What should you eat before a morning workout?  You want energy and endurance but you don’t want to feel full or fatigued. Here are some excellent options to give you energy and stamina before working out in the morning. Coffee I’m a bit  of a coffee addict, especially the Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice.  The good news is that a little caffeine can be a good choice prior to your workout. Because caffeine is a stimulant it increases your heart rate which in turn increase blood flow throughout the body. By increasing stamina and reducing fatigue, coffee can be a help for both short, intense workouts or longer endurance sessions.

Powerbars have come along way over the years. Remember those early bars that looked like something from the NASA lunch menu? With so many on the market it can be difficult to make the right choice when selecting an energy bar.

I love these! Oh well, time to make a better choice.
