The 10-day Hajj prep workout plan

Days 4–7: Build strength and stamina with longer walks, lower-body training, tawaf simulation, recovery work, and one peak-effort day.

- Use dates, bananas, oats, eggs, nuts, and dried fruit as simple fuel
- Avoid heavy oily meals before longer walks
- Protect sleep and recovery like part of the plan
Practical Hajj prep tips
- Break in your footwear before you travel

- Use dhikr, dua, or Qur’an during walks to connect the training to the purpose
May Allah accept your Hajj, grant you strength in the journey, and return you home renewed.
