As Intermittent Fasting gains in popularity, more people want to know: How does Intermittent Fasting really work?

Don’t have time to watch? Here’s a quick recap!

Intermittent Fasting allows the body to stay at digestive rest, which means it can focus on important things like healing and repair. This results in more energy, strengthened immunity, and fat burning!

What does Intermittent Fasting look like?

Most people do the 16/8 Intermittent Fasting protocol, which means we fast for 16 hours every day and consume our food in an eight-hour window. Most people choose to skip breakfast and start eating around 11 am or noon, then stop eating around 7 or 8 pm.

Which workouts are best?

We have a big focus on strength training workouts, especially the lower body because it’s the biggest muscle group (which will give you the biggest bang for your buck!). Strength training and HIIT (high intensity interval training—also called muscle-building cardio) actually help increase metabolism!

You don’t have to suffer through hours on the treadmill—prioritize effective exercise instead!

You’re busy and we get that—at the FASter Way, we believe in effective workouts that don’t take hours out of your day! We’ll get you in and out in 30 minutes and still you’ll see amazing results!
