Early morning workouts are a lot like drinking Maalox. You might not like it when you’re drinking it, but you feel like a million bucks once it’s settled down in your body. That probably was not the best analogy, but it’s all I could come up with when I was in downward dog at 6:00 a.m. This morning I got up at 5:15 to get to my 6 a.m. Power Vinyasa Flow at Yoga on 6th (Denver insider tip: if you’re shopping around for a place to practice, YO6th gives you two weeks of unlimited yoga for $25). Even though I was there and practicing, I kept thinking “I wish I could be one of those people who gets up early and works out.” Why would I be thinking that if I was actually having a good practice? Probably because I feel like a fraud. I’m not one of those people who actually enjoys getting up that early to practice. Maybe that will change. I have 360 days left to figure it out!
If you figure out how to get up early to work out, whatever that trick is, you let me know ASAP!!! I’m proud of you for doing this!
