Should you do your workouts at 4:45am on super busy days?

Maybe, maybe not.

I actually do know some people who routinely wake up at the buttcrack of dawn to exercise before their workday begins - and I think that’s great! It’s also more than okay to wake up a bit later to get in extra sleep and do your workout later in the day - this doesn’t make you any less dedicated. The best time to do your exercise is whenever it works best for YOU.

Not everyone is able to get up even earlier than they already are.
Not everyone is able to realistically get to bed early enough to be able to then wake up super early without it taking a toll on their well-being.
Some people feel far better exercising later in the day.
And not doing your workout before work doesn’t always mean you’re lazy or “don’t want it badly enough”.

What I take issue with is the glorification of hustle culture that some people perpetuate and the idea that everyone can simply get up earlier to prioritize their health - when in reality, the issue is oftentimes far more complex than “find a way or find an excuse”.

Yes, let’s encourage each other to exercise regularly. AND let’s also encourage exercising when and how it works best for you, getting sufficient rest, and NOT acting like waking up earlier makes you inherently better than others.

As for me? Catch me still happily in bed at 4:45a.m. 😴
