5 Ways To Make Yourself A Morning Workout Person

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> As you probably heard by now, this month we joined forces with Women’s Health to create a box of get-moving beauty samples. We’ll be sharing intel from their editors all month, including this genius advice for tricking yourself into working out in the morning. You've tried to become one of those morning workout people (gotta love 'em!), but when that dreaded alarm goes off, your body is all, 'No. Just no.' And by the time your mind remembers that you totally wouldn't hate running a marathon or rocking a crazy pack of abs, you've already hit snooze four too many times to get to the gym for the intense morning sweat session that you penciled into your schedule the day before. Jordan Metzl, M.D., a sports medicine physician at New York City's Hospital for Special Surgery, gets how hard it is to wake up to work out. "It's a tough habit to get into," he says. That said: "I'm a huge believer in morning workouts because it starts your metabolic furnace and ensures you'll actually get that workout in," says Metzl (who's run 31 marathons and completed 11 Ironman triathlons). So what's the solution? "Employing trickster strategies now can develop sustainable morning workout habits," he says. Basically, you've got to get clever and fake it until you make it. Here's how: Dress for Success—the Night Before Why waste time getting dressed in the morning if you don't have to? "If I'm going to get up to work out, I want to make sure that time is going to actually exercising," says Jen Ator, Women's Health's fitness director. She nixes up to 20 minutes off her morning routine by wearing her workout clothes to bed. Whether you tack that extra time onto your sweat session or your REM cycle, it's going to pay off majorly—and give you one less reason to pull the covers over your head. Update Your Buddy System We all know that nabbing a workout buddy keeps you accountable. Jenn Seracuse, director of FLEX Pilates at FLEX Studios NYC, totally agrees—but suggests that you take that tried-and-true accountability rule one step further: "Ask your trainer, instructor, or workout buddy to tweet at you," says Seracuse, who loves to tweet things like, "See your beautiful, sweaty face at 6 a.m.!" to her clients. Use this trick and you'll be held to your workout by the whole Internet. And you know you can't let down the Internet. Stash Mints in Your Nightstand Brett Hoebel, founder of Hoebel Fitness and trainer on NBC’s "Biggest Loser" season 11, suggests grabbing a mint the second your alarm goes off. The sugar in the mint will excite and your brain, and the mint itself will liven up your tongue’s taste buds and nerve endings, says Hoebel. “You can completely fool your body into thinking food is coming,” he says. The gist: You’ll get rid of morning breath and wake up your mind and body for a sweat session. Tell Your Alarm You Need Some Space It's not your alarm, it's you. And distance makes the heart grow fonder, right? "Turn up the volume and put (your alarm) way across the room," says Metzl. That way you'll have to get out of bed to turn it off. "It's not a new idea, but it's really helpful," he says. And when it comes to this trick, Ator is an expert. "Successfully getting up early in the morning to work out is all about removing as many obstacles and excuses as possible," she says. So at night, she sets her alarm and then puts her running shoes close to the door with her phone resting across the laces. "Even if I'm exhausted and dragging my feet, it always gets me out of the door," says Ator. Another genius move: "Setting your alarm to an unpleasant ring works wonders,” says Hoebel. “My friends always comment that I have the most obnoxious alarm, but it works." Give Yourself a Pep Talk Seracuse actually recommends hitting your old friend, snooze—but instead of then drifting back to sleep, she says to lay still with your eyes closed and your mind in mental preparation mode. Mallory Weggemann, a Paralympic Gold Medalist and world record-holding swimmer, employs the same trick: "I give myself a five- to 10-minute pep talk," she says, "like, 'OK, you can do this,' or, 'Get you butt out of bed.' It depends on my mood!" Essentially, you have to convince yourself that you're pumped for your workout—even if you're 100 percent lying.

