The A.M. Workout!

This mourning at 5:30a.m. I was at the gym. I’m switching to the A.M. workout so I can be more productive during the evening. A lot of my friends,family and clients are asking me what do I think about the A.M. workout. For beginners there are some pluses and minuses, it might not be for everyone.

Why I love the A.M. workout:

  • I feel fully rested and my testosterone is at its highest.
  • It gives me an instant boost in metabolism
  • Fasted workout hopefully targets fat for fuel instead of any stored carbs
  • Not to many times where I can say I started the day doing something for myself (not my boss,family or neighbor)
  • After waking up early and working hard …I’m a little more commited to eating clean and geared to having a productive day.

A couple of reasons why I don’t like it:

  • I’m a little rushed and off by the time I get to work.
  • I usually do get going until my 3rd or 4th set.
  • Works up a little appetite.
  • I love my sleep.

Overall, I tell people the best time to workout is when you can!

I’m doing this so I can lose 15-20lbs, getting me down to 9% bodyfat…can we say hello beach? It will take me some time getting use to the new schedule but they say “…3 straight weeks and you got a habit.” I also have a workout partner, so the commitment is a no brainer. Finally, I can squeeze in some cardio and improve my fitness before I hit the sack.

    Hi! I am going to link to this post tomorrow on my blog: http://blackgirlfitrevolution.blogspot.com/

    I personally prefer to workout in the morning. The good thing is that it is out of the way and I don't have to worry about it. And I feel energized all day. That is important to me. I do sometimes feel rushed though because I can never seem to peel myself out of bed in time. :)
