Going to Vent a little

ok so ur prepared night before, maybe gym is intimidating to you? maybe just try walking or running in place @ home?or put in earbuds & say screw what you think anyone else is saying. most people @ gym are in their own worlds so theyre focused on themselves really.u can do this! exercising gives u a huge energy boost & sounds like with ur hectic morning u could use it;)

You're not lazy. It's simply your habitual routine to get up later and as the song goes...you're a hard habit to breeeeeeak.

Keep at it.

Or workout in the evening when the kids are in bed. Personally, I hate working out early in the morning.

It's hard. I've been doing this for 90 some days and i still inchworm/roll my way out of bed.

I gave up on working out in the morning...you read so often that it is the best time, but not if you can't get there and then feel bad about it! What about going to the gym on your way home in the afternoon? pack your gym bag and have it in the car.

Keep going to bed early... eventually you'll catch up on sleep and hopefully be more inclined to get up when that alarm goes off. GIve it a week of 8:30 - 6:00 with no intention of getting up early though haha.

I've said it before: every time I tried to force my exercise early in the morning, I would flame out after a few weeks. My natural predilections are to stay up late and sleep until the last possible minute.

I have been very successful working out over lunch or in the evening. This option doesn't seem to get a lot of love around here, but I'm a firm believer. My workouts are better and more intense, too.

Meh; workout whenever it works for you. The important thing is being able to work it into your schedule somewhere so that you can reach your goals.

Why do you have to go to the gym in the morning? Is that the only time available or is it because you think you should? I personally would NEVER get up that early to work out, it's just not worth it to me! ^_^ Why go to the gym at all? There's lots of things you can do at home, such as after your kids go to bed. There's tons of free videos on Youtube for exercise and unless the gym has a specific machine you need to use, you might find the videos easier to fit into your day.

Why not flip your routine? Instead of getting up extra early to go to the gym, why not just go to bed later? Instead of getting up at 4:45 - which is tough, then going, coming back, showering, off to work. Why not try doing it before bed? I also tried working out at lunch time, and driving to the gym from work, but I found one I showered, etc, I only had time for a 30 minute work out, and it seemed like a whole lot of effort!

I can not get up before 6 on a regular. I tried it and end up sleeping through the alarm. I will even shut it off in my sleep. Mornings are hard. So for me after work is better generally, but lately had trouble with that so moved to mornings. Now I do a combination and plan it.

I get up in the morning when I can, if not then after work. I can workout at home or gym, but if I go to office and want to workout at gym then I take clothes with me and go straight to gym. My job also doesn't allow for sameness and I have adjust accordingly. I also don't have a life generally that lends itself to same thing always, so I have to balance accordingly.

Like today, planned to go to gym in the morning, snooze button, over and over, finally got out of bed 2 hours later. No gym. I am working from home today, back to back meetings all day. So after work I need to walk to CVS, then will come back, clean and lift See a plan to make sure I am moving.

Be flexible and creative and keep going
