The early bird catches the worm!

The worm of fitness.
There are so many benefits to having an early morning jog or walk. So many people think that if they wake up early and go for a jog they will be tired through the day, but this is not the case. You will actually start to become more energized with every outing.
You force yourself to oxygenate your body giving yourself a great health boost for the start of the day. Then on top of that you have a shower to help freshen up. What a fantastic way to start the day.
If you struggle to find time after work to get a bit of exercise in why not try the early morning option. I even know a chap who uses it as 20 minutes of HIM time and he doesn't have to sort out the kids during this time.
Here are some tips to make that early morning jog.
Go with someone else. It feels better knowing someone else is up at this crazy hour too.
Take the dog. Or your neighbors dog. Keep the family pet fit at the same time.
Get an mp3 player and fill it with pumping beats. This helps distract your mind from the jog. The more pumping bass you have the more energy you should feel.
Set mini goals and have a path to jog. Try and jog further with each outing along the track you select.
Try and set a loop path if you can. Going in a path that makes you stop and turn around can break your stride.
If you have any tips to share please post them up here.
