Are you feeling too busy to fit in a workout? You’re not alone. Many people struggle to find the time to exercise, especially busy professionals with hectic schedules and busy lives. But did you know that we have found that when clients train in the morning they manage to complete their sessions more effectively and are happy that they have the afternoon/nights to themselves. Here are just a few of the benefits our clients say when they exercise in the morning.
- Improved energy levels: From the feedback we get with training clients who are busy professionals, starting your day off on a high note and training in the morning sets you up for a more energised day. Exercise helps to increase blood flow and oxygen levels in the body, which can help you feel more alert and awake. Plus, the endorphins released during exercise can help to boost your mood and give you an extra boost of energy.
- Better focus and productivity: Studies have shown that regular exercise can improve cognitive function and boost productivity. When you work out in the morning, you’re giving your brain a chance to start the day off on the right foot. Plus, the energy and focus you gain from your morning workout can help you tackle your to-do list more effectively.
- Increased willpower: Willpower is like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. By making the decision to exercise in the morning, you’re strengthening your willpower and setting yourself up for success for the rest of the day. When you start your day off with a win, you’re more likely to make healthy choices throughout the day.
- Better sleep: From surveying our clients,, morning exercise could be the solution for a better nights sleep. Regular exercise has been shown to improve sleep quality, and morning workouts can help to regulate your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. Plus, the fatigue you feel after a workout can help you sleep better at night.
- Time management: One of the biggest barriers to exercise for all our clients who are very time poor is finding the time for training. By fitting in a morning workout, you’re taking care of your fitness needs first thing in the day, leaving the rest of your day free for work, family, and other responsibilities. Plus, with your workout out of the way, you won’t have to worry about fitting it in later when you’re feeling more tired or overwhelmed.
Incorporating a morning workout into your routine may take some getting used to, but the benefits are well worth it. So if you’re feeling too busy to exercise, try fitting in a workout first thing in the morning – your body (and your busy schedule) will thank you.
In summary, exercising in the morning has numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. It can improve energy levels, focus, and productivity, increase willpower, and improve sleep quality. Additionally, fitting in a morning workout can help with time management, allowing for the rest of the day to be dedicated to other responsibilities and obligations. Many people struggle to find time to exercise, but starting the day with a workout can help set a positive tone for the rest of the day.
