Recipe for an energy packed day

Ok, so a lot of people wonder, how am I going to get through today, I normally feel sooo tired and have to hit snooze three or four times before I can wake up. There's your problem right there, the snooze button. Kill it. It should be illegal to hit snooze, but I know the temptation is there.

So in order to combat the snooze button and the sleep inertia it causes do this:

1. Make sure the alarm is out of arms reach.
2. Make sure that your room will be warm when you wake.
3. Make sure that you have slept around 6-7 hours.

Now when the alarm does ring, your will power needs to kick in right away. So, as soon as you hear it, sit up straight. Dont just lie there. That boost of energy needed to get you up will kick your body awake quicker than if someone told you Beth Ditto (no, I aint gonna link to the pictures as it will make you wish I hadn't) was gonna jump on you.

Now that you're awake...go put the shower on, while the water warms up you have two choices...get in to the cold shower (not recommended for those with a weak heart or bald head) or get some pressups done. You might be thinking that doing pressups only exercises your arms. It only does that if you are doing them wrong; a proper pressup will exercise both your arms, your core and your glutes. To keep your body straight as a plank you will have to use ALL your muscles. Can't get much better than that at 6.30am. Why? Well first of all, if you get sweaty it wont matter because you are going to have a shower, but in reality, your body will think "WTF?!?!!!" and your heart will start pumping oxygen round your body that bit quicker.

Oxygen is required to make you feel energetic. The hours you spent sleeping your body was taking on minimal oxygen, thats whats helped keep you asleep. The sudden rush of oxygen will wake you up.

You've done your 20 press ups...get in the shower and then have a good day.
