What do you eat/drink before working out?

I'm wondering what others do when working out? I go to the gym in the morning after dropping my oldest at pre-school (hooray for childcare at the gym!!). This means that with rushing around I usually drink my coffee and some water while getting ready and have half a Premier Protein shake on the way to the gym. On the drive back I have the other half and then about an hour later I have an early lunch.

 

What do you do? Do you find you need more energy? Or does anyone go on an empty stomach?

 

Thanks!

Your routine sounds perfect.

I drink my protein shake on the way to my workouts and fini**** after most of the time and that works for me better than anything else I do.

I have 10 grams if protein about 75 minutes before my runs and a protein shake very soon after coming home. Eat closer to the start if a run and I will throw up on the street (guess his I know?) :) and if I eat way too long before, I feel like I'm crapoing out before the run is over. I have had up to 40 grams before a run, but typically 10 is my new "keep it light, but keep me going" amount.

and I really try to poop prior to a run.

For me, before jogging I start eating egg and lemon warm water. It makes me feel fresh and gives me energy.

I usually drink my protien shake an hour before going to gym. It gives me strength and maintain stamina at gym.

Daily exercise gives more energy to work and body fitness. It is good for health and weight control. I am maintaining the health and know that what is the benefits of reducing weight. I drink plenty of water and avoid to take junk food. It seems that I have a charm on face and skin are getting rejuvinate.

Hi,


If you want to give your workout a great boost then eat light meal before exercising.

Don't go on an empty stomach when you are going to exercise.. drink some healthy drink before workout.
