Have you guys always wanted to wake up early in the morning to do your workouts or cardio? and you're just not a morning person at all? Here are some tips that I have found on the internet and thought that they were actually really helpful!
- Lay out the clothes you plan to exercise in the night before and set your socks and shoes in front of your bed.
- If it’s comfortable, go to sleep in your sports bra and running shorts. That way, half the work is already done when your alarm goes off.
- Whether you’re using a phone or alarm clock, put it far away enough so that you have to get out of bed to turn it off.
- Set a bottle of water close to your alarm clock, preferably with some lemon juice in it. Also, keep some no-bake energy bites nearby. You’ll need those first thing.
- When your alarm goes off, DO NOT HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON!. Just don’t do it. Set the alarm for the latest time possible, so you trick your brain into thinking you’re in a hurry, rather than thinking, “I can sleep for 10 more minutes.” That 10 minutes won’t make you less tired. It will, however, turn into 20 minutes, then 30 minutes, then no workout for you. Trust me on this one.
- While you’re up, grab that bottle of water you set aside the night before and drink a good amount. The lemon juice will kick start your metabolism and help your body wake up faster. Then eat an energy ball or two. Chewing will let your digestive system know it’s time to start working, and the protein-packed bites will fuel your workout.
- Before you even think of heading back to bed, put on your sneakers and the rest of your workout gear. Put in your headphones and start listening to some music. Now you’re ready to go before your brain has figured out what just happened.
