I just recently started doing some cardio... so I'm taking it easy... I have a rebounder and am jogging on the spot... was doing fairly good when I was doing it in the evenings... about 15 to 20 minutes... I've switched to trying it in the mornings now and I just seem to run right out of steam after ten minutes...
I did eat a pear before hand and waited about 20 minutes before starting. Did I eat the wrong thing? I don't have any protien shakes...
Suggestions greatly appreciated...

some people will tell you that cardio first thin gin the morning without any food in your system is a great way to burn stores fat. It is. However if you simply do not have the energy for that try to eat a little something more substantial like a half a bagel with a tbsp of natural peanut butter or maybe a bowl of a whol grain cereal and then wait a little longer before you run. Good Luck. You should probably look into some sort of protein powder it is fairley inexpensive and will only benefit you. Good luck!

Yeah, I find I get sort of sick to my stomach if I do the am cardio on empty, too hungry when i wake up!
I have found that just some whey protein in water is enough to settle my stomach and get me through the workout.
Don't try taking a fat burner on empty before am cardio if you aren't going to eat anything, you will ralph, but I did find that when I got to the point where I was doing cardio every day, twice a dya, the fatburner stack got me through it. (don't try that at home)!

I walk 25 minutes 4-5x per week pretty soon after waking up in the morning. I have been doing this pretty much on an empty stomach. Some say eat first, some say drink a protein shake, some say it burns fat stores if your stomach is empty, some say it only burns muscle. I am kind of confused. Problem is- If I eat first and have to wait to long I will have to get up even earlier and for me that is the hardest part. Also, it is hard for me to eat as soon as I get up. It really comes down to a time problem. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Look everyone responds differently to different things. Do what is best for you. In order to find out whst that is it will be trial and error. Myself and everyone else can only make recommendations and suggest what works for us. So the right answer for you lies within. Good luck
