Weight loss

How exactly does exercise work on a keto diet? Since you're burning fat in the first 5 minutes, do you still need to do long workouts or can they be broken up into 2 x 15 minute sessions?

Quick note about this..How sure are you, that you are in a keto state? Thought I have been for the last week but the strips show other-wise.
 
I recommend at least having 30kgs per dumbell - in 2kg and 5kg increments.
A barbell would be useful too

If you're not used to lifting weights this should keep you busy for a while

I wanted to buy some more weights but sheesh they are not cheap
 
I get mine from Mr. Price sport.. but yeah theyre pricey.. I only have around 80kgs... but progress is slow lately, weight lifting needs more carbs :D
 
Not enough -

Bench: 60kgs
Deadlift: 60Kgs
Pull ups: 3x5
Abs 150 reps comprising of various exercises.

Thats pretty much all I do, I'm not really doing isolation exercises - I will leave them for when I am at a more reasonable bf% and want to start increasing muscle mass seriously.

I am concentrating on lats and chest because a big chest can make your hips looks smaller (You create a triangle with your body)

I've been low carbing over 3 weeks now, so even if I'm not in ketosis, I'm definitely fat adapted.

On the same boat currently. Looking to get into Ketosis though as it will push me passed my current plateau.
As for your initial question. I read a couple links about exercising while on a Keto diet and while it's somewhat dangerous if taken to the extreme, if your just toning up it shouldn't cause any harm.

Same here. My problem is I have frigging tiny wrists so they normally hold me back.

I am doing my own variation of 5x5 atm. It seems to have been bearing fruit but I am still unhappy with the weights I am pushing.
 
I have tiny wrists too :D and yeah they do seem to hold you back. What weights are you doing Shaun?

Got any friends who work in the metal industry?
The only dumbbells I bought are my 3kg ones. The rest were all made by my husband.
