Throwing 90mph in the middle of fasting for 3 days
Probably wasn’t the best idea to workout and throw while fasting for a prolonged period of time but… that first meal will be incredible.
Fasting has powerful effects on the body, influencing everything from energy levels to metabolism. Many athletes explore fasting for its potential benefits, including improved focus and recovery. During prolonged fasting, you may experience fatigue and physical discomfort, yet many find these challenges rewarding with the right mindset. When lifting weights or engaging in intense physical activities like throwing, hydration and energy levels are critical. It’s essential to listen to your body; training while fasting can lead to exhaustion, especially when performing at peak levels like 90mph. After the experience, enjoying a nutritious break is vital for muscle recovery. Balance in your diet post-fasting ensures you replenish essential nutrients and electrolytes, aiding recovery and preparing you for your next workout.
