Calling all morning exercisers for advice!

You will not feel tired...You will have loads of energy for the rest of the day....

My morning exercise actually help me wake up and stay more alert during the day. When I do feel a drag coming, I go to the gym and get that burst of energy all over again. If you can't sneak in a mid-day workout, trying just going for a mini walk. That always helps me.

Love working out in the morning. Gives me much more energy through the day. I'm currently doing Insanity so its about 60min session. I also like the fact that i then know how many more calories i need to eat through the day.

Good luck:)

I do 60 minute sessions of both cardio and strength and I never feel tired ...more energy if anything. Just make sure you eat adequate protein :-)

My personal experience is this;

I run between 5-6k every morning before going to work.
I also walk 3 miles to the nearest tube station every morning.

and repeat the same for the evening.

WOAH! You do this EVERY week day? You must be super fit!

what kind of exercises?

Running. So, cardio.

My personal experience is this;

I run between 5-6k every morning before going to work.
I also walk 3 miles to the nearest tube station every morning.

and repeat the same for the evening.

To begin with, you will feel tired as your body will get used to and adjust but that won't last for long maybe a week.
I am not a breakfast person so I never eat in the morning but I do have a big lunch.

You will be fine. Once your system get used to it, you will actually start looking forward to it.
Best of luck x

Thank you very much for your advice. You have quickly become my inspiration! (If I could run 5k, but I'm getting there!)

Thanks everyone :flowerforyou:

am touched thank you
You will soon be running 5k don't fret
you will actually be running 5k twice a day somedays trust me
the human body is built is known for its ability to adapt so given a couple of weeks your new routine will no seem hard at all

Just remember to eat well and go to bed early otherwise the tiredness from lack of sleep will make you more tired than the exercise itself and will trick you into giving up.

I am in bed by 9.30 every night and wake up around 5.30 am.
Sleeping enough hours is the key to be able to exercise in the morning - in my opinion.

thanks
good luck x

I used to have loads more energy after morning exercise...odd but works! X

Don't worry, you will not feel tired. I like others find getting my exercising done in the morning as invigorating and a good start to a day. In addition there is the added benefit that it sets you up for your entire day. It is known for some years now that exercise suppresses appetite, more particularly aerobic exercise. I found that years ago when I worked for someone else and the only time that I could find was to work out in the morning before work is that it left me energized, and when I got to work on those mornings that I went to the the gym, I was sharper than the others - this was not only my own observation, but one of my supervisor. As long as you are getting a good quality night sleep, then my experience says you should be fine.

It's all mental.

I've exercised with no sleep. With 8 hours sleep. Beginning of the day, end of the day. If I mentally amp it up, ramp it up. All is well.

Nike put it best, Just do it.

I work out every morning for about 40 mins. Sometimes it's just my stationary bike, sometimes my treadmill, but I have made myself two workout routines (core and strength) that I am going to tie into the mix so I don't get bored doing one or the other. Gotta mix it up a bit, but I am ridiculously energized for the rest of the day! Oh, a little something on your stomach won't hurt, something with high protein i.e. peanut butter, eggs etc.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone! I can't wait now. I'm just battling for energy these last few weeks. I'm finding it really hard, and that's why I am so nervous about getting up early and before work to exercise!

Do you sleep enough? Not sleeping enough make you feel run down.
