How Fit Are You?
Salaam
Hadrat Ali (ra) said “Refresh your minds from time to time, for a tired mind becomes blind”.
Men AND women are in need of being active…we should keep our bodies as well as our mind and soul fresh, active and healthy.
And this cos of physical benefits as well as psychological benefits…
Between the ages of 9-12 I was in to bike riding…dad taught me how to ride a bike and would take me to the park all the time…In primary school I used to play basket ball for my school..(I wasn’t that good cos I was too short)…in high school I was involved in running and playing badminton…dad also got me involved in that too…Dad and me used to play badminton a lot, I become really good…. my college sometimes took us water rafting and stuff like that…
Playing sports always used to make me feel good...I was always involved in something. After college, I’ve done nothing…mainly because I don’t have the time, nor can I afford to join a gym which in my area all priced between £50-70 monthly…
So, are active are you? Are there any restrictions on the kinds of sports that a Muslim can get involved in?
The Holy Prophet ﷺ and his beloved wife Hadrat Aisha (ra) used to race together….
Of course modesty should at all times be implemented…for men AND women…so what exactly is it that we can or can’t do?
Obesity is a massive problem, particularly in the Asian community…its cos our diet which is full of oil and spices…it’s so important to look after yourself…
How important is it to keep your body fit and healthy? What are the benefits of doing so?

[quote="Judda"]Shabs I keep falling off my gym ball and each time I use it I feel dizzy :?[/quote]
Dizzy?
Are you not used to exercise?
Well...you're not using it properly. Make your lower back is fully supported. Relax. Don't let the ball move while you're using it either. And don't use it fast-go slow.

I'm ADDICTED to junk food
esp coke-cant live without that stuff
the day my teeth go bad or I start to gain weight is when I'll start stressing
people say don't they-that u can eat what u want when ur young and it wont matter
problems arise in ur mid 20's (thats when u begin to put on weight etc)

I am seriously unfit, teh problem with me is I work in season, in the summer i eat less and exercise more, winter i do nothing and eat loads, For the rest of the year i mix it up. Which isn't good for my body.
But it is a lifestyle question, because if you eating junk and are in a habit of eating it, it will catch up with you. It is best to get into the habit of eating bland food, in the long term it work best. Always carry a bottle of water with you. Also try to take in as much calories as you need for any 2-3 hours, thus avoiding big meals.

I was sitting in Nescafe Coffee shop with my sister today drinking a caramel cappuccino with three sugars and sharing a hot chocolate fudge cake with cream….and having a discussion on healthy eating.
I so badly need to become more fit…I only realised how unfit I was when I was running late for work a few days ago…I only ran up the road and was gasping for breath when I got in the school.
I don’t even know how to increase my physical stamina.
I don’t want to or need to lose weight…so I’m not sure if changing my eating habits will be the answer or if I should exercise…and I’m not sure what kind of exercise I should do….cos like I said. I don’t want to lose weight either.
How on Earth does a person increase their physical stamina? You know...do strenous stuff without getting breathless.
Or should I get myself checked out for Asthma? :?

im not sure.....i thought it ran in the family, all i know its been passed through my generation..
muslim sister you must be kidding! u havent been to see a GP for over 10 years...? just dont ever make a mistake of not seeing your GP.Even though theres nothing wrong, you should go for a regular check-up.I say this because my dad hadent been for a long time so therefore didnt have much of a record,when he got really ill the hosplitals couldnt figure out what was wrong...they checked his old records and realised he hadent had blood pressure check for years and years...he had high blood pressure and it caused his kidneys to shrink....and not work
so yes please do visit your GP a.s.a.p

I used to have bad teeth aches too...I'd just lie on the sofa all day. I really cant hack pain.
And I remember using clove oil for relief. Thats the one with the strong smell isnt it?
It really does work.

yea its got an awful smell......the oil is quite strong aswell, its best to dilute it i believe....once i used it undiluted and it caused my gums to swell.
its best for toothaches.
try fruit smoothie for breakfast... it really perks u up.... and u is less likely to fall to sleep in class.... avoid tuna, u can get mercury poisoning if u have it too often…. Try using dumbbells… eat more tomatoes it increases the number of little soldiers u have (hint, hint Ed)… avoid burgers they make u feel sluggish, try protein powder-that works.
Shabs I keep falling off my gym ball and each time I use it I feel dizzy :?
