Can You Exercise During a Fast? Dr. Becky Fitness

Studies show that exercising while you are fasting helps your muscle cells take in glucose and help you burn fat. These are great things if your goal is to lose weight. But what is happening to your muscles? Are they breaking down to fuel your exercise session? The answer to this question is not black and white. In this video, I will share what research has uncovered about exercising while on a fast.
