In the early morning hours, a sweat-inducing workout may sound unappealing. Your first thought is probably to hit the snooze button, pull the covers over your head and just forget about your exercise plans. I know the reasoning. You might be thinking, “It’s too early. I’ll hit the gym later.” But, don’t let such thoughts talk you into putting off something that’s so good for you! 
A morning workout is better than 15 more minutes of shut-eye. Your metabolism slows down at night when you’re sleeping, and more than likely continues to be sluggish come morning. Your metabolism will speed up as the day wears on, but a morning workout... whether aerobic or strength training...will give your metabolism a jump-start. Get that boost early in the day, and you’ll be maximizing the number of hours your metabolism runs on high. Eating a healthful breakfast is also critical, so don’t forget to make time for whole grains, protein and fruit. I promise you’ll feel so good afterward that you won’t miss those extra few minutes of sleep.
In some cases and due to early schedules you may not be able to train in the early morning. Try to work in a few morning workouts if time permits or maybe can switch things around to make it happen. Of course training anytime is great and if you can only do it a specific time of the day? Then you're doing a great job! The main thing here is to just do it! Whether you do your workout early morning, lunch time or later in the day...You protect your training time like it's "Gold" Because it is your gold and make it the best part or your day! Make it happen!!!
