1. Start Your Day the Right Way
If you start your day with a morning workout, you will have find yourself feeling better throughout the day. I have been getting up at 5am between Bootcamp and personal training for a decade and on the rare occasion when I sleep in until 7, I actually feel less energetic. I love starting my day with a workout because of how great I feel and this is one of the main reasons to exercise in the morning.
2. Have More Energy
You would think waking up earlier would deplete your energy, especially if you are sleeping less, but it actually does the opposite. Waking up to get a workout in will boost your energy, and have you feeling peppy! So make sure you rise early to get a 30 minute to 1 hour fitness session in!

3. Make Better Food Choices
If you start your day with a morning workout, you will set your day on a healthier note and even find yourself looking at food differently. You definitely will not be wanting to eat a donut for breakfast because that would sabotage the workout you just completed. So oatmeal and egg whites it is!
4. No Excuses
How many excuses can you come up with at 5am? Not very many, huh? If you exercise earlier you will have no excuses to not get your workout in. If you wait until later in the day, work, school, or other activities can cause you to have to miss your workout. So make sure you get your workout in bright and early so that no excuses can get in your way.
5. Everyone Can Find Time Early
You can try to come up with a million different reasons, but you can always get up earlier to get your workout in. Unless you work the night shift there is no reason not to get up and get your fitness session in. Once you complete this you will feel accomplished and ready to embark on the day.

I hope I have motivated you to get up and get going. Set your alarm clock for bright and early and rise with the dawn chorus. Didn’t you ever hear the saying, the early bird gets the worm?
