Are you having problems fitting a workout into your daily routines?

Yeah, I know, you are a very busy person, I get it.

But seriously, is that really a good excuse not to exercise? I mean, we all prioritise different things. Some people enjoy watching a lot of television, while others enjoy reading books, playing poker, etc.

Since most of those examples I just told you about pretty often occur in the evening, then when do you think your best chance of getting a workout done is?

My guess is probably in the morning, before you take your kids to school and before you head off to work. Let me give you a tip to how you can make it work, and then let me tell you what type of workout to do, and then the benefits of working out in the morning. How does that sound?


=> Preparations

The number one thing you need to do in order to make it work is to plan things one day ahead. What this means is that the evening before, you'll pack your brief case, take out your clothes and put them next to your bed, and then you make other necessary preparations for the upcoming day after that. These tasks probably won't take you more than 5-10 minutes.

One tip is to make a list of what you are going to accomplish the next day.

If you don't absolutely feel you have to shave in the morning, I really recommend you doing it in the evening. Grooming experts actually recommends shaving in the evening because your face is a lot more svollen in the morning due to your position in bed the whole night.

If you don't care about grooming experts, than do it because it saves you a lot of time (and possible even saves you from the cuts you get when shaving in a hurry).

Next, set your alarm clock for 40 min earlier than usual (or before the kids go up, if that's the case).

Minute 1-4: Hit the kitchen and get a little snack in your system (half a protein shake or so).
Minute 4-15: Check the notes and preparations from the night before. Put everything in place. This might even be a good time to take out the breakfast and put it on the counter or dinner table.
Minute 15-30: Do one of the fast and super effective circuit workouts from the Burn Fat at Home program.
Minute 30-40: Hit the shower.
Minute 41: Rise and shine the rest of the family


=> Benefits of morning workouts

By working out the first thing in the morning, you're all set to do whatever you want the rest of the day. You don't have to walk around thinking about how to make it to the gym before you have to be home at the dinner table, and most importanly, you have no excuses to why you shouldn't work out.

Work out in the morning and you are all set for the rest of the day!

Research are showing that workout methods such as those in Burn Fat at Home release more endorphins, which means you'll be in a better mood throughout the whole day, and you'll actually stay more alert and focused!

I really recommend morning workouts because of all of these reasons, but if you rather get it done in the evening (or else you don't do it at all), then please get it done in the evening. The secret is to really find what works best for you and stick to that without exceptions!


Until tomorrow,
