How do you get energy ?

Question

How do you guys get the energy in the morning to work out? I really want to start working out in the morning because it does give me more energy during the day but I’m having so much trouble getting started because I’m exhausted in the morning and not a morning person at all. I don’t like coffee so that’s definitely out I do like yea though but it doesn’t really work for me with energy

Answer

You just have to work out and it will naturally give you energy! It works the other way around 🙃

Answer

Honestly, you're just going to have to force yourself until it becomes a habit. I HATE getting up early. I am not a morning person. But I get up every day before everyone else in my house so I can get my son off to school and get myself to the gym. I've been going for roughly a year and even though I still dislike mornings, I can drag myself out of bed and get moving. Now I feel crummy if I don't get up and go. It takes 30 days for something to become a habit, your brain needs time to create that new neural pathway. Just keep at it! It's hard, but its worth it.

Answer

What helps me is that my alarm goes off earlier than my husbands and i intentionally put mine on the other side of the room. That way i need to jump out of bed and race to the alarm in order to not wake him up, and it gives me the burst of energy i need to start being productive

Answer

Honestly just discipline and accountability. Push yourself because no one else will do it for you.
Have some mantras on your wall so it's the first thing you see in the morning. Write down "why" you want to workout in the morning so you can read it when you want to fall back to sleep. 
It can say things like "Do it for yourself, you know it will make you feel and look your best", "The only bad workout is the one that doesn't happen", "Today I will do what other's don't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what other's can't". Just Google some inspiration quotes and recite them in the morning. 
Have your workout clothes ready next to you and pre-meal at night for your breakfast. 
Book classes in the morning, so it holds you accountable. 
Honestly consistent workouts have to do more with will power than physical will. Thankfully it takes 3 weeks to form a habit, so once you rough it out for this time, your body will crave it and it'll just be an innate part of your morning routine. 
Remember, a little progress each day, add up to big results tomorrow, so it's totally worth it.

Answer

Energy drink

Answer

Every body is different but for me, I usually start with a nutrient dense breakfast: balance combo of protein, carbs and fats. I got rid of coffee so I just started using organic energy drinks like Celsius, etc. Supplements like b12 also helps and gives you that energy boost that you need. Hope this helps!

Answer

I don't. I work out after everyone goes to bed. For me I have energy at night, and exercise helps me get that out. Then I do some relaxing stretches and ￼￼when I am done, I am tired. Then I take a nice, relaxing shower and I go right to bed.￼ Sometimes I will just go for a quick brisk walk in the morning to get the blood pumping, but most mornings I don't. I need my extra sleep in the morning.￼ But I do stretch every single morning. Just a few mobility stretches to get me going. ￼

Answer

Exercise gives me energy. Sounds counterintuitive, but I'm more productive after exercising. 
Sufficient calories and hydration are needed to be able to exercise. Caffeine helps too!
