Tips for early morning workouts for a non morning person
Posted on 3/23/15 at 9:39 am
Posted on 3/23/15 at 9:39 am
So I have finally come to the conclusion that I will just not be able to consistently work out in the evening now. I'm just too damn busy in the evenings. I can get a workout in here and there, but nothing consistent.
For those that workout in the mornings, what are some tips? I would have to wake up at 4:30 in order to go to the gym, workout for an hour, and be at work at 7.

I workout at home so fortunately I don't have to worry about driving somewhere and dealing with all that time lost.
I get up at 5:50 and the coffee is already brewing. I'll drink a cup and read TD and give my body time to wake up and kick in gear. About 6:20 I start working out. Done by about 7 or 7:10, then rest/cool down while drinking a shake until about 7:20 or so. Then shower, make breakfast, dressed, out the door by 8:15.
You definitely get into a routine, the first week or so is hard but then your body adjusts.

What type of tip are you looking for? Workouts? How to wake up at 4:30?
I get up at 4, in the gym for 5:15 due to an hour drive to work. It's tough, but like you, I just don't have time in the evening. And I don't really feel like it after an hour drive home

how to wake up and get going
hopefully after 2-3 weeks my body will adjust and it becomes routine, but these next few weeks are going to be rough

I have the same dilemna. I get it done in the afternoon after the drive home from work, but days when I have plans after work is what is hurting me. I'm trying to get up a little bit earlier each day but so far that's been a fail.

Morning workouts suck for me. I just don't have the physical energy in the morning.
Good luck, brother.

I've been trying this for a while now too. It doesn't seem to matter what time I go to bed I just can't get up in the morning to workout. I used to go regularly at lunch but my work schedule is not as structured and I am on the road more so that is out. I know some people make a pre-workout drink the night before and put it bedside. When the alarm goes off, hit snooze, drink the pre-workout, and in 10 minutes your ready to go.

Eh, it's just a bitch...lol. I don't set a snooze and it helps that I have someone I work out with that is relying on me being there.
I get all my clothes ready the night before. Wake up, piss, brush teeth, and head out the door. That makes it a bit easier when you don't have to focus on what you're going to wear and looking for shite
ETA: I'm not a workout at lunch guy. That shite is gross if you don't have time to shower
And I have 2 kids, so I rarely go to sleep before 10:30. Most days I get 4-5 hours sleep max

I'm trying to get into an AM cardio routine a couple days a week. I can't lift in the morning.

with my work schedule i couldnt do it in the afternoons either. And mornings i just couldnt get motivated. I get an hr lunch and a gym is righy by my work so i skip eating lunch at that time, run to the gym and put in 45 min workout. Drink a protein shake after and bring one baked chicken breast i snack on at my desk about an hr later. It has been great for me doing it during lunch. Not sure thats an option for you or not

Me too. I usually start my workouts at 10 pm, sometimes much later than that.

you must weigh nothing

working out at lunch isn't an option
the most workout I do for lunch is ride by bike to the house and then back to work, which is about 7.5 miles total
for those that get up early, do y'all eat anything before? I'm not usually hungry at 4:30 in the morning

I drink a preworkout drink as soon as I open my eyes....don't wait until after you brush your teeth or it will taste like arse

Pack your clothes the night before. Then in the morning just drag your arse out of bed.
It's got to become a habit. I'm at the gym at 7am every morning during the week. When I wake up it's no longer a choice. I just do it.

Go to BeachBody.com and find a DVD program you can do at home.
At night, put your workout clothes nearby, ready to go. Put tomorrow's DVD in the player.
As a bonus, get your work clothes ready too.
Set alarm 2 to 3 hours before you need to leave for work. DO NOT hit snooze. Get up and go. Drink a few sips of water and take vitamins or Pre-workout shake before exercising.
Log your workouts & weight after every session to see your progress.
