Dear Friend,
Yes, and No. Why, you ask? Simply, because working-out would have to be done at a very high pase, in order to achieve the same fat-loss as would be achieved with cardio. So, basically, if you are willing to do sets of 20-25 reps, with little or no break, then working out is your choice; if not, then you've got to hit the cardio in the morning.

You can probably get away with low to moderate intensity resistance training first thing in the morning on a empty stomach with depleted glycogen levels, but you're going to crash and burn if you perfrom high intensity work of any kind - especially if you're body is not use to it.
The only thing you can do is give yourself a few weeks and experiment to see how your body responds.

I do it all the time, I wake up pretty late usually like noon.
I eat 2-3 table spoon of glutamine peptides. Drink a couple cups of water. Take an ECA stack for a quick shift from wake to energized.
shower ect.. then hit the gym.
I've had no problems dying in the middle of a workout, On the days when I do manage to get up early and eat a good break fast ect... my lifts don't seem to improve or anything which means I'm not hurting my performance by doing it on an empty stomach like that.
I actually feel better lifting on an empty stomach, especially when squating.
Then again, I generally don't eat much for carbs, so that could be a reason eating or not eating doesn't seem to play much of a role in my workouts.

i think that its all in your head about weather or not your stronger in the morning or not....... some days my afternoon workouts are tougher, depending on how much i have ate and if i have given it enough time to digest
it works better in my opinion......... but that is when i am getting ready for a show......... if im not....... i work out in the afternoon...because of the abilty to concentrate all day on what im going to do.....
but like Mr.X said...... its a ton of go go go and not much time to rest
you might like it..... i chose working out in the morning over cardio anyday

well, i did it today...
i woke up, popped a couple xenadrines, drank a glass of water, then went to work out. i worked my chest and tris and i felt really good. i felt the same as when i workout later in the day after i've eaten a few meals. i think i'm gonna keep this up for a while. if i can get up early enough that is...i start a new job tomorrow and i'm not really used to waking up that early in the morning. i have a question while i'm on here...
is this a good enough breakfast to eat after i've worked out in the morning?
5 scrambled egg whites
1 packet of instant cheese flavored grits (i don't really like oatmeal)
i mix these together cause i don't really like the taste of egg whites either.
anyways, it's 192 cals/19p/22c/3f.
that good enough? my main goal is fatloss
