I typically do a short 15-20 minute walk, and then hold off breakfast till afterwards. But coffee does come first. Also, sometimes I fit in a super quick (like 5 minutes) of indoor cycling because even though my mornings are rushed with a toddler this gives me a burst of positive energy that makes me move more throughout the day. It doesn’t take much to be really effective! And I’m more likely to do a longer bike session at night when I start the day right
I like to eat breakfast within the first 30 minutes of being awake and get that out of the way. I will say that making sure I eat breakfast every day no matter what is a new thing for me and I’ve noticed a big change in my mood throughout the day just eating breakfast every morning. I exercise an 1-2 hours after I’ve been awake. What works for me is an exercise regimen by week. For instance, one week I’ll do the elliptical for 30 minutes and lift some weights and then the next week, I’ll focus on strength training or core training, that way I don’t get SO BORED with either but also I don’t have to decide what random workout to do everyday.
Yoga or walking. Normally not mood for high intensity workout. I eat after as it makes me hungry for breakfast, then I am able to eat more, meaning can last till lunch
I actually don’t do my exercises in the morning. I go for a walk, and I do that first thing when I get up. I walk between 1-2 miles and drink my water, then I have breakfast later with my family. I lift weights after lunch while my kids are having quiet time and I do arm and bodyweight exercises. Curls, push ups, jumping jacks, and HIIT workouts make up mostly what I do.
In the morning, I do two exercise flows, each only 4 minutes. First, I do some basic exercises and stretches to wake up my body. I follow this routine https://youtu.be/epabz6dGapw It includes planks, downward dog, squats and lunges. Afterwards, I do a quick 4 minute interval flow: https://youtu.be/ZCcX2Egirp4 That gets me going and energized for the day – plus, it gets the fat burning machine started 😉
i usually go for a run or jump rope with some free weights and body weight exercises. My morning workouts are usually in the fasted state which promotes growth hormons and really getting the most out of my intermittent fasting, i usually keep fasting for a few hours after, if i can until the afternoon
I like to vary my exercise depending on how I feel. Sometimes I want to do a challenging hiit workout. Other times I may just want to take a walk or light jog. Every week though I aim to strength train all major muscle groups at least twice a week. And stretch every time I work out. I have to have a small breakfast before working out for energy. Fruit usually and a handful of nuts.
I don’t usually do an exercise, I just woke up and then eat breakfast. Late breakfast to be exact. My usual breakfast are coffee and bread
In my ideal world I exercise for 30 minutes every morning after I drink water and after a cup of 1/2 caffeine coffee. Mon/Wed/Fri I do a full body workout with light weights/ resistance Tue/Thursday , I focus on cardio/stretching/yoga. I like to use a balance board and the elliptical. Sat/Sun, I walk or hike at a more relaxing pace at various times of the day as my schedule allows.
I use Just Dance Now as a method for morning exercise. If you play two songs it will be on average of 8 minutes. And I do this routine before breakfast because for me it works just better that way. It doesn’t mean that it’s advised. You can check out for yourself what works best or not.