6 Genius Ways to Motivate Your Morning Workout

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Working out in the morning: it can be a struggle. We know it’s good for us, but in the heat of summer, isn’t it better for our health to lie in bed, basking in the AC, for just a few more minutes? Yeah, our workout motivation can be sorely lacking when it’s ten thousand degrees outside at 6am—but luckily there are ways to trick yourself into exercising first thing in the morning. Here are our very best tips for stepping up your morning motivation. 1. Still Hit the Snooze Button. Something about the feeling of being in control and allowing myself the option to lay in bed (even for only five extra minutes) does wonders for our lazy, heat-addled brains. For days you’re working out in the morning, trick yourself into getting up early. For a 7 a.m. run or yoga class, set your alarm for 6:40. That way, you can snooze once and be up at 6:50—just enough time to be out the door. 2. Lay Out Your Clothes Ahead of Time. Maximize your time spent hiding under your covers as long as possible by laying out your clothes, sneakers, keys, headphones—anything you’ll need that morning to work out—laid out on a chair next to your bed. That way, you can just grab them and go. For more stubborn types, sleep in your workout clothes a few times to get yourself acquainted with the idea. Just think how guilty you’ll feel taking off your clean sports bra and gym shorts if you skip your workout. 3. Drink Up! A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that working out on an empty stomach actually burns 20% more fat. However, don’t skip the water. Drinking just one glass energizes and refreshes the body. Leave a glass of water by your bed so that you can grab it right when your alarm goes off. 4. Keep it Short. A workout as short as 15 minutes is enough to boost your energy and metabolism for the rest of the day. Commit to a short workout to get yourself out of bed and moving. Who knows—maybe you’ll be so motivated by 15 minutes of pilates that you’ll want to do 45! 5. Keep it Local. If your gym is too far to make a morning workout practical, keep it local with a run around the neighborhood—because really, who wants two commutes? Or even simpler: stream a yoga video or 20-minute abs workout on your laptop, and you can feel the burn in the comfort (and air conditioned coolness) of your living room. 6. Treat Yourself! If you commit to a routine that takes up more time than you realistically have, you’re less likely you’ll actually stick with it. Instead, plan for morning workouts two to three times a week. Then treat yourself on days off with a few extra snoozes and a second cup of coffee. Voila!

7 Effective Lower Abs Workout For Women

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Are you planning to flaunt that flat tummy before your hit the beach this summer? Do you want to shed those pregnancy pounds and get back your slim waist? A sedentary life and the temptation of junk food makes it difficult to get that dream figure. So, if turning fab from flab is high on your to-do list this year, this post will help you out! Here we talk about lower ab crunches that can work wonders to tone your tummy. Would you like to know the top Lower Abs Workouts for women? Go ahead with your read! 1. Warming Up Abs: You need to lie on your back, bend your knees and place your feet on the floor. Breathe in and tuck the chin towards the chest. Then breathe out and curl the head, shoulder and neck off the surface. Lift your arms and then reach the feet. Now revert to the starting pose. Repeat it eight times. 2. Rolling Up: Lie down on your back. Now, stretch your arms and extend your legs to resemble a straight line. Breathe in and bring both arms overhead. Curl the upper body off the floor. Breathe out when the body is halfway up and carry on rolling forward to touch the toes. Then inhale and revert to the starting position. Repeat it ten times. 3. Leg Drop: Raise the legs upwards and inhale to stiffen the abs. Then breathe out and lower the legs gradually. When the legs are about to touch the floor, you should pause and inhale. Again exhale and raise the legs to the earlier position. You can repeat it ten times. 4. Scissor Move: This move is one of the best exercises for lower abs. Lift both the legs upwards and keep them perpendicular to the floor. Lower the left leg until it is a few inches above floor level. Lift your head and shoulders off the floor and hold back part of right leg. Then pull it slowly towards you. Switch legs and repeat the steps. Do it ten times. 5. Torso Twist: Sit in a cross-legged position, stretch your arms forward and inhale. With hips in a square position and stiff abs exhale and rotate the upper body to your right. Revert to the starting position and repeat the pose on your left side. 6. Hanging Leg Raise: You will need a pull-up bar to perform this lower abs exercise. While hanging from the bar, keep hands shoulder-width apart. Flex your buttocks. Keep your back straight. Then slowly raise the legs until they become parallel to the floor. Lower the legs slowly. Repeat it five to six times. 7. Bicycle Crunch: The exercise helps tone the abdomen. While sitting on the floor, straighten the legs in front and gradually lift the feet off the floor. As you gain balance, place your hands behind the ears. Now move one leg towards the chest by bending it at the knee. At the same time, twist the lower torso so that the elbow touches the moving knee. Do the same with the opposite limbs. The movement simulates the movement of pedaling a cycle. Repeat the exercise a few times.

It could truly be the start of a life-changing shift. Some tips to enhance your results: 1. Drink water – It’s a good idea to have water available and to drink several glasses throughout the day, equaling about 2.5 liters. You know you’re hydrated when your urine is clear or nearly clear. 2. Sodas – Give up sodas, even diet varieties, as they contain either loads of sugar or artificial sweeteners. Join in for the 30 Day No Soda Challenge. 3. Avoid junk food and fast food. Instead, cook at home and discover how easy it is to transition from a diet filled with processes foods to a clean eating plan. Go here for endless clean eating recipes. 4. Eat more fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, lean protein, and low-fat dairy; and avoid overly processed foods that are packed with sodium and refined sugar. 5. Eat smaller portions, about the size of your fist. We recommend eating three small meals and two to three clean snacks each day. Also, using smaller plates can help to keep your portions in check. To make this part of the challenge even easier, join the Skinny Plate Club. 6. Read labels and look at the ingredient list. If the product contains refined sugar, enriched white flour and is high in sodium, it’s a food best left on the shelf. If you can’t pronounce each of the ingredients or know what they are, you probably shouldn’t be buying it. Reading the ingredient label is a must if your goal is to know exactly what goes into your body. These six tips will help you to eat clean.

