However, there won\u2019t be much to stop you getting there at seven o&#8217;clock in the morning.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> A better mood<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Physical exercise helps to reduce anxiety, and if you do it in the morning, that calm feeling will stay with you all day long at work. Physical activity will put you in a better mood by releasing endorphins, increasing a feeling of wellbeing and boosting mental activity for the next 10 hours.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> You<\/strong>\u2019<strong>ll have more energy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Exercise immediately activates the body and, although you may feel a little tired in the beginning, it will give you a pleasant, energised feeling.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> It sets your biological alarm clock<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you exercise at the same time every day your circadian rhythm (sleep and wakefulness) will become regular. Before your alarm clock rings, your body will already be ready for the alarm, making the start of the day less traumatic.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> You<\/strong>\u2019<strong>ll sleep better<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Working up a sweat, increasing your heart rate and getting tired will help you to fall asleep more easily. If you exercise regularly and constantly every morning, you\u2019ll sleep better and avoid insomnia. If, on the other hand, you exercise at night, this could be counterproductive because it will make you feel too active.<\/p>\n<p>If you agree that early morning sport but need some extra incentive to get you out of the bed bright and early, lay out your sports gear, clothes, heart monitor and trainers ready before you go to bed and you won&#8217;t feel so lethargic when the alarm goes off.<\/p>\n<pre>Achieving your goal of getting up early for your own benefit will make you feel good. It\u2019ll help you to start the day on the right foot, with the confidence you need to face any problems that may come your way.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exercising first thing in the morning will put you in a good mood and fills you with energy for the day ahead \u00a0Everyone knows that exercise is good for the health.
