One of the biggest secrets to people that achieve a lot in life is that they get the most important things done first thing in the morning before anyone has even got their first cup of coffee in them. The success happens before or just around dawn and then these world beaters move through their day as anyone else does.
If you want to get healthy by doing cardio or doing weights then the best time to do these things is before you even get going in the morning. I remember listening to Tony Robbins on a tape once say that if you want to lose weight then leave your running shoes beside oyur bed so your just roll out of bed and into them before you even get a chance to say no to the workout.
When you try to workout in the morning you will find that the tired resistance only lasts a few minutes, after you have walked for 1 minutes or ridden your exercise bike for 3 minutes you will be into it and rejoicing at the fact that you are doing something great for you that very few people ever do and that is to be successful. What a great way to start the day with a success to build on before you have even had breakfast.
After you have done your morning workout once then the habit will be starting to form, you will confident that you can do it again.
I know that a few weeks ago I was struggling with a few things in life, one of which was finding ideas for this blog. I woke up on a Saturday morning at 4:00 and since i had nothing else to do (early morning TV is even worse then mid afternoon TV) I have a couple of thoughts and decided to boot up the laptop and get them in my task list.
My wife got up two hours later, while it was still early in the morning and I was in a sweat having written plans and notes for a half dozen projects a dozen posts and all of the things that had been keeping me awake for a few weeks were gone. Committed to a schedule or already done.
So here you go. Get ready for a rough few minutes tomorrow morning. After you have worked out tomorrow post a comment telling us all how well you have done!
