How much time before you start your morning exercise do you have something to eat?

I usually do my morning exercise before I eat. In the morning I focus more on stretching and warming up my body, so I’m not doing anything particularly vigorous.

I usually exercise, cool down with some stretches to relax and slow my breathing, wait about five minutes, and then go make breakfast.

I believe that a protein rich food around an hour before exercise is recommended. Some prefer to exercise on an empty stomach too. Regular hydration is very important too!

I don’t eat breakfast before exercise in the morning. Unless its evening exercise and I usually give myself 2 hours to digest my food before exercise.

If it’s a small snack like a piece of fruit, 20-30 minutes is adequate time to wait before exercising. If you’re eating a full meal, wait at least an hour before working out.

This depends on the day. Some days I’m not exercising until later in the day due to kid and work schedule. I cannot exercise after eating, so sometimes I do it before I eat or 30-60 minutes later. Sometimes it’s hours later, but I’m committing to doing it everyday.

My morning exercise happens before I eat breakfast. I prioritize my morning routine so that there is less of a chance of interruption and there is no feeling of being full that will prevent me from getting a good workout/run in.
