Fitness 19 Releases "Is Intermittent Fasting Effective for Workouts?"

TEMECULA, Calif., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fitness 19 has announced the release of its latest resource, "Is Intermittent Fasting Effective for Workouts?". This guide discusses the effectiveness of intermittent fasting for workouts by covering the science behind intermittent fasting, energy levels, muscle gain, and fat loss, gender differences in fasting and fitness, and how to design a workout around a fast.

Intermittent fasting revolves around when a person eats, not what a person eats. When a person fasts, insulin levels drop, which accelerates fat burning. When fasting, people often experience an energy level drop during workouts, but after a transition period, people start to experience more stable energy levels. Intermittent fasting does not hinder muscle growth, but people should ensure sufficient protein and calorie intake and time workouts before or during an eating window. Intermittent fasting is known to help people lose fat because they naturally eat less in a narrowed time window.

"You cannot approach a fasted workout the same way you approach a fed one; you need to be strategic about intensity and volume," according to Fitness 19. For strength training, people should try to schedule workouts near the end of a fast so a post-workout meal can be a recovery meal. For low- to moderate-intensity workouts, people can do them deep into a fast without seeing a dip in performance. For HIIT workouts, people should consider a shorter fasting period.
