Do you get up at 5:30amish to workout?

Wow, I'm in awe! Your all amazing!

I usually work out in the morning.. I haven't been able to this week because I'm sick!

I love getting a workout done in the morning because sometimes if I wait until after work, I'm not in the mood to, or other things come up that I have to do instead. So when I get it done in the morning, my day is set and I feel awesome and energized.

I make sure I have my gym bag packed and ready to go. Or, I gather my workout clothes, my mat and weights with the DVD I am going to work out to.. less time to waste or make up excuses as to why I can't workout.

If I wake up early, I make sure I go to bed at a decent hour. If I wake up at 5:30, then I try to be in bed by 10-10:30pm. I need sleep and sleep likes me!

Depending on my schedule, I get up between 430-515 to work out so I can be ready to get my daughter and myself out the door by 730. I dont enjoy getting up that early, but I know that by the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is workout, so i have to do it early. I have been doing this for years. Thats what works for me!!!
Try going to bed by 10 and getting up at 530. Once you get used to it, it will be no different then getting up at 7!

Also I have my alarm clock across the room so snoozing is not an option. Workout clothes are laid out on the dresser.

I don't get up that early. I get up at 6 or 6:30 though often for working out.

The thing that gets me out of bed is - i say to myself when I don't want to "i will never regret having gotten up and worked out. I will regret sleeping in."

I also don't do it every day. Sometimes i enjoy sleeping in.... til 8 or 9! LOL, why is that sleeping in anymore?!

I try to go to sleep at least a couple times a week by 10:30 too. That helps. A lot easier to get up than if I go to sleep at midnight!

My alarm goes off at 4:05 a.m. I have four children -- two of whom I have to help get ready for school -- and I also do typing work from home that I have to have completed before I leave the house to go to my bricks & mortar job. My attitude has been very enthusiastic and positive regarding working out -- a point that took a long while to get too -- and that's what gets me out of bed every morning. I make sure I get the right nutrients to fuel my body and I usually feel very good when I get up.

I'm doing Insanity. I'll be completing my 2nd week tomorrow. My main motivation is that I want to complete this program once and see what kind of results I get. It's a challenge to me. It was my motivation when I went through the EA Sports Active 2 9-week program.

I'm having a hard time with this too. I need to get up at about 5:15 to give myself time to wake up before I go into the cold dark basement to reclaim my treadmill from the laundry pile. What time zone do you live in? Maybe we could start texting each other at 5:15. I've managed to get up a few times but I have to have everything ready and know exactly what I need to do. I was even sleeping in my workout clothes so all I had to do was put my shoes and heart rate monitor on and eat a banana.

I would really like to start getting my workout in before work as well, I find after work I don't put as much effort into it as I would in the morning. My question is what time does everyone go to bed to get up that early?

I'm usually asleep by 9 p.m., after my two little ones are down for the night.

This might sound funny/horrible but this is how I lost 30lbs first time around and this is how I am doing this time around to drop my pregnency weight. I drag my stationary bike from the basement and put it in the room next to my bedroom.At 4:30 I brush my teeth and drag myself to the bike and start pedalling. Once started I keep going. I do this every day in the begining till it becomes a habit. I am trying to incorporate pre workout snacks but find it difficult. You would think climbing down flight of stairs to get to bike/treadmill is much easier than getting to a gym. Apparently even that is very difficult in my case. Having a machine next to me where I can hop in it with my eyes half closed was the key.

I get up at 5AM M-F to work out. I just go down to my living room, but it's the only time this busy work-at-home mom of 3 can fit in any real exercise. I made excuses for years saying I just couldn't do it (get up early). This year I finally just did it and I absolutely LOVE that hour before anyone else is up in the house. It's the only ME time I have all day... and it's glorious!

The 5:30 Amish sound like a tough crowd! Wocka wocka!

Okay, serious time now. I would recommend easing yourself into it. Go to bed a half hour earlier than you do now, and get up a half hour earlier than you do. Once you feel adjusted to that add and subtract half hours from waking up and sleeping until you're awake and asleep at the desired time.

For all of you who get up this early to work out, do you mind posting what time you go to bed? thanks!

Im usually in bed by 930, 10 at the latest.

You just get up and do it. I get up at 5 if its a day I'm working (12 hours shifts), and 5:45 if I'm not working. I go to sleep in my workout clothes. Although, unlike other people who say they feel great all day - I'm really tired :-)))

I'm definitely an early exerciser. Walking around my neighborhood is my workout and that's the only time it's quiet enough that I don't have to worry about dodging people, dogs, and cars. Since I started my routine a year ago I had been getting up at 5:15 a.m., and was usually out the door 20-25 minutes later. It was hard at first but once I started seeing results (toned legs/backside, disappearing love handles) that was enough motivation for me to keep going. Last week I decided to add another mile to my walk, for a total of 3.25 miles, so now I get up 20 minutes earlier. While that doesn't seem like it's that much earlier my body hasn't quite gotten used to it yet...I'll start crashing a little bit by mid-morning but a little moving around the office snaps me out of it. Being that the change coincided with the switch to Daylight Saving Time probably didn't help. I'm sure I'll have completely adjusted by next week.

I usually try to be in bed by 10-10:30. Earlier bedtime isn't an option as I don't get home from work until 8:30 and I need to have dinner and a little downtime.

My workout routine is strictly a weekday affair as I love sleeping in on the weekends too much.

Up at 4:20 and in bed usually between 8:30 and 9:30pm here!
No kids, but I work hard all day and do house work from 4pm till bed most nights! Well with the occasional show stoppers like biggest loser, etc. )
