I don't know anyone who likes to wake up before they feel ready...but there are SO many benefits to getting up and getting to the gym in those early morning hours. Here they are :
- Early workouts boost your metabolism
- They boost your energy and clear your head for a fresh start to your day!
- Studies have shown that weight loss increases the most during early hours of the day
- Gym is likely to be crowded because a lot of people want to get in the gym before work- BUT the gym is always going to be busy..so that's not a good excuse!
- You may feel like you've hit a wall and feel exhausted half way through your workout- that's normal because it's early, & your body may not be used to working out that early for a while. Bring a sports drink with electrolytes in it to help keep you awake! (Such as a Gatorade).
It's a good idea to eat a small breakfast before working out. I usually have a small bowl of oatmeal with a little brown sugar on top. A grapefruit is a natural energy booster- so having something like that would be good too!
POST work out:
I like to have a protein shake from Gold's- but I bring my own protein! Have someone knowledgeable help you find the best protein for you. Employees at most supplement shops (nutrishop, smoothie factory, GNC, etc.) are very good at helping you out with that. They know what they are talking about!
