Start Your Day Off Right
I know that many of you may not like this idea, but have you ever considered doing a little exercise right when you get up? Granted, some of you probably do this anyway, but I also know that a lot of us are more the afternoon and evening gym goers.
Also, I’m not talking about even going to the gym. What if you started your day of by doing some pushups and situps, ride a stationary bike, or maybe a little yoga. Nothing big, just a quick little 10 minute “warm-up” to your day.
Think about the benefits of starting your day out this way:
- It gets you out of bed!
- Gets you energized, heart pumping
- Helps you be more alert during the day
- Helps you to get a little exercise every day
This is not intended to replace your regular workout, you could still do that later in the day if you are an afternoon or evening gym goer. But talk about a great way to start off your day.
I would challenge you to give it a try for 7 days. Then see how you feel. This type of a morning routine can really help you to reach your lifetime fitness goals!

This is a great idea… I’ve actually been thinking about starting some sort of routine like this lately, but I’m usually so tired in the morning that the thought of exercise makes me stay in bed an extra 10 minutes. You’re 100% correct, though, and this is a great way to get your day going and kind of sets the whole tone for making healthy decisions during the rest of the day.
I love doing exercises in the morning. Always gets the blood flowing, and gets me pumped up for the day.
I’ve been doing this for a long time. It’s really wonderful to exercise in the morning, especially if I can go outside, or at least open some windows to have some fresh air. It brings oxygen to the brain, leaving me more alert and able to concentrate better throughout the day.
wow, cool idea. i am definitely going to give this a try. if it works for me i will give you all the credit.
Jagad Guru das,
I think its a great thing to do. I think for most people it may not be a full workout, but even just getting up and doing a few pushups and situps can be a great way to start your day!
Israel,
Thanks for the compliment, but you can take the credit for yourself for making things happen!
