Guilt prevention
My days often take on a life of their own (full of what I call "emergencies du jour"). If I get up and get my workout done before I do anything else, then I can silence that voice in the back of my mind reminding me I need to work out, or prevent me from feeling guilty if I can't get around to it.
Guilt is a big motivator with me - I went to Catholic school. :rolleyes: |

Still trying 2 yrs later....
Strange how this thread I started resurfaced
Working out in a morning has eluded me so far after various attempts, so here I am again trying to get up and get active first thing in a morning, over 2 years later I'm not ambitious I just want to do 30 mins on my treadmill - nothing complicated - so I can enjoy a much longer yoga practice in the evening after a day at work. Hopefully this will be the additional incentive i need to keep the momentum going this time. Today is day 2 - only 98 to go J |

I jump out of bed really early every morning because I know once I exercise in the morning, my day will start off on a positive note and when I get home from work, I have time to myself and my exercise is out of the way. If I have to stop somewhere after work, it doesn't interfere with my workout. I also work out in the morning because I have a herniated disc and getting moving in the morning early on....helps my pain.

Wow!
I feel a little silly--just last week I started a thread in General Discussion on this very topic! (What gets you out of bed to do it?)
I didn't know this 2 1/2 year old thread was sitting in here... Funny, when this one got started, I had a 6-month old baby, lived in a different ciry, and knew nothing about VF. Now I have a 3 yr. old and a 1 yr. old, and can't imagine life without VF! Gisela |

I get up at 4:30 a.m. and just love the peacefullness of being the only one in the house that is out of bed...this is my time, where no one needs anything and I can have uninterrupted time for myself. Whether this is a good fitness tip or not...I set my coffee maker to go off about 15 minutes, before I get up and the smell of coffee makes me want to get up and have my first cup....I am a coffee addict.

I get up to work out! I love working out, and it's MY time ... actually the whole morning is my time; I get up even earlier so I can have a relaxed breakfast with a book after my workout. I used to have the most awful time getting out of bed when there was nothing to look forward to except work!
