Early Workout

Members Were Sparked

I try to work out firstthing when I wake up. I eat a piece of fruit to keep my sugar up and then head to the gym. I read that this helps because you are burning more fat and not something that you ate earlier in the day

Throw off the duvet!

When your alarm goes off in the morning for an early workout, throw your blanket/duvet/comforter off your body before you have a chance to think about it. That way, when your mind starts to argue to stay in bed, your body will have to get up because otherwise you'll get cold lying where you are.

Set Monthly Goals.

Write down a list of goals for the month. Target some habit you want to control, and little by little work up to your goal. For example, one month I had a goal of morning workouts. The first week my goal was simply to wake up a half hour early three times a week and take a ten minute walk around the block. Each week, I tweak the goal a little, until I get closer or at where I want to be. I put up a log on my fridge to monitor my progress.

MORE INFORMATION:
For example, I'll get up earlier, workout longer, or do it more times in the week. By the end of the month I've worked up to getting in a 30 minute workout 5x in the week.

I've also worked on getting my calories in range, and watching less TV.

Writing you goals and breaking them down, works!
