5:00 A.M., 6:00 A.M, 7:00 A.M.

If you are a busy mom, a busy professional, or both – these early times can be your “best and most productive” hours in the day. If you want to get more fit and lose weight, then you need to workout, and to get your workout in, you need to find some time!

Trust me, there are many busy women out there that know what they want but don’t think they have the time to do it. That’s where the early morning hours come in…

5 great reasons to set your alarm at 5 or 6 am to get a workout in:

1. There are no meetings at 5 or 6 am. Generally most jobs don’t start until 8 or 9 am…
2. Almost all of the stores are closed. No need to grocery shop or anything, therefore no guilt about not getting 1 more thing done…
3. An early workout gives you energy ALL DAY. As compared to the later workout that hangs over your head all day.
4. You will burn more calories all day, which leads to better results!
5. The kids and the rest of the family are (usually) sleeping! They won’t even miss you, we promise! No soccer practice, no volleyball matches, nothing!… unless of course your kid is a swimmer, and they may practice at 5:00 am, but then you can drop them off and workout while they are at practice, you’re up anyway!

If you think you need help making this change to early mornings, hire a trainer and make an appointment. Knowing that someone is waiting on you will get you out of bed until your body adjusts and it becomes easier. As a bonus result, your evenings become more relaxed, and you will be happier and healthier.
