I do a 1 hour work out in the morning--30 minutes of intense aerobics or strength training (I'm liking the exercise ball lately), and then stretching. My morning routine looks like this (I work from home so I have flexibility): - get up and spend about 1.5 hours drinking tea, reading, chatting with partner, etc. - work out for about 1 hour. - shower and dress (takes another half hour) - prepare food (takes another half hour) So I'm up for nearly 4 hours before I eat, and I do work out during that time.
