Exercising In the Morning for Success!
by Bill · Filed Under: Excercise · Health and Wellness
Let’s face it. If we all had an unlimited amount of time, didn’t have to sleep and energy to spare we would all have more success in doing our workout for the day. Exercising for most of us is something that we love AFTER the workout is done. But getting it done can be a chore if you’re anyone like me with a very busy day.
Let’s see, I go to work with a drive time of an hour. Ten hours at work, then an hour home. The dog grabs my attention for his 30 minute jaunt around the neighborhood then it’s time for dinner. Relax time seems to be a long way off as I finish the dishes and do a chore or two around the house. Getting that hour workout in can be a challenge at times.
I’ve found that if I do it early (VERY early) in the morning I can have that success in my life that starts the day off with more to follow. The morning time for me works best. You see, if I do it early, then when I get home and caught up doing everything else I don’t have to worry about “I’m too tired to workout” and have a failure for the day. Now this is just my time. Yours may be quite different, but I’ve found success in working out in the morning creates a whole series of possible successes in my day.
So the morale of the story is; find that time in your day where you can exercise and have done without other things interfering with YOUR success.
That’s the way it works for me too. If exercise doesn’t happen first thing in the morning, it doesn’t happen at all. I love getting my system going right off the bat. Thanks for this affirming post.
Thanks Ingrid! Most of the time I succeed in the morning. The day that I don’t I do return home dragging and it’s like pulling teeth sometimes to get motivated to go workout. I’m always happy for a new day because it’s a fresh new day ready for success!
Hey Bill, good post.
My biggest problem is getting out of bed!
I’m a runner and train twice a day, and I much prefer the afternoon/evening session. But you’re right, a good workout in the morning can really set you up for the day and freshen you up both physically and mentally. And if you’ve only got one bit of exercise planned for the day, getting it done early prevents any chance of anything getting in the way later on – including excuses to not do it!
Cheers Bill,
Justin.
