Even if you’re not a “morning person,” get active in the early a.m. hours anyway! The first two hours of the day are when we’re filled with the most energy and enthusiasm.

So I say make the most of this productive time. Fit as many of the tasks on your daily to-do list into these two hours as you can.

Whatever task you dread – a workout, taking out the trash, balancing your checkbook – do it first thing. Not only will you get things done, you’ll also be able to spend the rest of your day with a sense of accomplishment.

Better yet, do them all – especially your workout. A morning workout will kick-start your metabolism so you’ll burn more calories throughout the day. So try to tackle your workout – and other chores – first thing tomorrow morning!
