Morning Workouts

Moving sweat sessions to the A.M. could be difficult at first. To make it easier, try the following tips:

Pack a Bag: Every night after work, put dirty gym clothes in the hamper and set aside a crisp, new exercise outfit. Having to dig through dresser drawers at 6 a.m. is no fun.

Walk it Out: Place the alarm clock about six feet away from the bed so that you have to shimmy across the room in order to stop the painful buzzing. Once you’re out of bed, you may as well work the body.

Early Bedtime: Once you start getting in to the routine of waking up early, you will automatically start going to bed earlier.

Plan Your Routine: Before going to the gym, sign up for a spin class or have your entire exercise routine mapped out to prevent thinking about the next move that early in the morning.
