Seriously - why don’t I exercise in the morning more? Every time I work out in the AM I feel frickin fabulous all day long - not to mention accomplished! Despite getting to bed late last night, I woke up at 6:45 this morning. Must have been nerves. I slept in until 7:20 and then headed to the gym. On the way there I got a small iced coffee which I drank during my funky elliptical warm up. I felt kind of weird doing that, but hey, I had limited time and I need to get my caffeine and my cardio on. I did a 5 min run on the treadmill and then focused on weights for the rest of the time. I did a total body circuit, making sure to hit everything at least a little bit. I won’t be sore tomorrow or anything, but I think it was a good workout (although a little short on time). Still having low calorie burned though…now that I’m fitter, it takes more to get my HR up. Blessing and a curse. Cardio and weights = 321 calories burned.
Usual, shmusual at work:
I don’t leave work til 3:45, so I’ll see you guys for lunch, don’t worry!
Definitely feels great working out in the morning - it’s energizing! Hooray!
Working out in the morning is key, its the only time I can… if I don’t then it just doesn’t happen and it puts me in a great mood for the day.
Good for you on the workout. You’ve motivated me to take a walk. I felt bad for skipping the gym and was just gonna blow it for the night, but not now! Thanks!
Looooove morning workouts! Have I mentioned that before??
I agree, they make you feel accomplished first thing in the morning. Plus I don’t know WHEN I’d work out if I didn’t do it in the morning!
VG - For sure!
Jo - I agree about the great mood!
Erin - Aw, yay! Always take a walk! If nothing else, take a walk.
Justy -
Keep reminding me!
