We have 2 young kids so I go to the gym after they go to bed (around 7.30pm) I do 30-40 resistance then 10 min HIIT cardio. Then break my fast when I get home. I think it's the exercise rather than IF'ing that's the cause but as its my only window I don't have the choice. Mornings and lunchtimes are not an option for me. Any advice?<br/><br/>Paul Hi Brad

I actually find that I can solve issues/problems after having this quiet time at the gym or out running.

I’ve noticed that since starting my IF and resistance training regime I’m finding I can’t fall asleep until 2-3 am. We have 2 young kids so I go to the gym after they go to bed (around 7.30pm) I do 30-40 resistance then 10 min HIIT cardio. Then break my fast when I get home. I think it’s the exercise rather than IF’ing that’s the cause but as its my only window I don’t have the choice. Mornings and lunchtimes are not an option for me. Any advice?

I just started working out again and did a hard 25 minute “hardly any rest just go to the next exercise” bodyweight routine yesterday… and I experienced the same phenomena! … yet I didn’t “think” about it until you mentioned it.

Which makes sense!

By the way, the word is spelled “quiet”.

Damn Canadians. Can’t spell worth a dam.

You can either try to rearrange your fasts so you’re not too far into your fast before you go to bed, or try to do a workout that tires you out before bed.

Assuming the dork next to you in the gym isn't one of those grunting types.<br/>on a another note, I sleep horrible after a fasting day. I must wake up 6 or more times during the night.I don't do this on regular days. I know that carbs can have something to do with sleep but my first meal is usually quinoa and chickpeas with veggies, and i don't load up on caffene either. Any thoughts?

My goals for my workout are consistent, and deal with mostly improving body proportions.

My approach is fairly ADD, I like trying many different styles of training, and switch up my routines on an almost monthly basis.
