Fitness Cure

Yes. I said it.

Fitness People ALMOST ALWAYS seem to be Morning people.

They wake up: they have a list of priorities to complete, one of which is their dedication to exercise!! I guess this also goes with my second statement:

Fitness People ALMOST ALWAYS seem to be Breakfast people.

If they wake up early, they have to eat breakfast right?

If they workout early, they have to fuel their body, right?

AND breakfast IS the most important meal of the day!!

This morning I was working out – I actually ran 4 miles on the treadmill! And it was just a wonderful feeling…in fact, ANY crowd at 6-7am seem to be wonderful people at the gym. You see they regularly: some are old, others are professionals, a good deal are probably a Type A personality (like me) We all say hello to each other  – have small chit chat – and kinda cheer each other on with:

“Glad to see you in here this bright morning…” or

“I sure am glad I got in here today…” or

“It’s always nice to see you”

Morning Gym People are an interesting group of people.

When I was done with my workout I felt SOOOOO great. I got my priority done for the day – I was able to train without interruption as there weren’t a lot of people hogging the machine – and it got me revved up for the rest of my day!

So what can YOU do to become a morning person?

1) SET your alarm clock and NO MATTER WHAT, get up for one week straight at your desired time: preferably 5/6 or 7am! Your body will get used to it!

2) GO to sleep early. If you sleep at 9pm, you will naturally want to get up early!

3) MAKE a date with a workout partner who will meet you at the gym.

4) PLAN the night before: pack your breakfast and lunch. Put your gym shoes out. Be prepared for the next day.

5) KEEP your shades open. I don’t know where you may be living, but I know that the sun rises around 5am-ish in Sacramento, California. The sunlight makes me get up for sure!

IF ALL ELSE FAILS: take this advice from a very, very wise philosopher:

It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.
- Aristotle

Get up! Get up! and…GOOO!!!!
