A.M. Workouts

Members Were Sparked

Sometimes during an early morning workout my mind starts to wander to all the things I need to do, and I start feeling exhausted, then I remind myself that because I am working out when I normally would be asleep, I am actually accomplishing more that I could imagine! Stay Positive!

MORE INFORMATION:
The 'secret' is to put yourself first, to be in the moment and make your workout count. You deserve to invest this time into yourself, and letting your mind wander to the stresses of a day that hasn't even started saps you of your strength, Do yourself a favor, and put yourself first every day.

Make Your Pile!

One of my lamest excuses for skipping my early am workout was that I didn't want to wake my husband up by rummaging around for workout clothes. So now I "make a pile" at bedtime, with everything I need right down to a ponytail holder and pedometer. So now my workout partner will send me a text that reads "MYP, 5", short for "make your pile, we're going at 5:00am tomorrow morning".
