I am SOO not a morning person. At all. Buuut... I much prefer being finished my workout early in the day so that I can have fun in the evening. Getting up before work to work out has proven to be incredibly challenging. So here is how to get up early to fit in a work out in 15 easy steps.
1. set around 500 alarms the night before.
2. tell your roommate to call you at 5:45 am so that you really can't avoid the workout
3. argue with your roommate about why she should get up at the crack of dawn just to make sure that you do.
4. learn to deal with the fact that you're an adult and have to be responsible for your own wake up times.
5. go to bed really, really early. so you can get up at the earliest time of day and feel energized and ready.
6. Lay in bed for 45 minutes wishing you could fall asleep.
7. Watch 3 episodes of Sex and the City since you can't sleep anyways. Start drifting off as you contemplate whether you love or hate Miranda.
8. Wake up to your first of 500 alarms. Turn off all of your alarms because you're sooo going to get out of...
9. Wake up an hour later and realize you totally haven't made it out of bed yet. If you get up now, you can still fit in a 45 minute Zumba video before work.
10. Bargain with yourself for fifteen minutes. If you just get up and go for a light jog for 30 minutes, you can totally have the full-fat latte at Starbucks.
11. Holy crap, now you've only got half an hour. If you really think about it, you can only work out for 20 minutes because you have to get ready for work after and you really don't want to be late.
12. Maybe you can fit in a quick power walk. You did wake up early, after all.
13. Nah. Decide that if you just eat healthy for the day and try to walk a lot while at work, you can skip the work out.
14. Sleep for 15 extra minutes.
15. Have the full-fat latte at Starbucks anyways. Decide you'll start tomorrow because "Thursdays are a better day to start a fitness/diet regimen anyways."
