Try This Lower Body Dumbbell Workout From Ramadan Reset With Ruba Ali
Staying active during Ramadan has never been so easy.
March 5, 2025 - Updated March 5, 2025
After years of requests from the Sweat Community for a workout program suitable for Ramadan, we are so proud that Ramadan Reset with Ruba Ali is now available in the Sweat app.
Designed by Ruba to help you stay active during Ramadan, the program features three 20-30 minute low-impact workouts each week that are perfect for all fitness levels, but it’s totally up to you how much (or little) you do each week. Ruba wants you to listen to your body and your energy levels, and move in a way that feels good for YOU.
This lower-body dumbbell workout is taken from week one of the program, and all you’ll need is a set of dumbbells, a short resistance band and a bench or similar alternative. If you don’t have any dumbbells or are missing a resistance band, don’t worry, you can easily do this session using just your bodyweight!
