I broke my ADF fast at 42 hours yesterday. During that time, I did a Proformer Pilates class and a 17 mile bike ride. A few hours after I broke my fast with lunch, I went and did a tough leg day at the gym. I’m always super hungry the day after a lifting day - I woke up and did a fasted 18 mile ride and am already starving! BUT, I’m doing a 48-ish hour fast, so hopefully this hot tea will do the trick!
I’ve been trying to figure out what days to lift and what days to do Pilates with my fasting schedule. I try to lift on eating days because I like to get protein into my muscles right after a lift. But I’m always hungriest the day AFTER lifting. Also, the type of Pilates I do is also strength training and a lot of muscle breaking down/rebuilding. I don’t worry about the bike riding - I’m doing MAF (low intensity rides) so those easily utilize stored fat.
Anyone have advice? How do you fit in lifting/strength training/working out with fasting?
