One of the biggest questions regarding Intermittent Fasting is whether or not you can workout while doing so- the short answer is absolutley! Working out while fasting has many benefits that will advance you further into your fitness journey: Your Workout Performance is Improved When you workout in a fasted state, your body actually releases more of the human growth hormone or HGH, which will harbor an ideal environment for building muscle and losing fat. Your Body Will Burn Fat More Efficiently: When you train in a fasted state, your body's ability to burn fat skyrockets. This is due to the lack of glucose in your system. Your body will use your fat for energy rather than glucose. Stronger Endurance: Studies have shown that those who workout fasted slowly build a stronger VO2 max (your body’s endurance capacity) than those who do not workout fasted. Here at Excel Body Fitness in Cary/Morrisville, we highly recommend ProLon, a 5-day fast mimicking diet that allows your body to nourish itself and rejuvenate your cells. Not only is this program unique in the sense that you are allotted meals, but it is plant-based as well! Keep in mind that while on the 5-day ProLon Fast, it is recommended to stick to light or no exercise. But, after the fast ends, you will reap all the benefits in your workouts!
