Re: Power Hour

[Teddygirl]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone of you do Power Hour in the early mornings; like 4 or 5am. If so, what do you eat before doing this workout. I work out at 5 or 5:30 am, usually doing some form of cardio; never weights. And for me to do cardio first thing in the mornings, doesn’t require any kinds of foods, just orange juice.

However, my work schedule has changed, so that means, my workout rotation(s) has to change as well. I'm being forced to do weights in the morning (g) thanks, and sorry if I asked this before.

I am one of those that worksout really early, too (3:30 a.m - sometimes 3:15 a.m. when I do BodyMax). I only drink Orange juice with water about 5-10 minutes before beginning the workout for either PH or cardio. I cannot handle food at that time and don't really have time to "digest" it. Otherwise I would have to get up earlier! No can do!

Take a break, "slurp" ;-) the coffee, be nice to yourself and others and enjoy your life...Runathon http://www.plauder-smilies.de/happy/coffee.gif[/img]

Same here! I work out so early that most times I have nothing more than a cup of coffee prior to working out.

Although I do remember when I first started with weights I use to have a cup of green tea and a nutrigrain bar/granola bar of some sort, but I have since abandoned that. I don't seem to need anything on my stomach if its early enough or I begin my workout soon enough after I wake up.

Thanks guys for replying, okay, for the first time ever, I'm going to try it. As a matter of fact, I have PH on my rotation for Wednesday morning. I'm going to try it with a little OJ.

I'm thinking it should be okay, cuz, I'm not lifting very heavy with PH the most I use is 40lbs, Thanks again ;o)

Can you tell us how it felt for you? I would like to know as I dread the idea of working out so early in the morning to something like that.

Do you eat straight afterwards?

Hi Yen

I'll let you know how it goes. I did Power Hour yesterday, I'm actually doing a 4 week PH rotation; or, up until the new series come. I am now on my second week of PH. So far, good, I'm doing PH 3 times a week, and loving it. It is truly an excellent workout.
