I'm finally over my cold ENOUGH to start working out again. Woohoo! Today was my new strength routine for my 2010 competition training. I also kicked the day off with some fasted cardio. I love getting the day started with cardio. Just clears the mind and the sinuses.
Before I share the routine, I want to say if you can workout in the morning you should. Your body will function better through the day, you are likely to eat better, and you get it out of the way. On the PNP site we have a whole team of girls called AM Exercisers and they have loads of good tips for making it out of bed and to the gym or living room.
In the end, though, the key is to get moving whenever that may be. You can also use my Treadmill Bootcamp for motivation or our famous Work Your Butt Off Book that has tons of cardio routines and bootcamp workouts.
Morning Wake Up Call
