It gives me more energy for the day, later in the day other things get in the way of exercising and there is a lovely peacefulness to being up early especially if you exercise outside
I strongly believe that exercising in the mornings gives me a boost of energy for the day. It also helps me managing the stress at work, so I can’t skip my morning routine. But don’t forget to have a great breakfast to complement your energy!
First just get it done, because the longer it waits until later in the day, the more chance I will have good excuses not to exercise. Second it creates an "empowered" context / being for me to live for the rest of the day.
Exercising in the morning help improve your concentration, it energies you and help you prepare for a better day and eventually improve your mood, it’s also a way to make a good professional development and prospect.
I go back and forth on this. I am not a morning person. Getting my workout in certainly helps start my day off on the right foot with a sense of accomplishment and a burst of energy. On the flip side, getting moving in the morning can be tough and I find early to mid afternoon a better time for me most days.
I think working out in the morning kickstarts your day in a good way and gets you ready for what life may throw at you that day. Plus, if you workout in the morning, when you get home at night, all you have to do is relax.
For me, it allows me to get it done and know I have checked one thing off my to do list early. It’s not looming over my head with all the other things to do. I have also made sure to take care of myself early.... you can’t pour into others from an empty cup. 😉
I feel like I’ve already accomplished something before I’ve even left my bedroom. I pay attention to myself before my other priorities for the day. I get to give myself a high five after I’m done, which is a nice silly way to start my day. I’m hoping to see progress (mainly in my flexibility) so starting my day with a visual representation of my progress will be encouraging. Also if I exercise in the morning I’m more likely to make better choices later.
It says that my day has begun. And it leads to, pushes to everything that’s next. It shakes off the day before, especially if you have had the chance to relax with friends and beverages. What I have never done before is now actually an indispensable part of every day regardless of where I am or whom I am with.
Gets my energy levels up and makes me feel positive with the endorphins that kick in. Also starts my day easily with a task I can tick off - a sense of achievement to set the times for the day. Gets my body in active mode to sustain me through the rest of the day. Makes sure I get some exercise done for my fitness and health as I cod easily get distracted later in the day.
