How to Exercise in the Morning

Morning workouts are a great way to ensure that you get some exercise before the daily rigmarole starts distracting you with excuses not to. Virtually any exercise is suitable for your morning routine, as long as you ease into it and refrain from pushing yourself too hard too soon. Adopting a few other simple practices, like turning in early and placing your alarm clock out of reach from your bed, can help ensure that you stick to your regime without turning back in for more sleep!



Prepare for the following morning. Lay out all clothes and equipment that you will need for your morning workout before you go to bed. Minimize the number of tasks that you need to perform in the morning so you can start your workout with as few distractions as possible. If you go to a gym rather than exercise at home, make sure your to-go bag is packed with everything you’ll need before turning in for the night.
Get an adequate amount of sleep. Get seven to nine hours of sleep before attempting morning workouts.[3] Ensure that you will wake easily with a sufficient amount of energy to perform your workout efficiently. If you need to seriously adjust your sleep schedule to achieve this, stick to shorter workouts in the morning. Gradually go to bed earlier each night by 15-minute increments until you are sleeping a full seven to nine hours.

Force yourself to get out of bed. Place your alarm clock on the other side of the room from your bed. Preempt the risk of a sleepy hand hitting the snooze button and upsetting your routine. If you hate springing immediately out of bed upon waking, set a second alarm so you can adjust with another 10 or 15 minutes spent lying down. Resist climbing back under the sheets, however, in order to avoid getting too comfortable.

Control your environment. Turn on the radio or design your own invigorating playlist to stimulate your brain. Switch on all the lights to wake up your eyes and lessen the desire to crawl back into your dark bed. Keep the temperature in your house cool to cold to keep you alert and eager to warm up through exercise.

Consult a doctor. Before beginning a new routine, make an appointment if you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, too much cholesterol, or obesity. Let your doctor know that you intend to start a morning exercise routine. Ask their advice to establish a workout regime that accommodates your personal needs and risk factors.
