THESE MORNING WORKOUTS THO // 3 MONTH HEALTH JOURNAL | Amanda Zampelli

JUNE 15, 2020 - I have been waking up early every morning and walking to my gym’s 6am outdoor workout. It has been the absolute best for many reasons:

  • I’m my best self in the morning, so I have the right attitude and energy for the workout

  • I walk a mile just by showing up (it’s .5 miles away from my apartment)

  • At 6am, the class is not crowded, the streets are not congested

  • I get it all done before Tom wakes up, so it doesn’t impede on my time with him

  • If I do nothing else all day, I know I’ve done that

  • It makes me feel productive & accomplished all before 7am

  • It’s not too hot at 6am

  • It still leaves me enough time to get home, shower, and prep the virtual classroom for the day

If teaching remotely has been good for one thing, it’s been for allowing me the space to work these early morning workouts into my schedule.

Two more work weeks, then SUMMER! Being home and off for the next two months, I plan to continue my Monday to Friday early morning workouts.

…and if Tom and I happen to take a neighborhood stroll or go to the park for a run, then it’ll count as extra, because mama already did her time when everybody was sleeping. It’s glorious, and I love it.
