A.M. vs. P.M.

Filed Under Fitness, Health|Nutrition |

Maybe it’s just a matter of preference or maybe it’s more. Maybe it’s like the difference between morning coffee and evening coffee, breakfast crepes and dessert crepes. Are workouts meant to be an A.M. or a P.M. thing?

What We Love About AM Workouts. Nothing starts off a long day like a solid workout. Apart from getting the endorphins flowing, it’s a great feeling to start your day off by dominating your workout, it makes that lunch meeting a little bit less intimidating. A morning workout is normally followed by a nice, healthy morning meal and we all know breakfast is the important meal of the day (or so they say). A morning workout also allows you to wake up a little bit earlier, which means by the time you finish and head to work you’re already wide awake and ready to attack the day.

What We Hate About AM Workouts. 5am is soooo early! The last thing you feel like doing at the crack of dawn is rolling out of bed, finding cute workout clothes and heading to the gym. Trying to tackle hair and makeup at the gym isn’t high on our list of things we feel like doing in the morning either.

What We Love About PM Workouts. There’s something to be said about the dedication that it takes to make it through a long day and still head to the gym to get your workout in. That post workout high seems just a little bit more intense after a long day and we love it.

What We Hate About PM Workouts. When life gets in the way and we never quite make it to that workout, which seems to happen more than we’d like it to. PM workouts can be tough because there are so many other things competing for your time, like dinner!

Whether you decide that you’re a morning workout kind of a girl or  an evening workout kind of girl, the most important element to maintaining a consistent workout is having a plan. Start keeping a workout journal that lays out your workout schedule, that way you’ll be able to look back on your week and evaluate your progress. Think about this, when you have a lot of errands to run in a day you sit down and plan out your day, look at your workout the same way, sit down at the beginning of your week and create a plan of action. A well thought out plan is the first step to consistent workouts.
