When I first looked at IF, I came across several blogs which, whilst extolling the virtues of IF, also emphasised strength training – specifically weightlifting:http://www.leangains.com/ Martin Berkham – IF and weight-liftinghttp://www.marksdailyapple.com/welcome-to-marks-daily-apple/#axzz2pS7TUoOH Mark Sisson – The Primal Blueprinthttp://www.eatstopeat.com/ Brad Pilon – blogging on IF since 2006http://gettingstronger.org/ Todd Becker and Hormesis(All these blogs are well worth perusing – they contain a wealth of info, most of it freely offered.)I did nothing about this, rationalising that these blogs reflected the particular interests of the blogger. However, I’ve now been practicing IF for almost 2 years, and I’ve recently added strength building exercises to that regime – inspired, it has to be said, by the womenfolk on the Mumsnet 5:2 threads.Here’s my programme so far:Back exercises: I had a problem with my back, many years ago, so, since then I’ve been doing two daily exercises to prevent a recurrence:I lie on my back on the floor with my knees bent and do 100 curls while keeping my lower back on the floor – arms out in frontAnd then I do the reverse – I lie on my front and bring my head and shoulders up whilst keeping my hips on the floor. Up until I retired – over 20 years ago, now – I cycled to work, in summer reaching about 120 miles a week – so I was pretty fit. I joined a gym for a few years – mainly treadmill and cross-trainer. Then I gained access to a small swimming pool – I spend about 30 minutes a day in there
