We all know the story, we see an inspirational new training program or fitness tips article and we promise ourselves that we are going to work out every Morning before work.

The first morning starts out really well; you jump up, drink your coffee, and launch into your routine. Then you forget your routine (or try to do way too much), get bored and start to panic about how late it’s getting. So you cut the Workout short, get to work late, and feel bad all day because your boss hates you now and you didn’t even get a proper workout in.
