When red eyes pop half way open and you feel like your alarm clock woke you up 3 hours earlier than planned... When you wake up starving with your stomach eating itself and you want to run to the kitchen and stuff your face... When your bed all of a sudden feels like a warm personalized, handcrafted tempurpedic cloud from the heavens above, this is when you should imagine your dream body and health. See yourself as the showstopper in that sexy bikini, vacationing in the Bahamas this summer. Something so simple as having a daily morning routine can make a big difference. You don't always have to be in the gym to get a good workout. Even if your morning workout is small and only lasts 10 mins because that is all you can afford before getting ready for work, this is good. It takes great discipline to peel yourself out of bed every morning no matter how you feel, but if you do, you will really achieved a great discipline milestone from this small feat. I applaud all of you out there who have morning routines and I challenge you others to begin and stick to a morning routine. Here is mine:
500 abs in sets of 50 (10 different variations of ab workouts with 50 reps of each)
Between each set of 50 abs I do 10 push-ups for a total of 100 push ups
- if you can't reach 10 push-ups yet, do as many as you can up to 10 each time.
Lateral leg raises (3 sets of 25 each side)
25 mountain climbers
100 calf raises
Sometimes I do a few major stretches depending on how much time I have in the morning.
And that is it :) this usually takes me about 20 minutes so I set my alarm 15 mins earlier and when it goes off I get down on my rug before my body can force my brain to make excuses and I get my work in. This is the best way and it hasn't failed me yet ! Good morning all, wishing you a productive and successful day ! Did you complete your morning routine ??
