I do my actual workouts in the afternoons so starting my day with a morning workout is hard for me. What’s something simple I could do to get moving?

You can do some stretch on YouTube. You just need to get your body moving so some stretch in the morning will do. Wish you luck!!

I start off by getting myself out of bed and opening my blinds. I’ll then set up a comfortable, loving space for myself with either a candle, incense or infuser for triggering my senses. This small process helps me to get out of bed, look forward to my space and have a routine. I’ll slowly start with stretches such as softly rolling your neck, back twists, etc to help wake my body further into preparation for a workout. I personally do yoga at home as it is extremely beneficial and a great way to ease into exercise rather than dreading going to a gym or worrying about what I’m going to do next for the exercise. Yoga with Adriene has saved me in the past year and I highly recommend.

- Dance through a fast song. - Do jumping jacks for 1 minute - walk your driveway/stairs a few times (great for trash days) - Find a 5-10 minute exercise video on YouTube - Pinterest has lots of 2-3 minute workouts to do during a song. Pick one or make one up to your favorite tune.

Every morning I do push-ups and sit-ups. I started with 3 sets of 5 reps to get started. I find it very quick to do and there is little barrier or preparation needed to do them. I’m now up to 3 x 15 push-ups and sit-ups. It’s a start :)

If your afternoon workouts are working for you, no need to change. To each his own pace. But if you really want to do morning workouts, what worked for me is the pride you get when you’re on a streak, plus the little dance celebration I do after my workout, it’s very important to celebrate and strike a pose of victory!

I would day eating a good breakfeast takeing a bit of time to digest like reading or journaling. Then doing a short work out and fallow a guild online helps me m. Now I am doing more tageted working out but they are still short. I usually do a set of 3 excurses then rest then do the same excuses. Also looking at your self after the work out in the morning makes me feel good and keeo want to do it

Hi! If you don’t feel like doing actual exercise why not start with some stretches to get the blood flowing. You can do them while still in bed, like a small child or pets would do! Good luck ;)

What worked for me was (1) doing my morning workout in the same clothes I slept in, and (2) having a step and hand weights in the bedroom, and (3) a good consistent bpm workout playlist that I can start with a simple tap or voice command. i.e. Next to zero friction between me sitting on the side of my bed drinking my water, and the next thing being unambiguously step up step down step up step down... And once that is happening, well, might as well get into it...

I find a morning “stroll” just around the block to practice some meditation really helps to clear my mind and get me set for a good day. If there is poor weather, I will pull up YouTube and do a 10 min yoga or stretching session. I find as long as I drink my water and take the time to find a gentle 10-25 min movement exercise (even if it’s a slow stroll to the mailbox), I have a much better day. I really feel the impact now if I skip a day!

Maybe trying some quick yoga or stretching might be beneficial! I think often we think if we’re not sweating and breathless we didn’t get a good workout it but body mindfulness and breathing is so important to our bodies function and movement
