AM exercisers - what makes you get up?

[jackier]

I am a morning person and always have been. And I used to workout consistently in the morning. What I'm having a problem with are two things. One is since I'm in menopause, sometimes I don't sleep well. (That and teenage sons up and about at night.) If you don't sleep well, do you still workout? I've always read you should be well rested to workout effectively. So I think, I'll sleep a little more and do the workout later in the day, which may or may not happen. For me, it's ALWAYS better to work out in the morning, because I can accomplish more in the day. The other is I worry about getting a really good workout in so early. As I'm getting older (51), I find it takes longer for my body to *gear up* in the morning. Do you notice a difference as you age, or is it just what your body gets used to?

I too am impressed that you've been so consistent. I am consistent with my exercise, but when I exercise on any given day is whenever, and it affects the other things I need to do.

Thanks
