I&#8217;m\u00a0Abe Stone, and this is Coaching Really Works.<\/p>\n<p>I remember years ago feeling\u00a0very tired in the middle of every day. I don&#8217;t know if that happens to you, you eat lunch and you&#8217;ve got to get back to work, you got to take care of something and you just feel your body dragging, your mind is slowing down, you go for a cup of coffee and you find some way\u00a0to keep yourself going so you can make it through to the end of the day.<\/p>\n<h3>What You Might Be Able to Expect<\/h3>\n<p>Something happened to me. I started doing exercises, I started working out. At the time I started doing resistance training. My wife at that time had bought me some dumbbells. I started to try them out and I wanted to get some muscles but I realized the amazing effect it had on my days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I no longer have that feeling of being tired or just barely able to finish the day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have anything against napping, I know a lot of people like\u00a0to take a nap or a power nap in the middle of the day. For those of you who it works, go for it? For me it never really worked, I always felt sort of groggy for the rest of the day but this, exercise, the idea of doing exercise changed the way my days went.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I started to feel more energized.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another recent benefit that I noticed is, (<a title=\"Experiencing Intention and a Six-pack to Boot\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/experiencing-intention-and-a-six-pack-to-boot\/\">You probably noticed some time back I posted some post mentioning I was working on losing my belly fat<\/a>)\u00a0the other day I met someone who\u00a0hadn&#8217;t seen me in a while, they gave me a hug and said\u00a0&#8220;Wow! You&#8217;ve really lost your belly,&#8221; and I am still working on it but that is one result.<\/p>\n<p>That result has come because recently,\u00a0it has been a few months, I switched my exercise routine from every other day for one\u00a0an hour, to every day for thirty minutes. Not only do I do it every day for thirty minutes, I do it every morning, first thing as <a title=\"6 Morning Hacks You May Want To Know About\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/6-morning-hacks-you-may-want-to-know-about\/\">part of my morning routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it won&#8217;t happen right as I get up. Sometimes\u00a0I will spend a bit more time\u00a0reading, or journaling, or doing some of the other things I&#8217;ve\u00a0been putting in <a title=\"6 Morning Hacks You May Want To Know About\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/6-morning-hacks-you-may-want-to-know-about\/\">this video series<\/a>\u00a0but really getting it in as early as possible. I prefer it to be done before my work starts, that is a huge key for me.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I would like to suggest that you exercise, first thing in the morning part of <a title=\"6 Morning Hacks You May Want To Know About\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/6-morning-hacks-you-may-want-to-know-about\/\">your daily routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why exactly?<\/h3>\n<p>Here is why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get your heart rate up<\/strong>. Get your heart\u00a0going.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get the blood flowing<\/strong> through all the parts of your body that need it. Get everything working and functioning well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get lots of oxygen to your lungs<\/strong>, to your blood stream and best of all,\u00a0<strong>oxygen to your brain<\/strong>, so you can get more vitality, more energy. (<em>Read <a title=\"get it on Amazon.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00AKKS278\/?tag=coachingreall-20\" target=\"_blank\">Miracle Morning<\/a><\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Try Underachieving (What?)<\/h3>\n<p>And now, I have two tips for making exercise part of your morning routine and turning your days around and infusing them with more\u00a0vitality.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Even if you like exercising at different times of the day, going for runs, or doing workouts with friends, <strong>take at least 10-20 minutes first thing in the\u00a0morning<\/strong> maybe for jumping jacks or a short jog. Whatever it takes, whatever will work for you.\u00a0Keep it small, keep it simple and just do it.<\/li>\n<li>Building on that\u00a0\u00a0idea of keeping it small. A lot of people try get into something like exercise or some new\u00a0goal with a lot of ambition. They want to get an hour,\u00a0use\u00a0a certain amount\u00a0of weights, or they want to run so far, but I find that\u00a0very often that goes against the idea of what you are trying to do. Some people cut themselves short because it becomes\u00a0very difficult, they get exhausted, they get worn out, and <a title=\"Persist Just Beyond the Point You\u2019d Have Given Up\" href=\"https:\/\/coachingreallyworks.com\/blog\/persist-just-beyond-the-point-youd-have-given-up\/\">then they stop, they quit<\/a>. \u00a0I would suggest this.. \u00a0<strong>..try underachieving!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>I may not get very popular for saying this,<\/strong> but if you can set a small goal, do something small everyday, you will not be overachieving, you will be underachieving, but you will have a win. Then you&#8217;ll have another win. And everyday with those little wins, you will find that it will be easier for you\u00a0to continue get the ball rolling and\u00a0make exercise part of of infusing your day with the energy and vitality you need.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Here is a quote for today&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body.
