Morning workouts

[katia7]

I absolutely have to workout 1st thing in the morning or there's always something getting in the way. When school starts, my classes will start at 8AM. I'm trying to figure out a fast routine and how early I'll have to wake up to have time to workout w/Cathe, take a shower/get dressed, have breakfast (or if you guys have any ideas to what I can bring w/ me) and be out the door by 7:30.

Thank you
Katia

I have to be to work at 8 am and out the door at 7:30 am to get there on time. I get up at 5:00 am. This gives me enough time to get a full hour workout in, plus dress a 3 yr old. Being a student may be a little tough b/c of studying late and all. But if you can get to bed early enough you can get up and do your workouts.

This is the only time of the day for me to workout. I've been doing this for the last couple of years and now it has become second nature.

Good luck!

Hi Katia,
I am a teacher and during the school year I have to get up between 4 and 4:30 to get my workouts in. My first students arrive at 7:15 so I have to leave the house at 7:00 at the latest. I get all my workout clothes ready the night before and I know what workout(s) I am going to do. I try to get to bed by 9 or 9:30. That is the hard part for me. I also listen to my body and if the early morning workouts begin to add stress to my life I take a break and or plan an afternoon workout if possible. I mostly stick to the early morning routine though because it is done and I love the feeling of accomplishment I carry throughout my day. Then no matter how late I get home, I can throw on comfortable clothes and lesson plan or cook dinner or relax. I also drink a small glass of orange juice before I workout. I set my coffee maker to begin making my coffee during my stretch. I try to leave a little time to cool down and have my breakfast after I workout. Good luck!
