Getting straight into it is the best way to go.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elba F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should probably eat afterwards since working out on a full stomach is bad. Unless you have time to eat early then exercise much later in the morning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abby Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Both. It\u2019s better to eat a small meal before working out (like oatmeal with fruit or a protein bar) and then having lean protein 30-45 minutes after the workout.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Wera X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Eat after a breakfast.  This will refuel your body and with the right food will supply protein to help develop the muscles.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bela U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I believe that if you are awake early enough, have breakfast then wait half an hour or so then exercise. I usually crash and burn if I don\u2019t have food before exercise. My blood sugar drops and I feel dizzy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marie P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Eating an hour before exercising can set you up for the day, studies have shown exercising before breakfast can put stress on the body<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Andy N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think you should exercise before eating because both exercise and eating ate meant to give you energy, but if you eat before exercizing, you&#39;ll use that energy, even though its something that&#39;s supposed to add to your energy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kay Uwe J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There is no should in this case, it&#39;s whatever feels best to you. I don&#39;t like working out on an empty stomach so I have an apple or a banana beforehand!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gabriel O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I was playing soccer for 13 years I was taught to eat after exercising and I still abide by that rule. Occasionally I drink something warm to &quot;flush&quot; myself. But always remember that there&#39;s an exception for every rule: it depends on your goals, how long are you awake before the exercise, do you then actually remember to eat something within half an hour of exercising? Try it for a week and see for useful, you&#39;ll notice that when your done with your exercise the hunger wasn&#39;t even real (just remember to drink WATER!)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lolly A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">After, wake up early in the morning. Grab your bottle of water and go out and do whatever exercising you do. The come back and have a healthy breakfast.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tara O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you&#39;re starving before hand then you can eat a light energizing snack such as nuts, some dark chocolate maybe, some fruit like a apple and some peanut butter . Oatmeal is great too. I personally love maca root powder or ashwagandha root powder mixed into a smoothie, or maybe some water or juice that isnt too sugary, for an amazing energy boost. If it&#39;s not too expensive where you live, it&#39;s an amazing supplement of sorts for a pre-work out energizer. Just nothing too heavy or fried beforehand. And of course make sure you&#39;re hydrated and warmed up beforehand too. (: then after the work out, l-glutmate is another great supplement for recovery as is collagen and bone broths for that muscle repair magick. Greens and easily digestible proteins are your friends after a workout. See what works best for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Erna S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Before, so you can get it over and done with and also exercise gives you endorphins and endorphins make you happy and you&#39;ll feel happy the start of your day and it will set the tone for the entire day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Borut N.
