Start the day right!
There are many benefits to morning workouts. First of all, working out in the morning means you haven’t depleted your energy stores. Many individuals report being able to push further and go harder when they work out in the morning. Second, an early-morning workout kickstarts your metabolism. It gets all of your systems going. Finally, it energizes you for the day. A morning workout can be more effective than a cup of coffee!
Another benefit of morning workouts is that they help beginners establish a routine. You can exercise your self-discipline and begin working towards your fitness goals. If this has convinced you morning workouts are right for you, we invite you to take our 7-Day Beginner’s 10-Minute Morning Workout Challenge!
