How to establish a morning Gym routine – check out the tips and tricks in this Infographic
There are many benefits to exercising first thing it the morning; you feel more energised for the rest of the day, it kick-starts your metabolism, you get more out of your day plus many more benefits.
I used to workout only in the evening. I thought I didn’t have time to incorporate it anywhere else in the day. More often than not I found that my workouts in the evenings tended to be more rushed and I had to deal with everyone else that simply didn’t have the time to workout in the morning. I felt I didn’t have the focus especially if others were queuing for the same piece of equipment; not a great experience. That’s if I made it to the Gym, if I didn’t then I’d have the guilt of not going which for me made it hard to go back if I missed a few sessions.
It wasn’t until I had a couple of busy weeks where it was impossible to get to the gym in the evenings that I gave switching to a morning workout a go. It was hard getting up those first few mornings but once I got into the swing of things I began to enjoy it. I felt I could focus more, there were no queues for certain equipment, I had no guilt trip about not making it in the evenings but most of all I got a huge sense of achievement for having worked out first thing; it give me more motivation to find the time to exercise in the morning.
