About this listen

 You might have heard that working out before eating helps burn more fat. It’s a common claim. Some say a fasted workout, like heading out for a morning run before breakfast, boosts fat burning or even improves performance. On paper, it sounds appealing.

In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: Is it good to have aches and pains after doing sport? Why does exercise not help you lose weight? How can I keep my exercise eco-friendly? A Bababam Originals podcast written and realised by Amber Minogue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
