Early to bed, early to rise........

If at all possible, getting your workout in before going to the office is a great idea. It will ensure that you have a great day. Your body releases hormones while you workout that cause you to feel good. This good feeling will transfer over to the rest of your day. Knowing that you have gotten your workout out of the way for the day allows for you to plan for other things. Getting in shape involves efficiency. Use your time wisely. Also, the gyms are not as crowded in the morning as they are in the evening. You will be able to get in and get out of the gym very smoothly.
You will notice how much better your day goes and much better you feel after a morning workout. Afterwards, eat a healthy breakfast and be on your way.
For those that do not have time to make breakfast, you can try making a protein shake that could hold you over to lunch time. Here is my recipe for a protein shake:

• Two scoops of Twin Lab No Whey vanilla protein powder
• 12 oz. of your favorite 100% juice
• 1 banana
• 4 cubes of Dole pineapple(canned)

Place the ingredients in a blender and blend for one minute, or until fruit is in little pieces. Then enjoy. This is a great source of protein and it also has vitamins and minerals that your body needs after a workout. Of course you can substitute your favorite fruits into this recipe.
