I recently started going to the gym in the mornings again and wish I would have started that sooner!! I was doing that religiously last fall and winter and as it got nicer out, I started to go in the afternoons so I could enjoy more of my night and stay up later and sleep in longer. Doing that only ended in me skipping workouts, which is no bueno.
I have been going in the mornings and skipped one morning for more sleep and told myself I’d just go after work, but I couldn’t get myself to go! – I was just too tired and with the crowds, forget that! Never again will I do that! I truly enjoy being at the gym bright and early… here are my reasons why:
- No crowds
- Machines are open
- Quality of my workouts is kickass!
- Get to work early/on time
- Energy lasts throughout the day – no more 2 p.m. lull!
- Stay more on track with my clean eating
- Workouts last longer because I have more time and I’m not rushed
- Don’t skip an exercise or stretching
- Consume more water throughout the day
- Sleep better at night
- More motivated to pack my gym bag at night/gather my meals together & more motivation for other tasks
- Have time for other things after work
I could probably add more to this list. In fact, here’s another big one: my workout is out of the way! I also feel more clear-headed throughout the day, which makes for an even more productive workday!
When do you workout? Morning? Afternoon? Evening? Morning and evening?
