Early EARLY morning exercise

Does anyone exercise at 6 in the morning routinely? I think it might be good but i'm so lazy. Can any early birds convert me?

Thanks for all the replies lol Grin

I've been successfully losing weight recently and I want to fit in even more exercise and the early mornings are the only place. Maybe i'll turn into a disney princess-type who dances and sings at the arse crack of dawn?

I'll (really actually) try it tomorrow. I think. The worst that can happen is that I'm exhausted the rest of the day, not so bad...It's just so creepy in the mornings when everyone's asleep though Haloween SadHalloween Smile

Yes. Alarm at 6 then I potter about a bit to wake up. I am usually exercising by 6.30 and finished by 7.15 latest.
When I was under 45 I didn't need the pottering.
I always feel better when in this routine.

Yes - alarm at 5:45.

It is hideous getting out of bed sometimes, but once I'm dressed it's fine.

Mornings are getting lighter here, which helps at this time of year.

I did it in the summer before a holiday - I was doing morning and evening and did find the mornings ok. Plus you feel SO good after it. Give it a try :)

Not currently due to the dark mornings but in the spring / summer & early autumn I was up at 5.30am and going out for a run - it was great!

I'd love to be an early morning exercise person

I used to when a bit younger I.e before menopause

Never felt better when I was in that routine if I'm honest

I do. Up at six and out of the house 20 minutes later. Run for 30 minutes. I hate it, but I hate not doing it even more.
The best thing about it is that it’s done and out of the way.
Does me bugger all good though, I’m still a fat fuck.
