Resistance Training
As well as using the body’s stored carbs for energy during fasting, it is likely that your body will also turn to protein stores; this can lead to loss of muscle mass. Resistance training helps to preserve muscle mass, so opt for body weight exercises such as squats, lunges and push-ups or add in weights for dead lifts, shoulder press, chest press and rows.
