Intermittent Fasting and Workout?
1 min read
Asked by: Amanda Cook
Yes, it is OK to work out while fasting because the key to weight loss and muscle gain is not just calories and exercise, but hormone optimization. Studies demonstrate amazing benefits to intermittent fasting alone, but combining fasting with sprint training takes the benefits of each to a whole new level.
Can you workout in the morning while intermittent fasting?
When practicing intermittent fasting, working out in the morning can be SUPER beneficial. Since it is near the end of your fast, your body’s insulin levels have hit their baseline, meaning that your body is no longer storing fat, but rather is burning it.
How much exercise should you do during intermittent fasting?
If you decide to try out fasted cardio, follow a few rules to stay safe: Don’t exceed 60 minutes of cardio without eating. Choose moderate- to low-intensity workouts.
Does exercising while fasting burn more fat?
Some studies have found that exercising in a fasted state can burn almost 20 percent more fat compared to exercising with fuel in the tank.
