Early morning gym

I have to be at work at 6:00 so I have to go to the gym at 4 and get my start on my day. It just makes my day go better when I get up.

I'm at the gym by 5:15 am 3-4 days a week for an hour. Weekends are more around 9-10 for about 1.5 - 2 hours. I have to workout fasted. Too early to have something in my stomach.

I was going to the gym at 5am 3-4 times a week with a buddy but was struggling to be on time for the gym classes so I decided to quit the gym and try to exercise at home in the am instead. Well this is not going well. I wake up at 5:45 I make myself a coffee and sit on the couch.

Early morning workouts are new for me! I found I never had the energy after a full day of work and had a hard time sticking to actually going.

I'm on about week 3 of being up by 5 to gym from 6-7 before I head to work in the mornings. So far (and I can't believe I'd ever say this) I'm really enjoying it! I'm shooting for 3-5 days per week right now, hoping to make it a solid 4-5 in the next month or so.

Do you guys and girls who go to the gym in the early morning eat or drink anything beforehand? If so, do you allow time for digestion, etc.?

I usually eat half a protein bar with my preworkout about 15-20 mins before I go to the gym. I'm usually not hungry at the time, but sometimes the hunger hits while I'm working out and it makes me so uncomfortable!

Can't do early morning other than running, I prefer afternoon or night.

My gym opens at 5am on weekdays and 8am on the weekends. I go Friday through Monday every week. Sometimes more. Its the best way for me to start my day.
