Anyone else workout first thing in the morning?

I'm not up as nearly as early as you. I get up just before 6, feed my kids and send them off to school. If I go to the gym, I usually end up there by about 7:30.

Since I have blood sugar issues, I HAVE to eat before a work out. My favorite is 1/2 cup of multigrain cheerios and 1/4 cup of almonds. I also like a piece of whole wheat toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter. In other words, a healthy carb with a little bit of protein to keep my sugars leveled.

After my workout, within the hour, I have my second breakfast. That varies from eggs, or oatmeal, cereal, something with more calories to replenish from my workout.

On the weekends, my schedule is different, and we're not up as early. I usually put my housework in as "workouts".

Of course, I never do anything without coffee in my system!

Alarm goes off at 4:45am, and I'm working out by 5:00 (I work out at home). I do not eat anything before I start, workouts are usually 30-45 minutes, and I do just fine.

Do whatever works best for you - if you feel better with a small snack before you start, go for it. Some people find they workout better with something to eat first, others find it makes them feel sick or sluggish - personal preference.

Mon, Wed, & Fri I'm at the gym by 5 am I workout until 6:30 (bodycombat & kettlebell) I usually don't eat anything before.

I get up at 5:45a most mornings and ride my stationary bike at home for 45 minutes. I check my blood sugar before I start, and I will only eat something before riding if my sugar is low. Otherwise I ride, then shower, then eat a protein packed breakfast.

My husband and I get up at 5 am. He only does cardio so he works out before he eats breakfast. I do Stronglifts but I can't really eat anything before lifting or I'll cramp up. I make my protein shake and drink that during my workout.

I'm up at 5:00 AM. I down a cup of coffee (with half and half) and a teaspoon of creatine before I leave for the gym.

I am up at 5am and work out for 30 minutes Mon-Fri at home. I do not eat beforehand because I have hypothyroidism and you can't eat for an hour after you take the meds for it. But I probably wouldn't eat anything anyway, considering i'm up so early and sleep is precious. it would take more time to make something quick and then eat, and wait a bit to workout. I don't eat anything until i'm at work at 7am. But i am fine with it. Because my workouts are only 30 minutes, it doesn't affect me. they say the fuel you need for workouts that are shorter you get from your normal day, assuming you're getting the appropriate calories. so i simply drink a lot of water when i wake up and work out.
if i did eat something, i like the idea of a spoonful of peanut butter, that someone else posted. it's quick and is a great source of protein. i've also read that a great after workout snack/drink is chocolate milk. the combination of protein and carbs is perfect they say.

edit

I exercise every day and have to eat beforehand otherwise i feel really sick. During the week im up at 5:30 and at the gym by 6:30. I normally have a smoothie or a small bowl of cereal before the gym then a protein shake afterwards. I know the difference in my energy levels if i dont eat

Cup of coffee with one splenda.

Hi!
I work out at 4:30am and I have 1/2 cup of black coffee (to wake me up) and sometimes a 1/2 of a Quest protein bar. Some mornings I need a little something in the belly. Other mornings coffee is just fin. About 5:30am I come home and cook 3-4 egg whites, and 1 protien organic waffle or oatmeal for breakfast.
This works great for me! I mostly lift in the mornings with my trainer.
Hope this helps

Alarm goes off at 0455, I drink a glass or two of water, eat a Quest Bar and I'm out the door to the office, (we have a gym). I'm usually there and starting my workout no later that 7am.

Up at 4:05am, eat 1/2c oats with soy milk, protein powder, ground flax seed, and 1/3c blueberries along with my pre-workout drink. At the gym by 5am. Workout for ~45 mins or so, protein shake right after. I can eat anytime without stomach upset. It's a blessing and a curse.

Favorite time to go for a run is as the world is waking up. It's dark and quiet when I head out and by the time I am heading home the sun is just starting to rise and the birds are singing. It's really quite beautiful. I also don't eat first but do have some coffee before heading out.
