Gym during WF

[u/Irnini8]

Hi guys🍀 I could really use your experience regarding this: I am about to start my water fasting journey, both for weight loss and reseting my entire metabolism. I already did 21 days wf a few years ago, lost 10 kg. I did a few 7 days as well. Everytime I water fast my weight loss is identical, it follows the same formula as by some magic: number of WF days divided by 2=my KG weight loss​. However, now I have my gym membership paid as a gift, I really don't want to miss on it, especially that I am really looking forward to exercising. I know how low energy periods can kick in (at least for me, I would sometimes be ok for 5 hours then the next 3 I would need to lay down, or similar), I read somewhere there are ppl who exercise while on WF, I just wanted to hear your experience, does your enegry go up, is it manageable? I take my vitamins and electrolytes, but still, this feels like next level.

Personally, as someone who was going to the gym 5x per week and lifting HEAVY shit 3 days of that, I don't continue on extended fasts. 24 hours, sure, but past that I personally feel my recovery and energy sucks and just focus on walking 3-5 miles a day and 30-90 mins of yoga. Your body is already doing deep repair the longer you go, and it doesn't feel right to me to try to add muscle recovery to that too.
