Re: Question about Excerising during a Fast
"I usually did brisk walking for about a hour a day."
I personally like to execise while fasting, but I leave it up to my body to tell me if I should on any particular day.
If you are walking at a 15 minute mile which isn't to brisk, but a nice pace you would be walking about 4 miles. Cut back if you need to. Let your body tell you what's best instead of trying to do what you normally do. You don't have to exercise every day either, just when it feels good.
As far as the severe headaches, I would think that is related to the amount of water you are drinking during the fast. I see some people talking about dry fasting, and it's a big mistake as far as I'm concerned. You need the water to move the toxins.

I stand as strongly against this EXTREMELY dangerous practice as I do
against almost anything I could imagine. I have seen people seriously
and permanently damage their health using this practice. I have seen
huge numbers of failed attempts, unnecessary suffering, and lots of
extremism accumulating around dry fasting. It is as misguided an
atttempt at health creation as I could ever imagine.
There are no additional benefits to dry fasting as opposed to fasting
with water. The risk of death is high, imo.
