Do you hit the gym before you eat or after? I just rejoined the gym, and before I go in im curious about those who IF and work out. Ive been doing 16/8 for my 4th month and like what im seeing. I finish work at 12:30 pm so i was thinking of hitting the gym right after, however I usually start eating at 1pm. Im fine moving up my times im just curious on how you feel.
I go to the gym every day in the morning - I drink pre workout (many of debates if this actually breaks your fast, but it works for me) & tons of water. I don’t eat my first meal which is a protein shake until 2pm. Trainers would say this is completely unhealthy but I am full of energy every workout and don’t find myself hungry until 2pm now anyways! 😊
Black coffee before a morning run works alright, but if it’s late in the fast it’s a bit more uncomfortable. Working out fasted is supposed to be great for ketosis and autophagy, but sometimes I prefer to workout after breaking my fast.
I work out in the mornings while fasting. Couldn’t take my pre workout as it would break my fast, so I take these sport fasting electrolytes which really help with stamina and muscle recovery. https://www.amazon.com/Reset-Electrolyte-Essential-Electrolytes-Vitamins/dp/B09QMPY42L/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25KLH4O2J888M&keywords=ResetGo&qid=1673458944&sprefix=resetgo%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-1
