How do you become a morning athlete?

Fit & Training door stephanie-grootveld

Because of your busy life, you sometimes don't have any time to exercise in between. So you decide to go in the morning. But when the alarm goes of before 7 o'clock, you tell yourself that you will go tonight. That bed is too good to leave right now. Such a shame, because you save time by exercising in the morning and you get an energy boost. 

1. GO TO BED EARLY

Yes, it's that simple. When you go to bed earlier than you are used to, getting up early will get easier! When you wake up that early, you are more tired in the evening. Exercising in the morning will give you an energieboost and make you more alert. You can be more productive the whole day. And you can relax earlier ;)!

2. ROUTINE

When you have a routine with waking up early, your body will get used to that and your body will adapt itself. For example, don't watch seasons of your favorite serie, but just watch 1 or 2 episodes. Exercising in the morning can be good for your routine as well. Decide what you are going to train, so you can jump out of bed in the morning and know exactly what to do!

3. MEET WITH A FRIEND

When you meet with your best friend to go to the gym, you can keep your promise to her. When you have agreed with someone, you are less likely to snooze and to sleep in. By motivating each other, the time will go by really fast. But you have to find that friend who is as motivated as you are. Otherwise you will booth snooze! ;)

4. JOIN THE CHALLENGE ON THE 4TH OF FEBRUARY

Do you want to be more healthy and exercise more? On the 4th of February a new group of Fit Girls will start their fitjourney with our Guides. Together we stay strong and hopefully you can reach your goals! Do you have a Guide? Shop it here! Good luck! :)

5. ALARM

If you have trouble coming out of bed in the morning, you can put  your alarm on the other side of the room. You have to get out of bed to turn off the alarm. Still having trouble waking up? Download an alarm app where you have to figure out a puzzle to turn it off.

6. MOTIVATION

Remind yourself of why you want this. What are your goals? How good are you going to feel when you finished your morning workout? Figure out why you want to be fit and healthy. Also a good tip: reward yourself! You can do that by a protein shake when you come back from a workout. Treat yourself!
