Thread: morning cardio question

I started doing my cardio early morning instead of trying to cram
it in at the end of work outs.
But my question is should I just drink a whey shake and go to the
Gym and eat breakfast after
Or wake up eat breakfast then go to the Gym for cardio 45min after
eating?

I would do Cardio in the morning then lift later in the day or switch it up. Some people believe that doing cardio on an empty stomach is the best way to go, but it's a royal pain in the ass....IMO I always have to eat some real food before lifting....

I lift in the evening
Ill try my morning cardio on empty stomach and see how I like it

Its easier for me go do cardio on an empty stomach, especially since I have acid reflux. Heavy cardio with too much food or drink in my belly really sux.

After...U don't wanna cramp up from a full stomach.

empty stomach . u have enough energy from day before left ..... if you eat before thraining it won´t get digested in that time anyway . I train on morning shift before going to work at 5 am and no problem w empty stomach . my 2 euros ..

Make sure you give it more than a couple days. I switched to morning cardio on an empty stomach to get my bf% down. Felt like crap the first week - energy level was low and so was intensity. 2nd wk it got way smoother. Now it is the only way I like to do it.

These articles should offer you some perspective on your questions:

Just hit a cup or two of black coffee, and nothing else before you hit the gym!
