But what about those dull and rainy days where there is a lack of sunshine? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Well, the FIRST thing you should do right after you open your eyes is STRETCHHH. Pretend that you are in the movie SAW and your limbs are being stretched out in every direction. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Graphic metaphor? Yes.. Effective metaphor? Absolutely. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Some people do this naturally and others even make a weird noise&#8230; you know who you are. But who cares&#8230; it’s in the morning, no ones watching you. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Next thing you want to do is drink a full glass of water. Your body has gone about 8 hours without any water, you need to replenish this lack of fluid intake. By now you should be feeling pretty good, but here comes the triple whammy. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Get on a bike, treadmill or go outside and start some interval cardio. For those who downloaded my FREE eBook this cardio session can be found in the fat burner program. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>For those who didn’t, I shall mention it here:</span></p><p>10 mins of low intensity jogging/biking. (should be able to converse)</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>10 mins of medium intensity jogging/biking (should have shortness of breath)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>10 mins of high intensity running/biking (should be huffing and puffin) </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Doing this 10-10-10 will gradually increase your heart rate and will burn the most ideal amount of fat. In fact, you don’t need any hours of cardio to burn fat. Just following the my interval sessions for 30 minutes right after you wake up will increase your fat burning rate by 300%!!! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>And here’s another upside. Once you finish this cardio session, your metabolic rate is in over drive for the next 3-4 hours, which means you will feel awake and energized. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Now if you can&#8230; combine the techniques from this post and the techniques from part 1 and you will almost never have a bad start to your day ever again! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Happy mornings&#8230; </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>FJ</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com/thebook.html">FlawlessFitnessBook</a></p><p style='text-align:left'>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</br><i>&copy; 2008 &#8211; 2012, By <i><b>FitJerk</b></i>. <i>FitJerk.com is a division of <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessmedia.com" target="_blank">Flawless Fitness Media</a> &#8211; All Rights Reserved &#8211; No part of this post is to be republished without author consent under any forms of media (including print, internet, video or audio transcription).

Your heart rate is slowed down, your temperature is slightly different and your body releases a whole bunch of chemicals that help you relax. For the sake of simplicity, let’s call these “vampire chemicals” because their job is to induce sleep! </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>Now when that alarm goes off and you have to suddenly wake up, these ‘vampire chemicals’ are still in abundance throughout your body, it takes time for them to subdue. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>Funny enough, there is one simple way to completely deplete your body of these chemicals, and that is Vitamin D. What is the easiest, most abundant and inexpensive source of vitamin D? </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>You guessed it&#8230; SUNLIGHT! </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>As soon as you wake up, open up that window and look outside into the world and let all of that light hit your skin and eyes. OBVIOUSLY you should never look at the sun DIRECTLY&#8230; but just look outside for about 30 seconds to a minute. Let your body soak up all the sun rays and then notice how you feel. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>In just 60 seconds you will feel rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. It still blows me away every time I do this&#8230; </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>There is a very good reason were supposed to sleep at NIGHT and wake up during the DAY. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>On the contrary, have you ever noticed how you feel tired and cranky when you wake up to a dull and rainy day? </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>That’s because there is no sunlight, which means those “vampire chemicals” stay in your body a lot longer than they should. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>So what can you do on rainy days? Take vitamin D pills? </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>That’s a possibility, but that costs money&#8230; tomorrow I will reveal another inexpensive technique that you can use to jump start your day! </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>Stay tuned&#8230; I will talk to you tomorrow. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>- FJ<br /> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com/thebook.html" target="_blank">FlawlessFitnessBook</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p><p style='text-align:left'>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</br><i>&copy; 2008 &#8211; 2012, By <i><b>FitJerk</b></i>. <i>FitJerk.com is a division of <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessmedia.com" target="_blank">Flawless Fitness Media</a> &#8211; All Rights Reserved &#8211; No part of this post is to be republished without author consent under any forms of media (including print, internet, video or audio transcription).
