Starting a healthy lifestyle is easy, one of which is a regular exercise. When you are active and diligent, exercise routines will definitely never be absent. But there are times when the spirit relaxes and causes you to be lazy to exercise, especially in the morning. While for people who are accustomed to waking up in the afternoon, morning exercise is a routine that is very difficult to do.
How do you overcome these two things? So that the morning exercise plan is not just a discourse, see the following tips.
Tips for morning sports success
Reporting from Women 's Health, Jordan Metzl, M.D., a sports health expert at New York City Hospital, revealed that getting up early and exercising is a difficult routine especially done continuously. Even though exercise in the morning is very beneficial, such as supporting fitness and metabolism. Here are the steps for you to be successful in the morning.
1. Pay attention to dinner
Smart choosing a dinner menu will help you sleep better and wake up early. Heavy food will take about six to eight hours to be completely digested.
This causes you to wake up with your stomach feeling full, your body feels lethargic and finally lazy for exercise. Eating spicy foods can also make you stomach ache when you wake up and spend your morning with a bowel movement.
To prevent this, try to eat dinner early and choose lighter foods, such as brown rice, steamed broccoli, or foods that contain low-fat protein. Thus, you will feel more refreshed and ready to start various physical activities in the morning.
2. Prepare an alarm
If you are among those who have difficulty getting up early, setting an alarm before going to bed can help you get up. So, before going to bed, make sure the alarm clock or alarm on your cellphone is active according to the time you want. If necessary, take notes on the alarm on your cellphone with encouraging words so you are motivated to get up early.
3. If necessary, invite friends
When the sound of the alarm is not powerful enough to wake you up, invite friends to exercise together. Ask your friends for help to wake you up, via text message or chat, telephone, even come to your house.
These disorders must be effective to get you really up early and ready for exercise.
4. Have enough sleep time
Many people who think that morning to evening is work time while night time is time to break away from work. Yes, that can be said to be true if you use the night to rest your body instead of watching TV, playing games, or chat with your friends late at night.
So, try to adjust your sleep time. Begin to sleep early so you have enough time to rest. Change the habit of reading a book before going to bed with a quick soak in warm water can help you sleep faster.
5. Let's get up and exercise
When the alarm sounds, do not just turn off or delay the alarm. The purpose of delaying a few minutes to sleep again actually makes you more lazy to wake up later. As a result, you will fail again getting up early for sports. So, it's useless, right?
For this reason, if you hear an alarm sound, try to take a sitting position, then give motivation in your heart, "Let's get up, exercise, and live a healthy life!", For example. Then, stand up and open your room window so that the morning light makes your eyes open.
In order for the body to be more eager to start sports, do some simple stretching movements. If you plan to exercise outdoors, don't forget to bring a small towel and drinking water so that your body remains hydrated.
