I love your outfit, first off. Secondly, I started getting up at 5:30 last September to workout, when my schedule demanded it. Im a person who needs sleep(not a night owl), but often stays up later just to have time with my family. If I can do this, I echo everyone else and say that you can too. Lindsey, our early morning queen, really hit the nail on the head with finding out what works for you. I’m one of those people who needs to workout with no food, otherwise I feel sluggish and heavy. So, I get up at 5:30, drink my lemon water, then go do a workout. The first month was really hard, like REALLY hard. I felt like I was wasting my time, because I couldn’t connect as well as my later morning workouts. But our beautiful bodies adjust! It’s kind of amazing. I lay out my clothes the night before, have a general workout in mind, then sometimes, I change it in the morning if I’m feeling like what I picked isn’t matching how my body is feeling.

And, I have one day a week where I still get up at 5:30, but don’t do a workout and do something else. Like work on my art, plan the garden, or enjoy my coffee in a quiet house. I think the idea is removing as much friction as you can, so that this something you WANT to do. I’m not in a good state if I don’t do these workouts, and so, I recognize that for me, it’s far less friction to just get up and do them and start the day well, rather than keep sleeping, not do my workout, and have a rotten day. BUT again, You’ve got to find what works and is worth it for you!
