Get enough sleep
Everyone needs to let their hair down from time to time and this often means a ‘late night’ This, in itself, is not really a problem.

But, when one late night turns into two, and then three it can become a problem when your fitness levels are concerned.

Getting a proper night’s sleep, which often means going to bed at a reasonable hour helps your body recover and also helps you wake up refreshed and ready for the day.

Erratic sleep patterns can often lead to tiredness during the day and a lack of focus and motivation.

It’s important for many people to exercise in the morning rather than the evening because intense exercise during the evening can increase your energy and alertness which might have a knock on effect when trying to sleep.

If however you go to bed at a reasonable time but find it hard to drop off to sleep try some Yoga or even meditation before bed as these are proven ways to relax the mind and body.

Walk where you can
People often underestimate how good walking can be for you. As part of a simple, and easy to maintain fitness routine, walking where you can is without doubt one of the best choices you can make.

Walking, to complement your fitness routine doesn’t need to be something you plan for either. While walking in the morning has its benefits (it’s much cooler), walking whenever you can will help. This includes walking to work, walking on your lunch break, walking while you are on the phone and even more.

Basically, walking when you can means just that. Don’t stay seated for too long and don’t take the bus or the car when you could easily walk to the store or walk to work.

Walking helps with muscle tone, helps with cardio fitness by increasing your heart rate and helps with mobility too.

Workout in the morning
If your schedule allows, try to workout in the morning

Working out with a personal trainer, on your own or in the gym in the morning provides several benefits when compared with working out in the evening or after work.

Distractions. Getting up early and working out means there are less distractions. When you get up early and start your workout before your normal schedule begins you’ll have more time to yourself.


Increased alertness. You know how it feels. When you wake up you tend to feel a little groggy. When you exercise in the morning it can increase your alertness for the rest of the day ahead.


Increased energy. Although it might not feel like it immediately, exercising and working out in the morning will definitely give you more energy throughout the day. Your heart rate will be raised and your muscles pumped. This makes you feel like you have more energy.


It’s much cooler in the morning. If you like to exercise outside, whether that’s weight training or even jogging then you need to beat the heat. The only way to do this effectively is to train during the early hours.


Focused. If you suffer with lack of focus and lack of concentration during the day then working out during the early hours of the morning will definitely help. Physical activity when you wake up makes you more energised and helps increase your attention during the later parts of the day.


Better sleep. Working out later in the day or in the evening can make your sleep patterns erratic. The reason for this is because if you workout later you’ll tend to be more energised and active before bed. Working out in the morning has the opposite effect.

Drink water when you wake up
We should be drinking more water than we probably do. However, many people turn to tea or coffee as their first drink of the day.

While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, drinking water in the morning with a slice of lemon helps in several ways.

Firstly it will help hydrate your body and clear your mind for the day ahead. It will help replace hydration you’ve lost during the night.

Secondly, adding a slice of lemon to your morning glass of water has a detoxification effect on the liver, helping remove toxins from the body.

So, try swapping out your morning coffee for a large glass of water for a few weeks and see if you feel the difference it makes to your morning routine.
