How to PrepareĀ  Yourself for a Morning Workout?

Morning workout – the right way

1. Waking up early in the morningĀ  for your workout

If you have decided to start aĀ morning exercise then you have to wake up early. Not super early… but before 7 am.

Also, it doesn’t mean you have to sleep less.

6 to 8 hours of sleep is important for your brain and body. ‘AdequateĀ sleepĀ is a key part of a healthy lifestyle and canĀ benefit your heart, weight, mind, and more’ – Source

In order to have a proper sleeping time, you have to sleep early at night. This way you can easily wake up early and also have better sleep.

2. Set multiple alarms

morning workout preparation

To wakeup early you need to make sure you have slept well. If you have slept well during the night, it will be easier for you to wake up easily in the morning.

But if you find it hard to wake up, then set multiple alarms.

Do you use your phone’s alarm to wake up?…

Then turn on the full brightness of your phone and keep it on the side of your head. Make sureĀ the screenĀ face towards you. You can use the bedside wall to support your phone or use a pillow or anything you prefer.

Don’t forget to turn on the aeroplane mode. It will kill the radiation.

Or

Simply get a nice alarm clock.

3. Removing sleepiness

If you feel sleepy in the morning after waking up, it meansĀ you didn’t have adequate sleep. You can try drinking lemon water in the morning. It will help you remove sleepiness.

Sometimes your body needs sleep to recover. Our each sleep cycle takes about 60 to 100 minutes.

 “A sleep cycle lasts about 90 minutes and during that time we move through five stages of sleep. The first four stages make up our non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and the fifth stage is when rapid eye movement (REM) sleep occurs.” – Source

It’s important to complete each cycle. 8 hours of sleep is enough to complete all the cycles and if you do so; you will not feel sleepy throughout the day.

Choose your morning workout outfits and gears in the night and place them at a fixed place every day before you sleep.

It will minimize the preparation time and you don’t have to worry in the morning.


Pre and post workout meal for your morning workout

It depends on two things:

  1. The goal of the workout and
  2. Your health or physical condition.

Pre-Workout

First of all, you have to drink one or two glass of water. It’s applicable for all. ( Don’t drink water if you are going to run right after it. )

You can take (not empty stomach) green tea or coffee if you are doing morning exercise like running, jogging, freehand exercises, yoga, and cardio.

It will refresh your mood and increase your metabolism. It’s also helpful if you want to lose weight.

If you are a diabetic patient then eat something before your tea and coffee.

If you are lifting weight in the morning then eat something light or a cup of green tea.

Post Workout

You have many options to choose from. Oatmeal with milk or water, yogurt, scrambled eggs with little onions, smoothie or protein shake.

Tips for your morning workout

For most people, 15 to 20 minutes is the right time for a morning workout.

You have to set that time because you want to do this workout every day. First 5 to 7 minutes perform warm-up and muscle activation exercises.

After warmup, start your morning workout with those exercises you enjoy. It will make the workout fun and you will feel it easy to do every day.

Best exercises to do in the morning

Warmup:  Running/ stretching/ jump rope ( 5-7 minutes )

  1. Squat jumps
  2. Pushup
  3. Normal plank
  4. side plank
  5. Jumping jacks

Time management

If you can’t complete your morning workout within 20 minutes then you are doing something wrong or wasting your time.

Make your rest period 30 seconds. It’s more than enough.

Do these if you want to save your time in the morning

  • Pick your morning workout outfit before you sleep.
  • Set plans. What do you want to do in your morning workout?
  • Prepare your breakfast at night.

Summary

Regular practice of morning workout will benefit your health and fitness. You can have a good morning workout within 15 to 20 minutes.

To save time in the morning prepare your breakfastĀ at night and keep your workout gear at a fixed place.
