Morning worker outers

[joenali]

Wish me luck! I HAVE to swim in the mornings! I HAVE to! It's good for my mind and my foot. Plus, they just took out $80 from my account, so now I am bound by money. Last month, I got some sort of deal and only had to pay $20. I only went once. Can someone throw me out of bed at 5 am? The pool in literally a 2 minute drive from my house. I have zero excuses!

Good Luck!! I just started working out at 5 am and it was tough the first week. I just get up now before my alarm clock. You can do it!!

Good luck, at least with the time change it will feel like 6 tomorrow.

Do it!! Youll feel great all day!

I love it. It takes a week or so to get used to it, but once you are, it's the best.

Good luck!

You could set up an accountability buddy to help. Maybe someone else who gets up at the ass crack of dawn would be willing to reach out and make sure you got up. Of course you'd have to respond.

I sleep in my workout clothes to make it easier to get up and out the door

I'm not sleeping in my bathing suit! Lol!

You can do it! The first 20 mins after waking up are the worst, buy then you'll feel amazing for the whole rest of the day!

Good luck!

It is hard to get in a cold pool in the morning, but I am so tired after work that I feel like I might drown.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Leave your phone in the bathroom so you have to get up to turn it off. I set up everything the night before, then change into my suit literally whilst sitting on the toilet when I get up. Lol

Then I go downstairs, grab my banana and water bottle, and out the door.

Yay! Good luck! I'm getting up at 5:30 for my first 6am workout tomorrow (last week I only made it to the 7am class). Have fun!

[itsme]

I'm up at 5 daily so I could wake you up with tons of texts if you are on PST.

[ktzmoh]

You are on the left coast, right? I can text you and tell you to gtf out of bed! (That will also help me get up lol)

[chw57]

Oh man I am so jealous! I miss 5:30 masters practice soooo much.

[emilyinchile]

I set everything out the night before including my bag with snacks so that the morning is as quick as possible.

Did you go this morning?

Yep and I'm still alive to talk about it!

The one time I did a 5:30am swim this summer, I felt AMAZING the rest of the day.

Okay it was only a half mile OWS, so not a huge workout, but I was shocked that I didn't feel tired.

[mollyrunner]

Yay! Glad you did it. I feel like it works better if I consistently get up early (maybe one day of sleep in)
