JJ Virgin says the real reason to exercise in the morning is you'll actually do it. Afternoon workouts get canceled by life. Morning sessions also boost your mood for the whole day and build momentum through accountability, whether that's a partner, a class, or a challenge.
Biggest reason probably to exercise in the morning is because you'll actually do it, right? If you leave it to later in the day and something comes up, guess what? Something didn't happen and it was your exercise. Or maybe I'll go, I'm so not interested in it this way. And when I do it in the morning, it's like it just sets the tone for the day. It's such a great mood booster. It gets me inspired, it gets me fired up, and you know, I feel good about myself because I did it. So create a plan. And ideally, your plan varies between resistance training one day, high-intensity interval training the next. Let's get in at least 3 days of resistance training. So resistance training one day, high-intensity interval training the next, and get a pal to do it with, or go to a class, or join a challenge so you have some accountability.
