WELLNESS PROFILE 27Rise, sweatand shine, babyDid someone say beach?! If your first response is to book a fast flightto Siberia where you can happily hide the sins of winter under layers ofclothing, then we challenge you to try first-mover status on for size.Statistically, people whoexercise in the morningare more likely to stickwith their routine. Morningexercisers also burn more kilojoules,eat less junk, and feel more energisedthroughout the day. Here’s how to getstarted and keep going.1. Move up your bedtimeNumerous studies have linked a lack ofsleep to weight gain, increased diabetesrisk, low energy and fatigue. Trying towake up early if you aren’t fully restedis even more difficult. Your strategy:Decide at what time you need to wakeup to make your workout happen, andthen calculate your new ideal bedtime.You don’t have to change your habitat once. Start going to bed 15 minutesearlier each night until you reach yourideal bedtime. In the meantime, startwith a shorter, targeted workout in themorning.2. Determine your strategyfor successThe prospect of dragging yourself,work clothes, shoes, hair dryer andmakeup bag all the way to the gymat 06:00 might convince you to ratherstay in bed. Isn’t there somethingeasier you could do instead? A greatworkout DVD, or a walk or jog aroundthe neighbourhood are all options toconsider.3. Plan to failBeing prepared to fail is the bestplanning you can do. Create morethan one alternative so that whenyour workout partner cancels or thatthunderstorm hits, you won’t have tomiss your excercise session.4. Psych (or bribe) yourself upEven if you have had eight hours ofsleep, it can still be a struggle to getup before the sun does. That’s why wehighly recommend bribery. If you loveto start your day with a coffee, make adeal with yourself that you’ll only beallowed to stop on your way to work ifyou fit in your workout first.5. Move to a motivating mixNever underestimate the power of greatmusic to inspire you to get moving.Create a playlist of your favouritetracks – the ones that really get yourheart racing – and hit the play buttonas soon as you get up. Keep addingsongs to your mix and change it oftenso it always sounds fresh and inspiring.6. Share on social mediaGetting feedback and support fromyour social network can help you stayon track towards reaching your fitnessgoals. Post your workout plans thenight before, for example: “Trying out anew kickboxing class in the morning!”You might be more motivated to get outof bed after announcing your intentionon your Twitter feed.7. Preparation is the secretZap morning workout excuses bymaking your pre and post-workoutroutine as simple as possible. Put yourworkout gear right next to your bedso you don’t have to fumble aroundfor your shoes and socks. Also keepit simple afterwards. For example, trydry shampoo or a polished ponytailin cold weather.Information courtesy of Shape magazine
