Hi guys - I'm in too! I'm up every week day at 5:50, so that I'm downstairs exercising at 6
M/W/F I do ChaLEAN Extreme + a stretch, or a turbofire HIIT
T/T/S I run on my treadmill followed by a stretch
Sunday I could do nothing, or maybe a long stretch, or sometimes even a run!
"See" you all tomorrow morning.
Steph
P.s Friend me if you'd like - I always post my workout before I shower at 7am!0 -
Up again, strength training today. Can really feel it!0
-
Up at 5:50 - couldn't actually walk because of my sore calves, so collected all of hubby's cups from around the house, washed them up, had a quick foam roll and went back to bed 0

How early are you going to bed to achieve getting up at 6am? Are you napping during the day? I want to get up at 4am (!) to go to the gym before work (I start work at 6.30am) but I've only managed it a few times. Going in the afternoon or evening the gym is packed to the rafters.
Would love to get into this up with the lark habit - please tell me your secrets! 0 -
In bed by 22:30 read for a bit, alarm goes at 5:45 snooze tastic for 20mins and up and out.0

Another swim session done, such a nice feeling when your munching on breakfast after that the meal has cost you nothing in terms of calories. (That is of course if you have done enough exercise)0

How did everyone else do today? 0 -

I get to the gym at 6am 3 x week (get up at 5.30am). Make sure you go to bed a reasonable time (I sound like my mum!!) and when your alarm goes off, don't give yourself an option - GET UP. The first time you avoid your early morning session you're setting yourself up for disaster - if you do it once, what's stopping you doing it again?! Put your gym clothes and shoes near your bed so it's the first thing you see when you wake up. Maybe even think about who your role model is in terms of having the body you're striving for - you won't get that body if you don't workout (and eat right!) It will soon become part of your routine. There is nothing wrong with an afternoon nap if that's what you need. Such a good feeling when you get to work knowing your workout is done for the day 0 -

I switched the kettle on for a cuppa at 6.15....
Back at it on Monday, honest! 0 -
Up and out for run before six....now back and having a cuppa.0

Welcome back
Great swim for me this morning, 30mins, should have done more as i had the time, but went for a sauna instead.0 -
In the gym at about 6.02am today (I know - I'm angry at myself for being late too!). Started a new regime today - going for full body weight training rather than a split route. Hopefully this will speed up the fat loss! Anyone else doing this? Got any good workouts to do 3 x a week? My plan at the moment is to do pull exercises on a Monday (e.g. straight leg deadlift, bicep curl, pullups, etc), push exercises on a Wednesday (e.g. dips, tricep extension, bench press, etc) and leg exercises on a Friday (e.g. squats, leg press, lunges, leg extension, etc). Will also do 4 ab exercises each time.0

Glad you stuck to your promise!! You deserve that cuppa. Enjoy x :drinker:0 -
The 5*5 is three sessions a week, think i will start this June once this bloody sprint triathlon is out of the way.0

Heard a lot about 5x5 Stronglifts. My plan is to do 3 x 8-12 where I can complete at least 8 reps, but not complete more than 12. I will do this for about 4 weeks, then move to higher weights, doing 3 x 6-8, then moving on to 3 x 4-6. I will keep you updated on progress!0 -
Morning, did same as yesterday....up and out by six.
I don't work Wed morn, so you won't be seeing me at six tomorrow!!
Till thurs, have a good one!0 -
Back on it after my week off work!! In the gym for 6.40, (will try harder to get there a bit earlier tomorrow) found it a struggle tbh, amazing how much harder it is after you have a break!!0
-
Hi guys. rubbish week last week with no gyming! back this week though, been monday and tuesday morning. Will go tomorrow if i can still walk haha!0
-
Grrrr, have pulled a muscle in my lower back lifting yesterday so I decided to sit it out this morning and set my alarm for a bit later. What happened? Woke up at 5.30am as normal!!! LOL
So I just laid there waiting for the alarm to go off at 6.15am!
Back does feel better today, but I just don't want to risk it. Will see how it feels tonight so hopefully I'll be back on it tomorrow.0 -
Swim for me this morning, didnt feel like it one bit after another 5k run last night..
I seem to wake up naturally at 5 ish atm then the brain is busy for 15mins then when the alarm goes off at 6 i am in deep sleep again and cant wake up for 20mis, I really dont want to be up and walking about at 5am 0 -
Second day of my new workout routine this morning. Went well. Today was 'push' day on the weights:
Bench press
Shoulder press
Tricep extension
Tricep pushdown
Dips
Followed by an ab workout.
Shoulders are pretty sore now as you can imagine! Back to the gym tonight for kettlercise.
Apologies to you all but I will be going to the gym at 7am tomorrow!! Unfortunately I don't have a choice as the gym isn't open at 6am on Tuesday or Thursdays0 -
6am run done.
Looking forward to tomorrow being last of week0 -
Went to the gym at 7am this morning as planned (going away tomorrow so had to change my 6am Friday workout to today). Never again! I felt so rushed and wasn't able to do everything I had planned. Gym did seem quieter than when I go at 6am MWF which was strange...
Anyway, back to my normal schedule next week!0 -
Made it for 6.30 am today yaayy!! Have noticed the gym getting a bit quieter lately - think the post-Christmas rush may have eased off lol!0
-
Yay, last early morning run of week done..so lovely that it's light when I go out now.
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
All done here as well, swim done another mile in the bag,0
-
Another one done So glad I didn't go the gym last Friday, apparently they had a fire alarm going off and they had to evacuate - just around the time that I would have been in the shower!!! 0
