Believe it or not, there are some negative side effects associated with bounding out of bed and exercising on an empty stomach first thing in the AM. If you're doing really rigorous forms of exercise, such as long bouts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), you may find that your performance begins to flag. "It is not possible to mobilize fat stores and burn enough fat during higher-intensity exercise to provide a steady state of fuel, so once the body runs out of carbohydrates, it will no longer be able to continue working at that intensity," as Katie Kissane, R.D., C.S.S.D., a sports nutritionist and the owner of My Nutrition Coach in Fort Collins, CO, explained to Men's Journal.

If you're curious to know the amazing side effects your body will experience when you head out in the morning, read on, because we've included a few of them right here.
