Top 5 Practices To Get Movement In Before 8AM

1) Sleep in your workout clothes

Okay, I know. This sounds funny. But it removes one big step.

If changing clothes in the morning feels like climbing a mountain, skip it. You can always throw on a hoodie and go.

I literally wear my leggings I buy from H & M, a sports bra from H & M and a tank and I sleep in that. In the morning I wake, go potty, scrap my tongue, drink water, have espresso, apply deorderant, take supplements, check emails, social messages and banking accounts. Then put on a sweat shirt adn move my body.

Afterwards, I shower and do all the things… So I don’t talk my brain out of it. I do it becuase I am already ready and takes less effort and thinking.

2.) Put a full water bottle next to your bed

Your body wakes up dehydrated. And dehydration can feel like tiredness.

So make the first thing you do… drink water.

Even a few big sips helps your brain wake up.
​

3.) Do a 2-minute “wake-up warm-up”

Your body might feel tight in the morning. Especially over 40.

So don’t force yourself into a hard workout while you feel stiff.

Do 2 minutes of easy movement:

• shoulder rolls

• arm circles

• ankle circles

• slow squats holding a chair

• cat-cow stretch

Two minutes. That’s it. It tells your body, “We’re awake now.”

4.) Decide your workout the day before

Mornings are not for planning.

Decide ahead of time:

• what you’re doing

• where you’re doing it

• what time you're doing it

• how long it takes

This removes the “what should I do?” problem.
​

5.) Pick an identity statement

Instead of “I’m trying to work out,” say:

• “I’m a morning mover.”

• “I keep promises to myself.”

• “I take care of my body.”

Identity is fuel. It helps you act like the person you’re becoming.
