Exercise Before Breakfast
YOUR DAILY FIT TIP

Not sure when is the best time to work out? Here’s a little secret: Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Research has shown that you’ll burn more calories if you perform cardio before breakfast than if you eat first, according to a study at Kansas State University.
Another study confirmed this and found that fat loss increased only when the study participants exercised in a fasted state. Why? Because your body fasts at night when you are sleeping, and your metabolism naturally slows down because your body needs less energy.
Exercising first thing in the morning will rev your metabolism.
So tomorrow morning, throw off the covers, lace up your sneakers and take an energy-boosting power walk!

My Thoughts
Of course, I agree. I want weight loss not weight gain. But, for sure, this is going to be a struggle. To wake up early and hit the road without even coffee? That's not too bad. Except, early mornings have started to get colder. Don't you just hate getting out of a warm bed when there's a certain chill in the air? And don't you just hate failing in your weight loss goals because your decisions are all for weight gain?
