  • Real Pilates class in action.

    Real Pilates is offering its unique space and amazing facilities to keep you fit during Ramadan.

    Providing various health benefits to residents of Dubai for years, the famous studio knows the best way to embrace the holy month with the right type of energy boosting exercises and techniques.

    Reza Alavi, Founder and Managing Director of Real Pilates said: “The month of Ramadan is a peaceful season for all, where time spent with family and evaluating oneself is encouraged. In line with self evaluation, an acute consciousness of ones wellbeing, both physical and mental should be maintained.”

    Real Pilates is located in ONE JLT, Al Sarayat Street and in Palm Strip Mall, Jumeirah. Classes start from Dh85 and packages are available.

    For Ramadan, Dubai will see the onset of a more peaceful month, whereby those fasting as well as those that aren’t, embrace the spirit of the season. Families will come together more often, sharing meals after Iftar and celebrating a sense of togetherness that the rest of the year may lack.

    However this time does also see health levels fluctuating from the yearly norm, due to the change in diet pattern. It is important for those observing the fast to bear in mind their health, and the ways in which to best conserve this during the sacred month.

    In line with promoting health levels during this time, low intensity yet wholesome exercise options can be undertaken. A great example of this would be Pilates mat classes, which look into developing core strength and stability. These make use of a series of simple yet precise movements that facilitate toning of muscles, development of flexibility and improve posture.

    Yoga is yet another such exercise that does not always necessitate high levels of energy, but through movement that is timed along to the inflow and outflow of air into the body, helps center the mind and body.

    However, attempts to maintain ones physical well-being are rendered futile if this is not supported by the nutrients received by the body. Foods with relatively higher water contents which are easily digestible are ideal; as the body can break these down faster to release the energy it has not received throughout the day.

    Raw fruits and vegetables would be the prime example of this as they do not overburden the digestive system but are packed with vital substances. Freshly squeezed juices are also highly beneficial as they are packed with quick acting sugars to boost glucose levels in the body.

    These when incorporated into the delectable Iftar spread, ensure that individuals receive all the essential nutrients they require.
