I can’t move after breakfast, if I have my stomach full it’s impossible to exercise... How much time do you leave in between breakfast and exercise? Is it a good way to solve this? I love having a great breakfast!

I always give 1 hour between breakfast and exercising, but sometimes I prefer to work out first and then have my breakfast. It is a good option, too! Hope this help you!

I’ll typically leave about an hour, maybe more depending on how much time I have during the day. I prefer working out in the morning, and I don’t wanna miss breakfast either! After I eat, I’ll do a few small chores such as light cleaning, laundry, organizing, or I’ll instead spend time with my pets. I try to do something that’ll keep me moving so I don’t get lazy and stationary, and end up avoiding my workout.

I had the same issue when i started being more healthy. I think the key is to wake up and have your breakfast early around 7-8 am. After that i always leave 2 hours before i do any workout. It works for me i hope it will works for you too.

I usually leave about an hour, eat a breakfast full of jogurt, milk, Müsli and fruits. After that you could study (watch a lecture) for about an hour, then you can gladly stretch and workout. Or you could first stretch before the lecture, then workout after it. If you dont have any lectures to do or so just relax and watch something fun for you, you’ll be looking forward to mornings that way

I usually exercise one hour after breakfast so my stomach is not full. Also, you can have a great breakfast without eating too much and still have enough energy to exercise. I hope it helps!😊

It depends how much you workout. I workout out for 30 minutes. Run 15, workout 15, and then shower and eat breakfast. Getting up in the morning can be troubling sometimes, but once you get in the rhythm of getting up and running, you’ll feel a lot better!

I like to have a smoothie before my exercise it is a good way to start the day and after my exercise I will have a small sandwich on my way to work . But you start the day by jogging or walking to start the day and have your breakfast after it and do heavy workouts in the evenings .

When eating and having to workout afterwards, you’re going to want something light. You will need fruits like strawberries, blueberries, bananas, etc.. You can simply add fruit to any oats or grains such as, oatmeal, grits or breads such as, bagels and croissants.

Well, when i have the enough motivation to exercise that’s the first thing i do when i wake up, so i never feel full with the food i prepare. But as you know not everyone is the same and I don’t if this work to you so when i exercise before my breakfast i use to wait like 50mins o one hour.... I hope this can help u somehow

I think you should start excercise before having a breakfast and even if you do after that make sure you walk for 5-10 mins and then after 1 hour do it might help it
