10 Reasons To Exercise In The Morning

If you suffer from lack of motivation to workout regularly & consistently, I suggest building exercise in the morning into your daily routine.Get up & do something physical to kick start every day!

Some days, a 10-minute walk may be all that you can fit in, other days a 20-minute intensive workout will hit the spot, or a long run if you have time.

Early bird exercise: the benefits

1. The vast majority of people who exercise consistently choose the early morning slot for workouts. Bagging this section of the day means there is less chance of a hitch (or excuse) arising to stop you doing it.
2. Ambitious at work? Exercising before you hit the office will give you mental focus & ‘the eye of the Tiger’ to perform at your best.
3. Exercising early in the morning boosts your metabolism for hours, which helps you burn more calories throughout the day.
4. Getting a rush of adrenaline & endorphins straight after getting up means you really do ‘rise & shine’ & feel more full of energy to deal with those high maintenance kids all day….
5. Exercise gives you a healthier frame of mind – you’re more likely to make good food choices if you start the day with a workout.
6. Early morning exercise can quickly become something to look forward to, a moment of clarity before daily stresses take hold.
7. Exercising first thing is the only way to be sure that something else won’t crop up that kicks your workout off the agenda.
8. Getting your blood pumping boosts your circulation & gives you a blooming complexion. After your shower, you’ll look radiant!
9. When you get home from work, your evening will be your own – time to be with your family, eat nice food, & power down.
10. You’ll sleep better with daily exercise licked… If getting up early to work out helps you establish a routine, a better sleep pattern will follow.

So, next time you say, “I didn’t have time to exercise today”, be honest – if you’d have got up 30 minutes earlier, you could have made time, right?

It’s pretty magical really… you can add time to your day without squeezing anything out! &, though you think you need that 30-minutes kip more than you need to be up with the larks, sweating through a workout, you really don’t.

You won’t feel more knackered for starting an early morning exercise routine, if anything you’ll be energised. & you’ll feel rested because you’ll be sleeping better (and perhaps even making it to bed a bit earlier).

Try it, it will all fall into place, & you will reap huge rewards.

Let me know how you get on.
