Morning workut people

How much are are you eating?

I hav been getting up between 5 and 5:30 am I try to do an hour of Wii Zumba or some strenght training. I sit at a desk all day and have to get up and move around to stay awake somedays but usually a good cup of coffee helps I also go to bed between 9:30 and 10 at night so maybe this helps
Are you sleeping at least 8 hours a night ?

Nope. I work out after work. Early mornings and me do not mix.

Hello!

Every so often I decide that I'm going to be one of those people who does their workouts in the mornings. I do this for a couple days and then I end up super tired by lunchtime. I end up going home and crashing super early. Anyone else have this issue? How do you stay awake through the workday?

Thanks! :flowerforyou:

for me i like doing it in the morning just because it helps to wake me up, although when i first started training in the morning i got really tired for the first few weeks or so but as my body became accustomed to it i started be more and more energetic, u just need to get used to it, then it becomes easy

Working out in the morning improves my energy levels. I feel more awake and ready to go for the day. Make sure you are fueling your body by eating properly. This should help you to not feel so tired.

Caffeine and activity! I get up at 4 am, workout, then leave house around 6 to get to work, then after checking email, between 7 & 8, I walk about 10 minutes to get an espresso coffee drink to really get the energy going. I try to walk a few minutes at lunch to get energized again, and by 2 or so, I either grab a diet drink or another coffee which takes me through to the end of the day. I typically wind down and head to bed around 8:30 or 9 for some reading or light tv with the goal of being asleep before 10, so I can start all over again.

One great thing about morning workouts, is you KNOW it's done and nothing is going to happen to derail you from it, plus you know those calories burned are in the bank, so you don't have to worry about overdraft if you eat based on calories you "think" you're going to burn later.

I tried the whole morning work out. I found that I cant work out as efficient in the mornings. My body doesn't wake up very fast.

My evening work outs were so much more effective than my morning ones ever were.

Sometimes vitamins helps me. I workout in the morning. Some days I be tired before lunch. Goes 2 bed before sun down, but on the days I do zumba. Its kind of odd for different ppl

I do it in the morning too, but it's really the only time I can. I've always been a morning person though, so it's not hard for me. As long as I go to bed at a decent hour the night before.

I used to have problems pooping out after (or even towards the end of) my morning workouts, but I increased my daily protein intake and BAM problem solved.

I get up at 5:20am, feed the cats, check my emails and then drive to the gym near work for 6:30am when they open. 30-40min work out, quick shower and the drive to work where I'll have a strong black coffee and a granola bar for breakfast at around 7:45am. That usually sees me through until lunch. I'm not usually tired at work (although don't like the achy arms I get after a weights session!) but am usually in bed for around 9:30pm on a week night. I've always been a morning person and since I started working out I've cut back on my work hours slightly (unpaid overtime in effect because I used to get in around 6:45-7am). I get up 10mins earlier as well but for me its worth it. I just wish the gym opened earlier so I could get a longer workout in as I'd get up at 5 to be at the gym for 6 if I could.

I have been working out every morning for about 5 months but before that I used to walk 30 - 45 minutes at the same time. I'm up at 4:50,at the gym by 6:30. Usually work out until about 8 then I go shower and head to work. I pick up a coffee on the way which I rarely ever drink due to being busy at work.

I sleep roughly 5-7 hours per night depending how tired I am but I am one of those people that seem to be able to function without issues on less sleep. It may help that I am also a morning person (as much as I don't want to be!)

I don't have any issues with energy as far as I can tell but I also have a good breakfast with both protein and carbs - I eat probably a good 500 - 800 calories before noon and the rest for dinner and late night snack (if I have anything left).

If you are tired it is likely for one of a few reasons:
-You aren't eating enough protein
-You aren't getting enough sleep
-You are just NOT a morning person (there are people who just can't function well until at least 9 or 10am) If you are one of those no amount of caffeine/sleep/food will make you be able to work out in the morning without hating every minute of it.

I get up at 5:30 to do my workout. Right now I'm doing T25. After my shower I have a Shakeology shake. I feel more energized all day when I get my workout in first thing. I agree on wondering about your nutrition.
