If the best time for you to work out is early in the morning, but, like me, you begrudge getting up sooo early . . . get everything ready the night before. For example, I work out to , so I make sure the DVD is in the player before I go to bed, my water bottle is full and in the fridge, my work out area is clear and I go to bed in my work out clothes! The only thing I have to worry about is getting up and exercising . . . no worry about all the prep!

It really works! I pack my gym bag with wrinkle-free work clothes, towel, etc. and put my workout clothes on the chair so that I can find them without even turning on the light. Unlike SHANNONY84, I find that my legs and back hurt LESS if I workout at the beginning of the day. (Maybe I sit up straighter for the rest of the day.) Furthermore, the other early gym users are so friendly. Regardless of age, gender, or anything else, they all say "Good morning!"

Anything to make it easier!

This is so true! But then my legs kill me throughout the day!
I get up so early (5:30 am) that getting up even early during the work week seemed daunting. So, my five days starts on Saturday mornings! So two early mornings aren't really all that early. On the weekends, I can sleep in until 7 am and still get a good morning workout in. Once I started this...the exercise excuses disappeared! 401
If people only ate when they felt true hunger, few of us would struggle with our weight. So why (and where) are we eating so much, and what can we do about it? Start here.
, so I make sure the DVD is in the player before I go to bed, my water bottle is full and in the fridge, my work out area is clear and I go to bed in my work out clothes!
