Exercise Details


Modified Jumping Jacks: Perform a low-impact version by stepping one leg out at a time instead of jumping, while swinging your arms to warm up the body and engage the core.
Plank Shoulder Taps: In a high plank position, alternate tapping each shoulder with the opposite hand, keeping your core tight to minimize hip movement.
Seated Leg Lifts: Sit on the floor or a chair, lean back slightly, and lift both legs together off the ground, engaging your lower abs.
Bird Dog Extensions: On your hands and knees, extend one arm and the opposite leg straight out, then bring them back to starting position, focusing on balance and core control.
Heel Touches: Lie on your back with knees bent, and reach your hands side to side to touch your heels, activating your obliques.
Bicycle Crunches: Lie on your back and alternate bringing your elbow to the opposite knee in a cycling motion, targeting the entire core.
Glute Bridges: Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat. Lift your hips toward the ceiling, engaging your glutes and core to stabilize the movement.
Daily Goals
👟 5000 steps minimum
💧 1.5 litres (50.72 ounces) minimum
📖 10 minutes reading the Qur'an minimum
👟 Daily Steps Info:
Low active: 5,000–7,499 steps/day
Somewhat active: 7,500–9,999 steps/day
Active: >10,000 steps/day
Highly active: >12,500 steps/day
The average U.S. adult takes 3,000 to 4,000 steps per day. However, the more steps you take, the more health benefits you receive. For example, one study found that increasing your step count by 1,000 steps per day reduces the risk of dying from any cause by 15%
💧 Daily Water Considerations (according to Mayo Clinic):
You might need to modify your total fluid intake based on several factors:
Exercise. If you do any activity that makes you sweat, you need to drink extra water to cover the fluid loss. It's important to drink water before, during and after a workout.
Environment. Hot or humid weather can make you sweat and requires additional fluid. Dehydration also can occur at high altitudes.
Overall health. Your body loses fluids when you have a fever, vomiting or diarrhea. Drink more water or follow a doctor's recommendation to drink oral rehydration solutions. Other conditions that might require increased fluid intake include bladder infections and urinary tract stones.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, you may need additional fluids to stay hydrated.
Diet Focus for the Week: Water First!
This week, make it a habit to drink a glass of water before every meal. Starting with water not only helps you stay hydrated but also supports portion control by creating a sense of fullness, which can prevent overeating. Hydration plays a critical role in maintaining healthy digestion, supporting metabolism, and improving overall energy levels.
Before breakfast, sip on a glass of warm water with a squeeze of lemon to gently wake up your digestive system. At lunch and dinner, a cool glass of water can act as a natural appetite regulator, helping you tune into true hunger cues rather than mindlessly eating. If you’re prone to snacking, pause to drink water first—it may help you realize you’re thirsty rather than hungry.
Proper hydration also improves nutrient absorption, skin health, and mental clarity. To ensure you're meeting your daily hydration goals, aim for at least 6-8 glasses of water a day, adjusting for physical activity and climate. Drinking water before meals is a simple yet powerful habit to support mindful eating and overall well-being, inshaAllah!
