Should I workout while I'm fasting?

People have this idea that they have to eat before they exercise to have enough energy.  The purpose of the exercise is to make you more fit, to increase the health of the system, to build more capacity, to have less stress, etc. 

During a workout, you’re stressing your body, your body adapts to that stress, and then it improves various things. But, make sure you don’t overtrain because overtraining will inhibit your sleep, keep your inflammation up, and reduce your gains.
