re: Morning workouts - wake up time/pre-workout routine??

The first week or so after converting to a morning workout can be tough, but you'll get used to it. I usually wake up at 5, get to the gym at 5:30 and do 5-10 min of cardio to help get the heart rate up. I find the cardio helps a lot, I'm not big on pre-workout drinks bc I usually crash after they wear off.
