Intermittent fasting (IF) has taken the fitness and health world by storm, promising everything from weight loss and improved energy to better focus and longevity. But can it work alongside a smart, structured workout routine? Absolutely—especially when you combine it with Speediance smart fitness solutions.
If you’ve ever wondered how to pair intermittent fasting with an effective workout plan, this guide will show you how to get the most out of your fasting window and exercise sessions. Whether you’re a busy professional, a fitness enthusiast, or someone juggling family life, Speediance makes it easier to train smarter and see real results—all while fasting.
How Intermittent Fasting Works
Intermittent fasting isn’t about what you eat—it’s about when you eat. It involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, allowing your body to tap into stored fat for energy. Popular methods include:
- 16:8: Fast for 16 hours, eat within an 8-hour window.
- 5:2: Eat normally for five days, restrict calories on two non-consecutive days.
- Alternate Day Fasting: Rotate between eating normally and fasting days.
The benefits? Fasting helps your body burn fat more efficiently, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation—perfect for anyone looking to boost their fitness results.
But here’s the catch: to make intermittent fasting work, you need an efficient, results-driven workout routine—and that’s where Speediance comes in.
Why Speediance Workouts Pair Perfectly with Intermittent Fasting
When you’re fasting, energy management is key. You need workouts that are quick, effective, and tailored to your goals—without draining your energy reserves. Speediance’s smart home gym systems deliver exactly that.
1. Efficient Full-Body Workouts
With the Gym Monster 2, you can perform over 500 exercises, targeting all muscle groups in a single session. The adjustable pulleys and cable accessories allow seamless transitions between movements, making your workouts shorter and more productive—perfect for a fasted state.
- Smart Fitness Modes: Choose from standard, eccentric, constant, and chain resistance modes to match your energy and training needs.
- Strength Assessments: Speediance provides personalised weight suggestions, so you train effectively without overexerting.
2. Customised Training Programs
Not sure how to train while fasting? The Speediance Workouts Page offers guided programs that fit into any fasting schedule—whether you prefer fasted morning workouts or post-feeding strength training sessions.
For example:
- Fasted mornings? Try a quick 20-minute HIIT session to burn fat efficiently.
- Post-fasting window? Focus on strength training with the Gym Pal for up to 200 lbs of resistance.
3. Low-Impact Options for Fat-Burning
When fasting, low-impact workouts can help you stay active without depleting your energy. The Rowing Bench converts your Speediance system into a rowing machine for a full-body, fat-burning cardio session that’s easy on the joints.
- Why It Works: Rowing engages 85% of your muscles, helping you torch calories without excessive strain.
Tips for Combining Fasting with Speediance Workouts
To get the best results, here are some tips for pairing intermittent fasting with your Speediance equipment:
1. Train During Your Energy Peaks
Schedule your workouts during the time you feel most energised. For many, that’s at the end of a fasting window (before your first meal) or shortly after eating.
2. Focus on Resistance Training
Strength training helps preserve muscle while fasting. The Gym Monster 2 and Gym Pal offer customised resistance training options, ensuring you build strength and maintain lean muscle mass.
3. Use the Smart Bluetooth Ring Controller
Adjusting resistance mid-workout is effortless with the Smart Bluetooth Ring Controller. This allows you to train efficiently without breaking momentum—perfect for shorter, focused sessions during fasting.
4. Stay Hydrated
Fasting and exercise can dehydrate you faster than usual. Drink plenty of water and consider adding electrolytes during long fasting periods to maintain energy.
What a Sample Day Looks Like
Here’s how you can combine intermittent fasting with a Speediance workout:
- 7:00 AM: Fasted HIIT session using the Gym Monster 2 (20 minutes).
- 12:00 PM: Break your fast with a protein-rich meal.
- 5:00 PM: Strength training with the Gym Pal (30 minutes).
- 7:00 PM: Last meal of the day—balanced with protein, carbs, and healthy fats.
This approach maximises fat burn during the fasting window and supports muscle building during your feeding period.
