559. Should You Exercise Fasted?
There are so many benefits to fasting, however not every body is ready for fasting and it can actually make things worse if not done correctly. The biggest mistake I see with fasting is jumping into it from a depleted place or exercising fasted when the body is not primed. Many women are told that fasting is a quick way to weight loss. Less calories, more exercise = fast weight loss? This is the wrong approach! In this episode, I share more about fasting, exercise and how to approach it in a healthy way.
