3 Things You Should Do Before A Morning Workout

1. Drink a glass of water upon waking:  You're probably a little dehydrated from lack of liquid because you've been sleeping for hours....  drink a glass of water to re-hydrate, flush out toxins and help get your metabolism going.  You don't have to gulp it all at once, you can drink it along with your coffee, tea, breakfast or as you're getting ready.
2. Have a pre-workout snack:  Okay, this depends on how soon you begin your workout after waking.  If you workout within 30 minutes to maybe even an hour after waking than your energy level may be okay.  Any longer then that you probably should have a small snack for energy to get you through your workout.  Try to pair a carbohydrate with a protein, maybe a banana with peanut butter, whole wheat toast with peanut butter or almond butter, string cheese and an apple....  BUT, everybody is different, listen to your body and do what works best for you!!
3. Immediately put on your workout clothes when you wake up:  I am not kidding!  This will psych up your brain for your workout and mentally prepare you to get it done.  By getting yourself ready first thing in the morning you're telling yourself it will happen!  Don't underestimate the power of suggestion!

These are just my thoughts, cares, and typically what I do and it seems to work for me!  Try different approaches and do what works best for you!  By giving yourself every little advantage you can, you may be more successful in fulfilling your fitness goals.

Now get out there and be active!!
