24 Songs That Will Motivate You to Work Out First Thing—No Matter How Early It Is

24 Songs That Will Motivate You to Work Out First Thing—No Matter How Early It Is

Allow me to say something that is probably a controversial take: Despite all of the chatter—especially from so-called wellness gurus—about mornings being magical or extra productive or intrinsically superior in some intangible way, mornings aren’t inherently higher than some other time of day. Relating to things like fitness, I’m an enormous believer that it’s best to work out at any time when it is sensible to accomplish that, whether that’s in your lunch break, after the youngsters are in bed, or at another time entirely. 

Having said all that, in case you do like mornings, you’re in good company. I personally find mornings to be the right time to squeeze in a workout. I do that since it does make me feel achieved—like I began the day positively by doing something that I enjoy. And when work/family/life goes sideways and the stress inevitably starts to pile up, I feel a bit higher knowing I had one hour to myself. 

After I’m struggling to tug my sluggish body from my cozy bed, music helps rather a lot. This week’s playlist includes various songs that can assist you to slowly rub the sleep out of your eyes and warm up your muscles for the primary seven to eight tracks. After that, the music takes a turn: You’ll find more dance-friendly beats, plus up-tempo tunes to power whatever style of workout you’ve got on tap. The playlist finishes off with some straight-up feel-good songs to assist you to transition to the remaining of your day. It’s never easy getting up so early, but in my humble opinion, it’s at all times price it. Rise and shine!
