Do you eat before or after a workout?

I do my aerobic workout before a meal. (in the morning) I drink at least 24 oz of water during my workout as well.

In the warm months we walk after dinner around the lake (5 1/2 miles) and that helps dinner digest better.

any thoughts?

    Before, otherwise I get lightheaded when I exercise.

    I eat before I exercise, but I wait thirty minutes or so if I've had a full meal. I don't like exercising on a full tummy.

    I like to eat a little something, like an apple, perhaps an hour before a workout. Since I work out after work, lunch has long passed, and since I'm diabetic, sugar levels must be maintained.

    After the workout, some protein is good. Its supposed to keep some of the soreness away, at least according to a wonderful personal trainer that I know and love!
