One Morning Ritual Could Be Harming Your Energy & Sleep
If you exercise in the mornings, read this
I’m motivated to exercise in the mornings.
I don’t have time available during the evening for exercise.
Making excuses later in the evenings is a habit of mine.
However, I feel that my reasons are quite legitimate.
I’m a mum; I work full time and studying for a graduate certificate in IT. That’s a lot to do daily- mornings are my special time slots.
An hour and a half is time for ‘me’ where I work out and set myself up for a productive and busy day ahead.
When I wake up — it’s pretty early.
Usually, I need about 20 minutes to gather my brain up from a sleepy mess.
Then I grab some hot water with lemon, ginger, and a nice, black, dark-filtered coffee!
Without these two drinks — I can’t make it to my front door, let alone the gym’s entrance.
Caffeine does more than wake us up. It also boosts cognitive and physical performance. Several well-known studies prove this (to be exact, about 800).
You don’t have to resort to coffee only.
