You're a brave man, RezH. I don't quite have the nerve yet to workout on fast days. I'm on my second fast right now and already, it seems easier than the first (but who knows how I'll feel for the last few hours... I've got about 6 more to go). My general impression is that, over time, the 24 hour fast period gets to be routine and isn't really a challenge at all. In fact, people seem to look forward to it. Once it becomes routine for me, I'll feel more comfortable adding in workouts on those days.
I've read quite a few comments on another site from people who actually prefer working out on fast days (even doing really intense workouts) and claim to have seen gains in both muscle strength and leanness. I hope you'll stop back from time to time and update us with your results.
Best of luck,
K
