I came across this inspiring interview by UAE weightlifter Amna Al Haddad. Pushing the boundaries as a Muslim woman, and as an Olympic hopeful!
I love to see women lifting weights!
UAE weightlifter Amna Al Haddad eyes the 2016 Olympics.
I’m also excited to approach Ramadan differently, from a fitness and exercise perspective. I underestimated myself last year, and relaxed quite a bit. I’m going to be maintaining my lifting sessions, but at a lesser intensity. For me, regularity will be more important than stopping altogether.
