    I've recently started working out first thing in the morning. I get up, throw on exercise clothing, have a quick cup of java and a small bowl of oatmeal with berries and protein powder, then head straight to the gym. Not enough food to make me bloated, but enough to give me energy to begin exercising. Working fairly well so far whether it's a lifting day or cardio day.

    An interesting take on why to do it, but only occasionally; http://www.runnersworld.com/running-tips/running-e
    Personally, I do it because I have to get up and out the door before I'm fully awake, or I won't go.
    couldn't agree more ! if i don't do it FIRST thing in the morning - i might not make it !

    Unless I'm running above 15 miles I can generally do it without issue provided I'm smart about dinner the night before.
