Can I still exersise while fasting?

I'm 5 days into a 20 day water fast & have ran into a problem... I have strength & conditioning at school & its mandatory! But I've read several things saying that you should and shouldn't exercise & fast. My usual exercise is like to the point where I break a small sweat then stop. So can I exercise and fast?

    K first off why fast you dont lose weight quite as fast as you think you need to eat calories and burn them off lets say you eat about 1,000 calories a day you need to burn atleast 1,300 to stay healthy and lose fat and gain muscle hope it helped dont fast for more then 1 a week and honestly running for 10 minutes isnt gonna hurt u while fasting for a day

    20 days without food? That doesn't sound good at all and I wouldn't chance exercising if I were you.
