Keep everyone active with these ideas » Today's Fitness Tip Eat breakfast for a better workout If you exercise in the morning, get up early enough to eat breakfast — at least one hour before your workout.

If you plan to exercise within an hour after breakfast, have a small snack and then refuel afterwards.	ADVERTISEMENT Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit organization.
