Hi all, I was wondering what everyone eats before exercising, I find I need something before I do or I am really weak and slugggish, any ideas out there? I do the curves 30 minute circuit, along with a 20 miute walk there and back. How about fiber or protien bars? Thanks.

    I think those are fine....but what I use before a run if I'm really hungry is either a piece of lofat cheese and a bit of cut up apple or the apple and peanut butter....if I eat carbs right before running I get sick....I wish I could eat almonds those are suppose to be a great snack before workouts too!

    best of luck!

    I agree with valgreg, apple and cheese or banana & peanut butter works best for me. Fruit for the sugar = energy and protein for the muscles.

    Good luck !
