Burning desire to be or to do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start over again!" Make that reason to get up exercise and utilize that burning desire !!! 


Reasons to exercise in the morning

If I had to pick a single and actually simple to do factor that I thought was  important in a successful exercise or weight loss program for you all, it would be to exercise first thing in the morning... every morning!  Continue to exercise every morning and  when you put on your underwear  the fruit-of-the-loom guys won't be laughing at you anymore!

Some mornings, you may just be able to fit in a 10-minute walk, but it's important to try to do something... every morning...  

So why in the morning? 

Over 90 percent of people, who exercise consistently, do it in the morning. If you want to exercise consistently, odds are in your favor if you exercise first thing in the morning. 

When you exercise early in the morning, it "jump starts" your metabolism and keeps it elevated for hours -- sometimes up to 24 hours! That means you're burning more calories all day long just because you exercised in the morning! 

When you exercise in the morning you'll be energized for the day! Personally, I feel dramatically different on days when I have and haven't exercised in the morning. 

Many people find that morning exercise "regulates" their appetite for the day. They aren't as hungry -- and they make better food choices. Several people have told me that it puts them in a "healthy mindset." 

If you exercise at about the same time every morning -- and ideally wake-up at about the same time on a regular basis -- your body's endocrine system and circadian rhythms adjust to that. Physiologically, some wonderful things happen. A couple of hours before you wake up, your body begins to prepare for waking and exercise because it "knows" it's about to happen. Why? because it "knows" you do the same thing just about everyday just like your stomach knows when lunch time is about to happen. You benefit from your body knowing ahead of time for several reasons...

a) It's MUCH easier to wake-up. When you wake-up at different times everyday, it confuses your body and thus it's never really "prepared" to awaken.

b) Your metabolism and all the hormones involved in activity and exercise begin to elevate while you're sleeping. Thus, you feel more alert, energized, and ready to exercise when you do wake-up.

c) Hormones prepare your body for exercise by regulating blood pressure, heart rate, blood flow to muscles, etc.

For many people, that appointed time every morning becomes something they look forward to. It's time they've set aside to do something good for themselves... to take care of their body, mind, and psyche as well.  Many find that it's a great time to think clearly, pray, plan their day, or just relax mentally. 

Research has demonstrated that exercise increases mental acuity... on average it lasts four to ten hours after exercise! No sense in wasting that while you're sleeping. 

Exercising first thing in the morning is really the only way to assure that something else won't get in the way of your exercise time in your schedule. When your days get busy, exercise usually takes a back seat and you talk about doing it tomorrow!  Don't fall into that trap... ! 

If finding time to exercise is difficult, anyone can get up 30 to 60 minutes earlier to exercise (if it's a priority in your life). If necessary, you can go to sleep a little earlier. Also, research has demonstrated that people who exercise on a regular basis have a higher quality of sleep and thus require less sleep!  If you can only squeeze in 10 minutes in the morning and 10 afternoon and 10  at night, research has also shown that it can be as beneficial and sometimes more beneficial by breaking it up during the day… So don’t let a lack of time be an excuse to work out… This is your body and health we are talking about… 

If a man achieves victory over his body, who in the world can exercise power over him? He who rules himself rules over the whole world. 

You'll enjoy the rush and the power you will have!!! 

I know I do !!!
