Is doing body exercises during a dry fast ok?

Currently on day 1 of a 7 day soft dry fast and was wondering if doing push ups, sit ups, and squats every day is ok.

I know lifting while dry fasting isn’t a wise move. Hell I even tried once for the hell of it and almost passed out haha.

Answer

Go on YouTube and search for “filinov fast” and watch a few of them. The protocol for weight loss is 2 24 hour dry fasts per week while walking 10 kilometers per day. No need to jump into these super intense 7 day fasts right away.

Get some experience with shorter fasts. Do the walking or equivalent exercise like body weight work. Basic idea is to use up all glycogen without stressing too much.

Try this for a month or two. I think jumping straight into long fasts with exercise is a bad idea. Just try it.
