Re: Considering working out 1st thing in the morning.

I'm with Tmann, when lifting in the morning i do it on an empty stomach. A shake, a piece of fruit or a yogurt and thats it. At least an hour before. I'm a slug if i do it any other way.

Oh and i get off of work at 9pm and lift at 5:30 am....so you can do it Crombie, just give it a good week or so and you'll be ok...

I always train at 4:30 AM when my gym opens unless work interferes. Gets my workout out of the way for the day and USUALLY only like minded hard training people are there at that hour, no social butterflies or wanna be pros.

I have heard this over and over..Contrary to popular belief, working out on an empty stomach is not good, especially if doing cardio. Your body will try to hold off burning your bodies stored fat because of it being its only energy source, and later in the day your body will compinsate for taking in more fat from the food you eat. If you eat a good breakfest before working out, then your body will not be scarificing its stored fat because of lack of fuel and go to the fat quicker. I don't know if iam explaining correctly, but i have not only read this, but heard it from more than on pro trainer.
