As soon as I start opening my eyes, i think about the exercises I need to do, and as soon I get out of bed I go and exercise. Otherwise my mind wonder, and I start to think that I don’t want to do it
On YouTube you will find 8-10 minute exercise videos exactly with this purpose in mind. Those with a combination of cardio and (core) muscle training (that can be intensified or less intensified depending on ones capabilities, and if you have downstair neighbours or not), definitely got my heart rate up
The most effective time for me to exercise in the morning is taking only 5 minutes to do rope jump in which will make my blood pumping through out my body. Whenever I have more time then I will do more exercise like push ups, punching bag like boxers for only upper body exercise. You could invest in a treadmill to run in 5 minutes to 10 minutes inside your house but remembering to open your windows to get clean oxygen coming in your room!!!
Well the best time is after washing your face directly don’t be aggressive with yourself cuz you are going to hate that but if you chose the perfect exercises for you and you did it early in the morning it will keep you well energized
It depends on your health condition and interests. I’ve done T25 and HIIT but those are high impact. Now that I can not do those anymore so I do zumba or low impact. I’m using Fiton and I can browse excersices by category and duration.
I am out of shape and need to lose weight but some mornings, it’s difficult to find the time. A good stretching session feels really good in the morning. However when I have time a workout is better.
I prefer a 15min yoga session in the morning as I find it gentle. Plus the stretching focus of yoga is great to prepare the body for the day. If you prefer a more cardio intensive workout, just do a 15 min HIIT session. You can try Downdog HIIT or YouTube channels like Joe Wicks the body coach.
I like to stretch before working out then doing a warm up because that gets my body ready to be active. In my warm up I do jumping jacks and burpees because that gets my blood flowing. For my workout I like to do ab workouts like crunches V-ups and Ruskin twists. Then leg workouts like squats, lung switch’s and flutter kicks. Then I like to do arm workouts with weights.
The most time effective morning exercise for me is to select an exercise for each major body area - arms, legs, and stomach. Then, do a comfortable number of each. And, repeat that 3 times. For example, 10 bicep curls, 15 squats and 25 sit ups. Then repeat 3 or 4 times. Finish with stretching and a few minutes of cardio depending on time. Cardio choices depend on what is practical. At home, I have an elliptical machine that was a job bonus. At a campground, I may do a short jog or walk. If the outdoors are not safe, I put on socks and slide side to side like an ice skater!
For me it is running. I prepare the clothes the day before, so when I wake up I can get dressed and ready in less than 2 minutes.
