Experiment with both: do it couple of days before breakfast, then try the opposite. it may depend on your energy levels and comfort. I personally prefer to have an exercise before anything else, so I can have my breakfast after shower and energised. I know lots of people who find exercise on an empty stomach unnecessarily exhausting. So find what feels right for you.
Hello, I prefer to have breakfast and wait an hour, it’s what works best for you. I feel better mind and body if I have excercised, make sure you have fluids while exercise.
After reading a lot of articles online ....when you exercise your body needs some energy to perform well during workout , so a light preworkout food with protiens and carbs is great to eat or you can just eat a banana or apple 15 min before workout . Then after workout when you are exhausted , enjoy a protien rich and healthy breakfast .
I reccomend that you do it when it works for you. Take time to think about when you like to workout. If it’s more enjoyable in the evening or morning. Sometimes schedules change and it easier to do it one time or the other.
Do it before breakfast is better, so that the results will be faster. Exercise after eating is not recommended because it might hurt your stomach.
I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer. You should trust your body and cater to your life. Personally, I exercise before eating anything but my wife feels sick of the dies that, so she eats half her breakfast before exercising and then eats the other half afterwards.
It depends on the type of exercise, if you’re doing a morning yoga session I would suggest doing before breakfast to speed up your metabolism, if something like HIIT or strength session I would have breakfast first to give the boost 😉
For me I prefer eating breakfast after the exercise yet I shouldn’t go exercise with an empty stomach So I usually grab 3 dates and cup of milk the first thing to start my morning as tiny breakfast
I disagree with the app saying 7 minutes when I wake up. Usually I do something quick to get me going, like some press ups and squats. Then I usually shower and have breakfast and take the dog walking after that. So technically I do both, but I’d recommend a bigger chunk of exercise after breakfast than before, as you’re all fuelled up. Admittedly going before has benefits, like waking you up. But for full exercise I like to be focused and awake and raring to go. So I do a little bit to help wake me up, then whatever I want to do once I’m awake and breakfasted. I hope this helps, Cheers, Tom
I usually like to exercise before breakfast since I tend to get an upset stomach if I work out after eating. Each person is different though. I know people who eat breakfast before exercising. Try having a smoothie as breakfast if you feel like eating before a work out. It won’t upset your stomach and you can then make a decision that feels right for you :).
