Should I lift weights to perserve muscle?

I’m doing a extended fast at least 14 days, and I don’t know if I should lift weights during this time some days I can and others say no you will lose even more muscle. Should I just not do anything or just do some simple body weight workouts and walk daily to keep it light?

Answer

I do on mine. Lighter weight, more reps to make it more cardio. You can’t build muscle but I don’t want to break the habit. If I paused for 14 days completely, it would be hard to get back to where I am at.
