Getting off of it.

follmer20

I've been taking oxy elite pro for awhile now. I do morning workouts and it gets me awake and ready to go. I don't drink coffee so it's my caffeine for the mornings. I know theyre bad and i shouldnt have started taking them in the first place. I really want to stop taking them but idk what else I can do to get awake and ready to workout in the mornings. Anyone have any ideas?

get off caffeine completely and in a week or two you will no longer need caffeine to function in the morning.

Use the natural ways of waking up.... have a shower as soon as you get out of bed. Try walking for 5 minutes in the cold morning air. these things wake you up enough to be able to function

What about a cup of black Tea [zero calories and has caffeine in it]....better still you could try going cold turkey on the caffeine full stop and just try starting off the day with a really, cool shower. Brrrrrrrr -
Not pleasant but better than relying on supplements to "wake" you up and get you going

Get enough sleep so you don't need something to get you going in the morning

I have. 9 month old who still gets up about 2 times in the night so I get as much asleep as I can already.

From an admitted caffeine addict. . .get away from it if you can!!! I'm stepping down now with the goal of near elimination (a glass of iced tea occassionally) starting in the new year.

When I need to be AWAKE early, I set my alarm early enough to get on the computer and check email and FB and MFP. . .reading these with the computer screen light wakes me up enough to go get dressed to work out. But, I will need my caffeine eventually!! LOL
