Making morning exercise part of your daily routine isn’t easy at first.

You will have to be discipline­d to wake up early. But it just takes a little time and practice to make it a habit.

Here’s seven tips to help you get started.

Set your alarm clock and then move it away from your arms reach, so that you have to get up out of bed to turn it off.

As soon as the alarm goes off, jump up turn it off, and get in the shower.

Quickly shower and clean your teeth. This will wake you up straight away.

Then get dressed with the workout clothes that should be laid out from the night before.

It’s not easy getting out of bed if you know you have to go through a 60 to 90-minute workout.

Instead, complete a 20 to 30-minute HIIT style workout to get it done and out of the way quicker.

Psychologi­cally it makes getting up easier, plus HIIT style workouts are going to burn calories all day!

Drink more water and eat a healthy breakfast as soon as possible after your workout.

This part is even easier if you prepare your breakfast the night before too.

Overnight oats are my favourite; tasty, nutritious and saves me time on a morning.
