I've been getting up at 5:30 for a week or so now. I do some jump rope, 8MA and maybe some pull ups or push ups. In the evening I'll do another 15-20 mins of jump rope and then the exercises. It hasn't been too much of a problem but the last couple of days I've started to feel pretty tired. Then this morning I had to get up at 4:45 to fit in all the exercises before work as I can't do the routine tonight as I'm off to a wedding. Anyhow, I was rubbish. I really wasn't in the right frame of mind, my exercises were sloppy and I just couldn't motivate myself to get into any kind of rhythm. The legs were heavy and I had a really negative 'can't be arsed attitude'.
So, I’ve made some mental notes.
- Get more sleep. I need to start going to bed earlier
- Approach every work out in the right frame of mind. If I'm not 'feeling it', then take a moment, remind myself why I'm doing this and focus on completing a really good routine.
- Accept that not every day will be easy
On a more positive note, I've started to do my evening jump rope sessions in an empty squash court at the gym and it's brilliant. Lots of room to move around and try out moves and combos. I'm really enjoying it and don't even notice the time - in my head I think I'm the jump rope Kevin Bacon (think the abandoned warehouse scene in footloose) hahahaha, but more realisticly; Barney the dinosaur ineptly bumbling around a squash court.
