Get moving in the morning The best day to start the day is by moving. Doing your fitness routine; anything from 30 minutes to an hour will set you up for the day. It will increase your metabolism and most of all "it's done". It is so easy to skip the workout if you leave it until the end of the day when you are tired after a whole day at work, being home with kids etc. Any physical activity in the morning will help you gain energy for the rest of the day. Remember to be consistent -- that is the key to success.
