I can sleep 12 hours a day. I can sleep like you wouldn't believe.
But life is too short and I want to get as much as I could out of it.
Last Thursday I started another experiment. I decided to change my workout routine.
Now my alarm wakes me up at 5:48am. 2 minutes to talk to myself and kick my ass to the washroom.
Have my 15 min prep and at 6:15am I am on my bus heading work.
Here is what I can tell you guys – there is another life at 6am.
There is a hidden, secret society of people who're thoroughly hiding from "9am folks". They breath, they talk and they are awake.
First day I went to the gym in the morning, I have mistakenly thought that I am gonna have a personal bus driver… Right…a personal bus driver… I was lucky enough to get a seat.
Einstein was so damn right - time is relative.
What takes me 15 minutes at 5:30pm, transforms to 3 min at 6am. At 6:18 I am at my gym’s entrance. And if 30 min ago I was in a deep sleep, now I am totally awake (thanks to fresh November mornings!).
And I am working out. For the next 60 minutes. It is a great feeling. To raise an arm with a barbell and see how the sun is rising after it.
Ladies, here is why morning cardio is good for you:
- After waking up your body has a lower (compare to the evening) level of glycogen (Carbs). By working out in the morning, you can get to the point when you start burning fat much faster.
- You are increasing your metabolism and continue burning calories after the session – and you keep this stage longer than if you’d do it in the evening and go to sleep after.
- You charge yourself for the whole day. While most of people are sleepy and sluggish, you are fresh and happy.
- You save an extra hour (or two) for your evening!
Should you try? J
Btw, if you think that “1 week before the beach season is opened is gonna be enough”, you are SOO wrong. Even if you are skinny by nature. “Skinny” and “Shaped” are two totally different conditions of your body.
P.S. I am healthy and don’t have any heart issues. If you have any concerns regarding your health, talk to your doctor first. Don’t read blogs or try to find an answer on the internet. Have a health examination and if everything is alright, go ahead and join me!
Cheers!
