Does skipping breakfast boost morning workouts?
Imagine you’re a car, and breakfast is your fuel. Well, some people believe that if you skip breakfast before your morning exercise routine, you might actually go faster and farther! This is called fasting, and it means giving your body a break from food overnight to tap into its stored energy. Some studies suggest that working out in a fasted state can increase fat burning and improve endurance. But before you empty your fridge, it’s important to note that fasting isn’t for everyone. It may not provide enough energy for intense workouts or be suitable for those with certain health conditions. Plus, if you do decide to give fasting a go, make sure to stay hydrated!
