    I walk my dog every morning and sometimes we add running intervals for exercise too! Whenever I'm up earlier, I try to do a workout video before the walk/run. Hoping to start getting up around 6am for workouts (I can't imagine trying any earlier!).

    Curious what other people here do for exercise.

    I only use my phone app at that time of day, so what's best for checking in?

    I dont know how to check into groups on my phone, so I will never actually check in at 530am, I dont use the actual app until I get to work at 7am

    Hello -- my name is Lynn and I live in Richmond, VA. As I said in my post, I will only be able to walk for now as I took a tumble this past weekend and either broke or bruised my ribs -- had x-rays taken at my doctor's office yesterday. I am very excited to be in this group and hoping this is what it will take to get my backside up and exercising. :-)

    Good luck to everyone.

    Hello all, thanks for joining! My name is Stacey, I am 29, and I love to sleep! As soon as my husband leaves in the morning, all I want to do is climb back into bed. Unfortunately, I have found that if I don't work out in the morning, I don't work out all day, so I NEED to do it in the morning. I am so glad that you are all interested in helping each other out! Please feel free to give me a hard time if I haven’t checked in each morning!

    I'm Nicole, and I'm Julie's cousin. I don't log on until I get to work in the mornings, but I'm getting up at 5 AM to start working out before I head out for work.

    Good Morning, Everyone.

    My name is Monica and I've been doing early AM workouts for a few months now. I get up @ 4am, drink a cup of coffee, set my playlist, get a HUGE glass of water and get to it!

    My typical AM workout consists of the following:

    5-10 min cardio warm up
    Free weights (3 days a week)
    Cardio and/or cool down
    Stretch

    I lift 3-4 days a week, cardio only on the days I don't lift. It took me about 1-2 weeks to acclimate to getting up earlier and working out before work. Now if I don't workout I feel sluggish and tired all day.

    A couple of things that keep me motivated for my early AM workout, is I make sure my shoes & workout gear (sports bra, workout pants, HRM) are laid out the night before. I do have a few comfy tshirts that I use as workout gear and do sleep in them (takes less time to get ready for my AM workout). I also have a couple of alarms set in the event I turn off the alarm in my sleep (which I've been known to do). LOL

    Hope everyone has a great day/week!

    Just wanted to say Hello to everyone! We have all (well, most of us) been slacking a bit with the morning work-outs, who is still with me?!
