Morning workouts

The way I get it done is I just tell myself the sooner I start, the sooner I will get done. Also, it seems like when I get 10-15 minutes in, I'm not dreading it anymore. You just have to tell yourself that's the worst part to get through, and 10 minutes isn't long at all... But after about 5 minutes the tiredness wears off. I also eat something small to wake myself up a little and get my metabolism going. But mostly just knocking out a workout for the day motivates me enough to do it, and it's the only time I really have to work out. Hope this helps!

I go to classes at the gym and also make appointments with people to meet them places. Then I have no choice. If it's something where I have no set time to start, then I always skip it in favor of more sleep.

I did this for a while before I decided that working out in the mornings mostly doesn't work for me though. :laugh: I was getting up at 5am and going to bed at midnight! This is because I also have evening workouts and, by the time I got home, caught up on email, ate dinner, etc. it was just too late at night.

I still do morning workouts on Wed., Sat and Sun. mornings but my Sat. morning workout starts at 9am and my Sun. morning one is at 10am. That helps a lot.

I'm having the same problem of getting up in the mornings. I need to get up at 5am and get it over with. I work 7-5 and by the time I get off work i'm too exhausted to even think about working out and i have to cook dinner and all that jazz. I'm just so sleepy in the mornings! darn that snooze button! They need to make alarm clock without them! I need an alarm clock that refuses to turn off!

Do a class at the gym so you don't even have to think! Get all your stuff ready the night before too (workout clothes, work clothes, lunch, etc). or... if you are working out at home do AM YOGA, its geared towards helping you wake up through various stretched and breathing. Also, have fruit right when you wake up, it'll give you energy!
