1/2-one cup daily as a snack.
• Apple: eat one apple dail.
• Broccoli: eat 1 serving (1 cup) daily with dinner.
• Spinach: one serving daily.

Supplements

• Vitamin C tablets: Take 1 or 2 daily to strengthen your immune system.
That should get you physically ready, and help you be healthy and strong to maximize ibadat at Hajj!
