The biggest constraint most people have with exercise is that they just cannot wake up early. It is often difficult to work out in the evenings; there are things that stop you from working out – traffic, work stress, laziness or just simply because you have a social event to go to. The best way to tackle this is to keep exercise as the first thing in the morning and make it a routine.

However, if you are someone who reaches out for the snooze button even before the alarm goes off, here are a few things that can help:

1.Sleep early

This is a no-brainer! If you want to wake up early, you need to sleep early and ensure that you are not awake late. Staying up and using gadgets tires you and inhibits you from having a fresh early start. Try to switch off all your gadgets and sleep at least an hour earlier than you would.

 

2.Pack your workout clothes the night before

Ensure you pack your workout clothes, water bottle and anything else you might need for a morning workout well in advance. This helps your mind to adjust to the fact that you have a class to go to. What is even better? You don’t have to pick out your clothes in a half sleepy state!

3.Set two alarms

Set two alarms and keep them away from the bed and away from each other! This is some serious work for anyone who refuses to wake up in the morning. If you keep your alarm near your bed, you have the tendency to hit snooze and go back to sleep. However, getting up and walking to your alarm gives you that extra chance to wake up and get on with the day.

4.Keep breakfast ready

For most people, it is not just about waking up but it is also about the list of tasks they have to do once they wake up. By keeping breakfast ready, you have something to look forward to when you wake up and you know that one of your tasks is already done. Keep your pre-workout smoothie ready and in place to give you that extra motivation to jump out of bed!
