When I wake up,I fell very tired.I really don’t want to do anything but the moment I wake up,I drink water,and then I workout.Because I don’t really have time for that later,for me it’s better to finish it in the morning
Set your alarm earlier by the same amount of time that you want to work out and actually get up and do it. Force yourself to begin and you will feel so good later
After having a healthy breakfast in some peace & silence, I like to sit for a few minutes & centre myself. I remind myself why I want to exercise & how fortunate I am to be able to exercise. After that I put on some music to get me pumping while I get done to finally go to the gym.
Planning is the key for me. I make a lot of 10 things I have to do in the morning. I assign time estimates. that gives me a window of total time. 1. Drink water. - 1 min 2. Brush teeth - 2 mins 3. Dress for workout - 5 mins 4. Walk dogs - 20 mins 5. Run - 45 mins 6. Shower - 15 mins 7. Dress - 10 mins 8. Coffee/Breakfast - 10 mins 9. Journal - 10 mins 10. Drive to Work - 25 mins So, back planning from when I need to be at work, give me the time I have to wake. That wake up time drives when I need to go to bed to get sufficient rest. It doesn’t matter if the times are exact. Sometimes, it will take a little more time for some items, or sometimes it may take less. The point is to have some idea of what to do and keep moving thru the process. There may be kids that require attention instead of dogs. Doesn’t matter. Just plan what you want to do, give yourself time to do those things, and keep moving. The list should have a “flow” of moving in a logical direction, so you don’t have to remember so much. It will just follow from one step to another. Whenever possible, get stuff ready the night before. Pick outfits. Put out clothes. Decide what to eat. Just avoid wasting time looking for what you need to workout or wear to work. That way, you can focus on your workout and have a clear mind.
I don’t! I make time in the middle of the day when my toddler is napping. I just aim to get a little yoga in. Some mornings it’s three minutes, other days it’s ten. Just depends on the day. I figure it’s more important I do something, no matter how small, than nothing at all.
I usually start warming up by a small walk to my daughters college and back home. Then I take around 7 to 8 mins of workout.
Plan it the night before, get your yoga mat out or whatever it is you need to be prepared, wake up 20 minutes earlier and smash it!
Prepare the night before (wear any workout clothes to bed,etc), plan what time you go to sleep and keep devices away an hour earlier, wake up early, and find a step that will make your workout easier (Ex. Pulling it up on youtube the night before
First of all, you don’t have to have long and extensive workouts and your schedule doesn’t have to fit everyone else’s. I do a short morning workout and a longer afternoon workout because that fits my schedule better. That being said! The best way to make time is to wake up earlier and slowly so your body has time to adjust to waking up. First things first, the night before, choose your workout, have it open in your app, and get out everything you need for the workout. I choose low intensity workouts for the morning so I don’t usually need anything. I set my first alarm for 8:55am with a relaxing song I really like. I listen to the whole song without looking at my phone so I can calmly greet the morning. Then I drink some water and open my workout app. The workout I chose should already be there and ready to go. You can go as long as you want but I try to do at least 10 minutes. You really don’t need a long workout in the morning, I promise. Just fit your schedule! But the secret is being able to wake up earlier and slowly somyou don’t jolt your body and make yourself tired.
If I need to fit a long workout into my morning routine, I make sure to go to bed earlier the night before and wake up earlier the day of so I have time to workout and clean up before school. Generally I try to do short workouts in the morning and longer ones at night before I shower and go to bed though
