Morning Workout Update: I need some motivation!

 OK, So I have been blogging about wanting to add a morning workout in a addition to my evening workout for about a week now. Key word, blogging/ wanting to add... I am still doing my evening workouts faithfully. I am still working out 3-4 days out of the week., for 1-2 hours at a time. My goal was to add running for longer periods at a time(which I have been doing,), and morning workouts to the mix. I have been running longer, but this morning workout is getting me and I don't know why. Here's the thing. I wake up early everyday, between 6:30-7:15am sometimes earlier. I don't have to be at work until 9am so I have amble enough time to pop a DVD in the TV and workout for 30mins -1 hour, take a shower, then head to work. Its not that I am tired or anything. Because I get up, look around, change the channel on the TV, and since I have been working with my training, I added breakfast to my diet. So i make breakfast.( Don't get too excited on the breakfast. Its instant stuff like oatmeal,and cereal and fruit, something you can whip up in less than 5 mins.) So I don't know what I need to do to get myself motivated to workout in the morning, I am all the way motivated in the afternoon, and I get upset, if I think I wont make it to gym. I don't know what I need to do get that humph in the morning. Any suggestions????

  1. I would say start off slow. Like, psych yourself out by telling yourself you only have to do it for 5 minutes. Then, once you start its easier to keep going. But, in the morning the prospect of working out is going to keep you in bed so you have to find a way to psych yourself into just getting started. The hardest part is getting started. Then, once you get used to working out in the morning it will be much easier.
