Clen is fickle. For some it reduces respiratory output, for others (like Ephedra use) output is enhanced, and for still others it has no affect. Find out how it works for you.
I'd rather not take the clen, then work out immediately...
Why?
Also, do you all think i should eat first?
Physiologically speaking, and this works better in theory than in practice but, energy is stored in three hierarchically accessed places– bloodstream glucose (primary); liver glycogen (secondary); fat cells (tertiary). A good workout exhausts blood sugar and most of the glycogen, which is why the post-workout meal is so readily absorbable. Now…a traditional dinnertime in conjunction with a good night’s sleep creates a pseudo-fasting state that nearly exhausts the first two altogether. Consequently, an empty stomach-morning workout permits the near immediate access of stored fat – the goal of fat loss. Again, the principle is more promising than the prospect.
I always hear mixed reviews..this is going to be like a cardio workout (the insanity workout )...so, i would assume I should eat something first....any help?
This is your call. I do both, but when I perform significant early/empty stomach cardio I use a synthetic, “calorie-free” energy source namely, Ephedra. Test both eating and not eating to see what works best for you.
