I'm doing High Intensity Interval Training in the mornings on an empty stomach, fasting about 3hrs after I wake up, so eating about 30m to 1hr after my morning workout.

Example of 1 set is say 1 min rowing machine all out (so you can barely breath when that minute is up) and 4 mins of rest, not walking around, just pure rest. Do this 8 times, I mix in 3-4 exercises to keep it fresh, and this has been incredibly effective for me.

Certainly research is starting to back this up more and more as well, quick high intensity training for me is WAY more fun than 45 mins on a treadmill.
