I’d love to know what sort of exercises people do in the morning that are sustainable on a long-term basis without feeling like a chore.

I think the best thing is to go out to run while you’re listening to your favorite broadcast or music it’s going to make you amused especially when you have a company , good luck .

Everybody have some exercises that suit his self and me I have a lot of different exercises that I do depending on my mood. But the most important exercises that I do are yoga or stretching or either running.

MHMM wow this is tough because for me i find joy in completing my exercises :) However, in reply to your question, maybe you should try working out with someone (maybe your friends) so you probanly will not dread it as much. You could try planks:)

The kind of exercise I do in the morning that I feel like are sustainable on a long-term basis without feeling like a chore to me is, making my bed. Because I know that if I come home from having a stressful day then I would always know that at lest I am able to come home to a made bed.

I drink water first thing & skip rope for about 30 minutes & if you have a little one your daily your exercise continue there . If not jumping rope keep your heart rate going and great full body workout . Your long-term goal is something you will get to by completing all of your short-term goals. If you run a bit further every week, or add an extra workout session each week, you will obviously up your calorie burn and make it to your goals, over time.

Yoga counts as exercise and can factor into your morning stretch, plus you can do it from your bed if you’re feeling super lazy

I go for a walk with my dog, or I do some situps in my bedroom. Or sometimes I make a healthy smoothie and do some yoga, maybe at first you will not be used to it but if you keep doing them in the morning you will get used to it.

For me I like to think that if I don’t eat breakfast, I will be hungry later on in the day which will throw off my focus while being in school. If I don’t eat breakfast, I will be grumpy throughout the day.

I feel like just writing a single line that acknowledges how you feel after you have your cup of water, and a single thing you would like to have / experience today to make it a beautiful day is worth considering in the long run. For example writing « I feel a bit exhausted because of a short night. I will be going to bed a bit sooner to see if that helps. » and « Today, I really look forward to spending some time outside with the kids » or « Today, I’m excited to finish this task at work. » It’s a really simple message to yourself so you have a positive influence over how your day will go, how to better yourself and find the one thing that will bring you joy. This takes 5 seconds to do and can be scribbled anywhere and you can throw it once written, or keep it for the evening so you can cross off the joyous event of your day.

I like to dance in the morning while I change my clothes and clean. On a good day if I’m feeling motivated, I’ll use the treadmill.
