[quote=Anonymous]I am not a morning person but had success with a 6am bootcamp. At first the accountability/fact that I knew it was expensive helped. Doing a killer workout first thing ensured that I got enough sleep, for that first month I was dog-tired by 9. (when I started going less often and got more in shape I could stay up til 10 or so).

Partners adapt. They learn if they want sex they have to go to bed earlier. Mine admired my newfound willpower (and, eventually, body) and was supportive after initial skepticism. I don't do morning workouts anymore for a variety of reasons, but my current partner and I handle evening tiredness and mismatch by having sex in the morning. The wood is best then anyway :)

The key to any new habit is to anchor it to existing patterns.  I didn't sleep in my workout clothes but I did lay them out in the bathroom. Then as I sat there half-asleep after peeing, it was easy to pull them on, and then voila, when I stood up I was mentally halfway to my workout already, instead of halfway back to bed.  I got myself to the bathroom by moving the alarm in there so I'd be there when I hit snooze.[/quote]
