So true! I used to be one of those early morning gym freaks at 6am a few years back. I never had anything apart from half a bar of choc before working out. I work out a little later these days but no longer go to the gym because of the later opening hours. For some reason I'm no good a working out after 9.30am.

This is given a kick start to get back into things so I will set my alarm for 6am for tomorrow
