Fasted Cardio?

Hi all,

Just wondering how everyone feels about fasted cardio. Fasted cardio means I would do my workout in the morning before lunch (without eating breakfast). From what I can gather from the exercise recommendations for ttc a girl is that you should work out for an hour so that your body works through all the available carbs/glucose available, then starts using your fat.. But if I'm working out before eating anything, then I wouldn't have much in terms of carb energy in the first place.

Thoughts?

Thanks! :)

That's how I do my exercise- I have two coffees in the am then cardio for an hour and then eat lunch 1-2 hours after exercise. I will also have a Diet Coke and water to get me through to Lunch.
Hoping this works for me this time. My sway opposite I did no exercise just fasted until 12 everyday.

This is very specifically how I exercised before conceiving my DD. If you do it first thing in the morning, you shouldn't notice too much of an issue; many people in the fitness community work out fasted because of the efficiency of burning fat that way.

I don't think it matters that much really and we also don't know why the exercise sways pink anyway, just that it does. IMO I think just doing the cardio is good for pink. Atomic has said she just doesn't want someone eating right before and after exercising. I always just worked out whenever I had the opportunity to (usually afternoon) so do what works for you.

That's fine and potentially better for pink if you can stick with it.

Wonderful, thank you for your insight ladies! Exciting to think that it could possibly even work better! :)

That is exactly what I did when I swayed and got my DD..I would have my coffee in the morning then hit the treadmill at 9-10 ish then shower and then get lunch going for my boys, then I would eat when they went down for naps at 12ish!

Good luck to you! Pink dust your way! Xo
