Ok so recently I showed you how a few simple techniques can help jump-start your day. But what about those dull and rainy days where there is a lack of sunshine?
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.
Graphic metaphor? Yes.. Effective metaphor? Absolutely.
Some people do this naturally and others even make a weird noise… you know who you are. But who cares… it’s in the morning, no ones watching you.
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.
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.
For those who didn’t, I shall mention it here:
10 mins of low intensity jogging/biking. (should be able to converse)
10 mins of medium intensity jogging/biking (should have shortness of breath)
10 mins of high intensity running/biking (should be huffing and puffin)
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%!!!
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.
Now if you can… 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!
Happy mornings…
FJ
