Finding the time to fit in a good workout in your day can be a workout in and of itself. Between work, school, taking kids to after school activities, making dinner, and binge-watching your favorite show, you can spread yourself thin. But exercise is important<\/a> and you shouldn\u2019t deny yourself the opportunity to be fit and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are an early riser, you may be able to squeeze in a morning workout. It isn\u2019t easy for everyone to wake up at 6 a.m. and making breakfast<\/a> that early takes time and energy as well. There will always be a debate on whether or not you should eat before or after you exercise. People have their own philosophies on this, but we are here to tell you that it is better to eat before you work out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working out on an empty stomach can result in low blood sugar<\/a> and dizziness. People will argue that you can burn more fat when you exercise before eating. While there is truth to that, you also burn muscle mass when you deprive the body of fuel before exercising. Additionally, if you exercise on an empty stomach, you may lack the energy reserves to burn sufficient calories. Then the workout isn\u2019t productive or beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you exercise, the body uses sugar from cells for energy. If you don\u2019t eat before you work out, the body burns through those sugars very quickly and begins burning fatty acids from fat stores<\/a> in a process called lipolysis. This sounds good, but those who don\u2019t eat before a workout don\u2019t have the same stamina as those who eat before a workout. This means that you actually don\u2019t burn all that much fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t get through a workout without a breakfast boost, make a fresh fruit & vegetable smoothie<\/a>\u00a0with vegan protein powder<\/a>\u00a0and raw almond butter<\/a>. If you struggle with getting up in the morning, then it may be beneficial to prepare your breakfast the night before a morning workout. Smoothies are a great way to get a boatload of nutrients in your body to start the day. Acai bowls with granola or smoothie bowls<\/a>\u00a0are also great breakfast options before exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have fuel to get you through your morning workout, you\u2019ll find that you exercise more efficiently. You won\u2019t be lazily going through the exercises; rather, you\u2019ll be attacking your workouts with more energy and you will feel like a new person in the process. Start your day off right with a meal and a workout routine!<\/p>\n
