I ‘usually’ have a bit of a morning routine, but the past few weeks I’ve been in a real slump, I’ll sit down ready to do some sit-ups, and end up just playing with my toes for half an hour! USUALLY I like to do a few sets of sit-ups and push-ups, a couple sets of something with dunbells, then a good 30 min to an hour of yoga after a hot shower. Today I only managed one short set each of sit-ups & push-ups… let’s see how I go!

I usually doa 4 mile run in the early morning… so i hope this challenge does well for me!

before it snowed and turned icy outside i was running or walking 3 miles a day, im in the market for a treadmill and plan on doing that soon. i am in a real slump right now. i need to get back on track, its been hard with my birthday in november and thanksgiving. i will try harder tomorrow!

I am going to get movin!

i am going to make it a habit to exercise every morning. Lets get moving!!!!

I excercise everyday. I mainly swim one mile in an indoor pool. To offset the routine I walk 4-5.5 miles in 50 min. to 1 hr. 15 min. I bike on a nature course (weather permitting), and do about 45 min of weight excercies every other day.

I used to have a morning routine, but have fallen out of it. Now my husband sleeps later and I’ll wake him up if I’m on our elliptical, time to get him motivated too!

I bought a new workout machine, a Gazelle, I love it and have been using it for at least 10 minutes each morning for the last month. Now if I can just get back on track with my dieting.

I go to the gym everyday for 1-3 hours. Not only is it good for you physically..but mentally as well!!

I believe that exeercising in the morning is very beneficial, because I get home late at night, and cannot exercise at nights. My day is from 6:30a.m.-11:00p.m.

I will start a morning exercise routine on December 13, 2007. Please keep me lifted in this endeavor, because it can be very challenging because of my schedule. Also, I start how with a vigor, and get off course.

I currently run/walk 3 miles on my treadmill as the snow and ice have put a big kabash on training outside. It is hard to stay motivated but I hope to be able to stick with it.

I promise myself to start a morning exercises routine Monday thru Saturday. My biggest obstacle is motivation. But I truly need to start living a healthier life style.

I just tried my new gift DDR and am hoping that adding that to my stationary bike and weight training will shed some pounds and help me feel more alive.

In 2004, I found myself at my highest weight..264. I was miserable. My health was bad, and to add to my low self-esteem, my marraige seemed to fail as well. In September of that same year, my brother was diagnosed at 34 with diabetes. I vowed to change. I started eating right, and slowly added exercise. In a two year period, I lost over 100 pounds. I’ve gained 40 back because of the holidays and changes in my life. I need to get some motivation! I am starting Monday, January 7th, as the day I take my life back! :) My goal is to get back into the 14 pair of size 10 jeans that are in my closet, instead of wearing the 16’s I am in now! Please Please help me keep motivated! Thank you all!

Lissy, Keep up the good work, I unfortunately know how you feel, My wife and I were expecting a baby, and of course I ate all the junk food and take out that came with it, but She developed preeclampsia five months into her pregnancy, and we lost our baby girl, Of course it took it’s toll on both of us, and I ballooned up to 272 pounds. Finally my wife said “That’s it” ! Yes I feel bad and yes I almost lost my life, but we’re still here, and I want to live. That was last August, as of now I’m at 237, and we just purchased a treadmill for Christmas, so I say, Yes life throws you some bad deals, but life is to long, Live it happy,

I’ve been working out in the morning since I quit smoking 18 years ago. I started to help control any weight gain that I was afraid of and it just became part of my lifestyle. I feel energized, strong, and ready to face the day. I save kickboxing for evenings!

it helps me start my day out i feel. i feel so much better about my day.

I started today! I really thought I’d be tired after waking up an hour earlier (4am), but it’s the middle of the day…and I’m fine! By 5am I had the satisfaction of knowing that I had already accomplished 1 goal for the day!

I really thought that I’d be tired after waking up an hour earlier (4am), but it’s the middle of the work day and I still feel fine! I felt a great deal of satisfaction knowing that I had already accomplished 1 goal for the day by 5am!

I hate getting up early in the morning! I got a gym membership at a gyn a mile away from my house and with my insurance I get $20.00 off every month I go 12 times. I wont go in the evenings because I take my dogs for a walk in the evening and I don’t want them to sit in their kennels all day and all night. So I really have to push myself to get up with a little help from my husband!!

Got up this morning-even though it was raining, I managed to get to the gym for some strength training and afterwards I will have a kashi trailbar for my snack. Good Luck everyone with your challenges!!!!!

I’m loving getting up in the morning going to the gym. I’ve noticed that when I workout early, my day goes so smooth!!
