7 Tips for Getting a Morning Workout

Many people have trouble falling asleep at night if they work out later in the day. Exercise increases brain activity and adrenaline, so why not use it to your advantage and carry that alertness throughout your day instead of letting it work against you?  

But finding time to exercise in the morning presents its own set of challenges. Here are seven tips to help get you moving in the morning: 

1.   Get a good night’s rest. If you have at least 8 hours of sleep, you’ll be able to get out of bed and get going much easier.

2.   Get your gear ready the night before. This will make it much easier to get yourself ready early in the morning.

3.   Decide on your workout the night before. That way, you’ll have a clear plan to follow when you wake up.

4.   Attend a class. Many gyms offer classes that start around 6 am. No one wants to be the person who walks out during a class, so you’ll be motivated to stay until the end.

5.   Have a tasty treat waiting for you. I love a fresh cup of coffee after an early morning workout. Maybe for you it’s a smoothie or egg-white omelet. Anything that’s healthy and helps you get over the finish line will do the trick!

6.   Find a buddy. Scheduling your early morning workout with a friend will give you accountability so you’re less likely to ignore the alarm clock.

7.   Keep at it. Getting up early for exercise will become a part of your routine before you know it!
