Restarting foundation..question about frequency

[Anthony Del Balso]

I'm just over fifty and restarting foundation. I have been doing front stretch once a week since late December and recently starting incorporating core foundation 1 before hand. 

I try to fast intermittently, eating between 11 am and 8pm. 

 could you make a recommendations for frequency of the foundation workouts for someone my age and time of day for working out considering the intermittent fasting?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Anthony, unfortunately i do not have experience with IF but for sure twice a week for foundations should not be a problem. i older student is 70 yo.

I've been doing time restricted eating (IF) for years. First meal of the day usually around 11AM. I train at around 7AM and never have had a problem with energy levels.

Foundations 1 isn't very energy intensive. Should be ok on an empty stomach.

Thank you all.  After several weeks doing intermittent fasting, I ended up gaining weight. I guess I ate too liberally since I was famished all mornings...and often I couldn't eat early due to other commitments, so I ended up eating pretty late many nights a week. 

So I've dropped that, and despite eating out a ton the past two weeks, I've lost 3 pounds. Nearly back to my original starting weight.

I worked out first thing this AM, then had a protein shake after. That felt really good so I'm going to try to do that more often. :-)
