Default Exersize in first thing in the Morning

As a previous over and under exersizer, I have finally struck the right balance between doing enough exersize and enjoying it.

The most powerful thing I have found is doing my exersize early in the morning before my day gets too busy. I like to go to the gym at abour 6.30am for an hour. I go in feeling tired and leave feeling energized. So don't let a little sleepiness stand in your way!!

I have tried going later in the day, but I find I get to busy and caught up in other things and it never happens. I have been going to the gym about 4 times a week in the mornings now for about six months. It was hard at first and I didn't enjoy it but after the initial adjustment period I got to like it and now its a habit. I go at a regular time every weekday morning. THe other thing I found is, exersizing by myself on the treadmill or bike gets boring fast. I watch every second go by and find myself wavering thinking, "I know I was meant to do twenty minutes cycling, but 15 is really ok." Whereas, going to a class at the gym or walking with someone is far more enjoyable. I get into the activity and theres a sense of teamwork, you can't quit because everyone's in it together!!
