Hi Guys,
Just wanted to check out what the opinions of others are regarding morning workouts while fasted? My general go is 15 minutes meditation, 10 minutes of rope at a pace of around 100 skips/minute, limber, WOD. I’m in the beginning phases of foundation work and am working myself back up.
I do take a preworkout before going at it ( Legion Pulse, no plug) but only 1/2 serving. Let me know your thoughts and if whether I could make it better. I get up at 4:30 am btw.
I work out fasted almost every morning. Usually get up and read for an hour with a cup of coffee (which does have a little heavy cream in it), followed by 90 minutes of strength workout, followed by a post-workout shake, which is BCAA's, flax, banana, almond milk, oatmeal, spirulina. I find it's nice to have an empty stomach for workouts.
@Douglas Wadle I am an avid coffee drinker, but oddly enough I don’t drink coffee in the morning. Only on the weekends. My post workout meal is 4 Omega 3 eggs and a fish oil supplement. I never do any mainline carbs at breakfast, guess I thought that was the point when breakfast fat and protein was introduced. I was previously doing 3 eggs but was snacking up to lunch, now with 4 hunger comes around 10:30 am but I eat at 12 noon so easily satisfied with my resistance.
