morning motivation

[FitFossil]

I work out in the morning. Makes me feel good all day. Fewer people in the gym and fewer excuses that time of day.

I wake up at 4am drive 45 minutes to the gym and start training at 5am. If you start doing it your body gets use to the time schedule. I usually take a couple of vivarin as well and that seems to do the trick. It mostly boils down to how bad you want it and the dedication it takes to get there.

im in college as well and have to get up at the exact same time in the mornings. i think it all comes down to how bad you want to accomplish your goals.
this morning i got up at 6 and walked over to the gym (1 mile away, and it was 35 degrees out), on my walk I was thinking "why did I get up, everyone else is still in bed and I probably went to be bed a helluva lot later than they did", then I remembered what I want to look like, i thought about how great I feel when I accomplish training goals, and it wasn't hard to conceive getting up at that time.
something that helps me is getting "pschyed" for training the night before, go over the workout in your head imagining your muscles feeling like they are going to explode. the next morning youll be eager to get to the gym.

I train from 5am to 6am 5 days a week. I look forward when I go to bed to my work out the next morning. If you get a training partner and know that they will be there waiting on you, this should help you get to the gym. once you get into the groove you will love it!

Sorry to echo what everyone else has said, but it is just a matter of making yyourself do it.

I find, that once I get into the routine of getting up early and going to the gym, it isn't so bad.

It's always hardest to get back into it after I take a break for work or other reasons.

Grit your teeth and jump out of bed, assuming you don't sleep in a bunk bed

I mentioned to my husband that I was thinking about getting up at 5 to do cario. He laughed and said I would NEVER be able to do it.

I started the next day and have not had a problem since.

Forearms, calves, and spinach. That's what popeye had over bluto. However, bluto had shear size and mass over popeye. I likey this thread b/c I have the same problem.

There's nothing quite like the incentive from a partner. Whether it be encouragement or just to show them that you CAN do it.



Good for you VooDoo Lady.

A pity you didn't make a bet with him that you'd be able to do it.
