Try as I might - I am NOT a morning exercise person
And I'm not talking a mental thing! I have tried over the years to engage with morning workouts of varying intensity and I have come to the conclusion that my body just *can't*.

For ex, according to my Hotworx app, I burned 320 calories during my workout and 220 calories post workout or afterburn. 220 calories in an hr just…
