I just do what I want to do when I want to do it. If it feels good and my body reacts favorably, all good.

HIIT is arguably the best use of your time in the gym if you’re not strength training or doing some kind of circuit training.

You can exercise whenever you want to. I’ve been experimenting with exercise while fasted for a few months with good results, but I’m not sure the science supports any particular time or state being superior as a blanket statement. Supposedly the increase in HGH and low insulin levels while fasting have advantages for building muscle and weight loss but i recently read studies that showed it doesn’t matter, so I’m not sure anymore. However, it’s convenient for me to hit the gym at lunch and not worry about eating until later, so i will probably continue. I would suggest doing what you enjoy, when it feels good to you.

I work out when I want to. I try to do 30 minutes of cardio on the bike to get things moving, feel great, push down sugars, etc. I often don’t make this workout happen, sadly. I lift weights twice a week. Because of a connective-tissue disorder, I cannot lift heavy weights anymore or do HIIT, so I aim for what I can for 8-12 reps of 3 sets. I lift weights during the afternoon if on weekends and evening if on a weekday. Then 3-5 times a week, I will try to do 60 minutes of cardio in the evening. I find that being fat adapted really makes the cardio enjoyable.

Perfect time for me is to train in a fasted state.

type of excercise is speculative, having said that this is what i have come acoss.

our muscle is made up of fibres, there are slow twitch fibre and there are fast twitch fibre. from my (limited) understanding, slow twitch fibres are activated when youre working out without intensity so for eg: jogging, weightlifing (where your heart rate isnt elevated enough or for long, due to resting between sets), walking etc. Fast-twitch muscle fibers are used for high intensity workouts.

I came acroos a weight loss PT in north london who fully backs ketogenic diet and IF, He told me that the fast twich muscle fibres are the ones releasing the most amount of energy from fat stores into the blood, BUT its the slow twitch fibres that burn them in the muscles.

The idea is to start with HIIT for first half of your session, and then moving onto things like weight lifting, jogging/walking etc… i did this and got fantastic results, then again i was IF and eating LC so cant put too much emphasis on this, other than my own expererience i dont have much to back this up… food for thought though

It makes sense that slow-twitch fibers would burn fat in the muscle. I don’t see how any muscle fiber–fast or slow twitch–could possible release any fat into the blood stream.

It’s much better explained in this video.

Let me know what you think??

Also, it all depends on WHY you’re exercising and what your goals are…

The biggest bang for the buck is lifting weights. 30 minutes for 3 days a week, a person will get results. Do an exercise for 5 sets. In 30 minutes that is about 5 exercises. 30 minutes and done. That is it. For fat burning, the body can’t access fat stores if the insulin level is high. Fat oxidation will happen if liver glycogen is depleted and insulin is low…fasted state…ketones are high. Day 3 of a fast is a good time to run.

I don’t like exercising in the evening as it keeps me awake. Unfortunately that’s when my classes and free time are.