600 REPS YOUR BUTT CAN’T RESIST {RESISTANCE BAND WORKOUT}

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">If you’re looking for an awesome butt workout that will leave you feeling satisfied (and a little sore) then you’ve come to the right place. Today I’m sharing with you a workout that I’ve previously done – and by that, I mean bright & early Monday morning, and it was an awesome glute workout – and by awesome, I mean AWESOME. This workout totally targets your three glute muscles. Yes, there are three muscles in each of those butt cheeks and when you’re exercising your butt you really want to hit all three. Most exercises targets the gluteus maximus, but not this workout – ohh no, this workout gets each and every glute muscle moving and grooving. You’ve got the front squats which targets the gluteus maximus. The plie squats targeting the gluteus minimus. The side steps which targets the gluteus medius. Each of these exercises also use the other glute muscles as synergists so you can never go wrong with this workout! Now that I’ve got you convinced, Ready, Set, Go! WHAT YOU’LL NEED + Resistance Band + Exercise mat THE WORKOUT 50 Front Squats 50 Plie Squats 50 Glute Extensions 50 Squat Side Steps    x3 sets <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0mzXnHWgojXey3b1SBWjtK3BWrIrJfjwUNEYhQLJd91vcAMN8GIkOqfqlTe4m_B3n49DWdJPgJGftNZdwIJW1V6EPYbREQOb1OrRSV8YrnKrWw_nFram1HAIpj41kmkiPrFE59SMNP5p/s1600/600+REPS+YOUR+BUTT+CAN%25E2%2580%2599T+RESIST+%257BRESISTANCE+BAND+WORKOUT%257D.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="600 REPS YOUR BUTT CAN’T RESIST {RESISTANCE BAND WORKOUT}" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0mzXnHWgojXey3b1SBWjtK3BWrIrJfjwUNEYhQLJd91vcAMN8GIkOqfqlTe4m_B3n49DWdJPgJGftNZdwIJW1V6EPYbREQOb1OrRSV8YrnKrWw_nFram1HAIpj41kmkiPrFE59SMNP5p/s1600/600+REPS+YOUR+BUTT+CAN%25E2%2580%2599T+RESIST+%257BRESISTANCE+BAND+WORKOUT%257D.png" title="600 REPS YOUR BUTT CAN’T RESIST {RESISTANCE BAND WORKOUT}" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Image via :<a href="http://kamafitness.ca/2014/08/13/600-reps-your-butt-cant-resist-resistance-band-workout/" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: medium; text-align: left;" target="_blank">kamafitness.ca</a></td></tr></tbody></table> THE EXERCISES EXPLAINED: FRONT SQUATS: Begin standing with feet shoulder width apart. Hold each handle of the resistance band in each hand. Place the middle of the band underneath both feet. Hold your palms together directly in front of your chest. Keep them in this position. Now, bend your knees, push your hips back and lower your body into a low squat. 90 degree bend please. Push your hips back up. This completes one rep. Complete a total of 50 reps. PLIE SQUATS: Begin standing with feet wider than shoulder width apart. Point your toes away from your body and place the resistance band under each foot. Hold a handle in each hand and keep the resistance band in front of your hips, allowing it to lower as you bend. Bend your knees, push your hips back and keep a flat back. Squeeze your abs as you lower your body and really squeeze your glutes as you push yourself back up. This is one rep. Complete a total of 50 reps. GLUTE EXTENSIONS: Stand on one foot and place the resistance band around your opposite foot. Bend your upper body forwards and hold your foot with the resistance band behind you. Keep your knee bent and kick your leg directly out behind you, all while keeping a flat back and abs tight. Make each rep at a nice controlled, slow pace. This exercise can really throw you off balance so be sure to use those abs! Squeeeeeze your glute as you kick your leg back and pull your knee back into starting position using your abdominals. This is one rep. Complete all 50 reps on one foot before moving to the opposite side. SQUAT SIDE STEPS: Begin standing, shoulder width apart, with the middle of the resistance band under both feet. Hold a handle in each hand and keep your hands up by your side with your elbows bent. Now, take a step out to the right, moving right foot, then left foot then squat that ass down to a 90 degree. This is one rep. Then take a step back to the left, left foot, right foot and again squat that ass and repeat.    *Be sure to keep enough resistance between your feet, otherwise this will not be doing anything for your muscles – it is too easy to slack on this exercise.
