"Set your alarm for 6am. Don’t groan when it goes off and pull the covers over your head, get up and start your day. Put on a baggy top and running shorts. Go downstairs and pour yourself a nice big glass of ice water. Cut up some fruit and mix it in with yogurt. Add some granola. Now go outside. Stretch for 10 minutes. Skip for 5 minutes. Jog for 10 minutes. Run for 10 minutes. Walk back. Lay out a towel on the ground and lie down on it. Do 50 crunches. Yes, they hurt, but they are 100% worth it. When you’re done, get in the shower. Use a nice smelling shampoo and matching conditioner. Shave your legs and wash your body. Exfoliate your face. Get out of the shower and let your hair air dry. Look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? If you do, good for you. Do this every day and you will continue to love yourself. If you don’t like what you see, do this every day and pretty soon you will. Being lazy might feel good at the time, but being active feels better in the long run. How badly do you want it?"

I find it is easier to do solo based exercises (going to the gym, swimming laps) in the morning.
When I exercise in the evening, it is often playing a sport with others. I have taken either morning or evening exercise classes.
Working out soon after waking up feels good to me.0 -
I am going to try and start a routine and see if I can't find one that works for me. I have always been a big .. I will do what I want when I want .. kind of girl ..lol. As I get older .. and the energy is fading .. that isn't working out so great for me anymore. It is way easier to take a nap..lol.0

Yeah, sounds great but my alarm is already set for 6am, any earlier and I'd need to go to bed before it even gets dark out...yeah not gonna happen. I like the concept but sometimes you have to work with what fits in your schedule.0

OH, I wish I could go back to the days when I thought that... except for me, it was more like 10a.m.
When school is in session, I already get up at about 5:15a.m. to get myself and the kids up and ready, so, nope, I'm not getting up at 4a.m. to do all of that!0 -

Seriously. I do not get enough sleep as it is - getting up earlier and getting less sleep is not going to happen. I am a girl who needs 8-10 hours of sleep, I get around 6 or less on average.0 -
I BARELY make it out the door. I've tried, but I'm a night exerciser.0
