If you want to exercise in the morning, read on.
Steps
Step 1. Go to sleep at an appropriate time and ensure your body a restful night's sleep
Set the alarm at the designated time. To make sure you don't press the snooze button, place the alarm on the other side of the room, thus being forced out of bed to turn it off. Never ignore the alarm sound, otherwise you will fall asleep again and not get up in time.
Step 2. Have a snack, preferably fruit-based
A banana will provide you with the right amount of energy to start your workout.
Step 3. Dress appropriately
If you know you can be cold, go for a sweatshirt and long pants. During the warm months, a tank top and shorts will be ideal.
Step 4. Warm up
Whatever physical activity you choose, it is very important to warm up the muscles. A good warm-up consists of a jog and some stretching.
Step 5. Exercise
Whether you decide to lift weights, do situps, or ride a bike, the important thing is to get moving. Try to get your body to sweat.
Step 6. Keep an eye on the clock
You don't want to be late for school or work do you? Give yourself time to do even a short cool-down.
Advice
- When exercising, drinking water reduces the risk of dehydration.
- Don't overwork yourself. Otherwise you risk getting injured.
- Morning exercise isn't for everyone, but even if you like to sleep, give it a chance at least once a week.
- While standing, lift both hands up and then lean forward until they are on the ground, touching your toes if possible. Finally do a push-up. Continue as long as you feel it is enough.
Warnings
- Don't risk getting injured, just do what you are capable of.
- If you are running down a road, pay close attention to the busy morning traffic.
