I don't know about you, but I always feel accomplished all day long if I work out in the morning. Early mornings and late evenings are about the only time in Southern Illinois that it's cool enough to workout outside, and since evenings can fill up quickly with fun plans, it's easy to choose doing something fun over exercising then! Working out in the morning gets it out of the way and puts a check mark in the box for the day, before the day has really even started!
That being said, sometimes it can be SO difficult to wake up at 5:45 or 6:00 (or even 7:00)! Here are some ways I've found that help me wake up and get going:
1. Set your shoes and clothes out the night before
Having everything ready makes it simple to find all the necessities when you first wake up. Make sure to have your headphones and a water bottle ready to go too!
2. Put your alarm on the across the room
I use my phone for my alarm, and while I prefer to have it on my nightstand, I'm prone to hit snooze or even turn my alarm off unconsciously. If it's on the other side of the room, I physically have to get up to turn it off - which reduces the chances that I won't fall back asleep.
3. Make a playlist
Music can add so much fun and energy to a workout - and if you have a playlist that you're excited about listening to, this will make it easier to get up too!
4. Go to bed early
Okay, well maybe not early (it is summer after all!) But going to bed at a decent hour makes it easier to wake up because of plenty of rest.
Hopefully these help you get up and get going!
Xoxo,
