A Wild’n Crazy Guy & Morning Workouts

I’ve posted more times than I can recall about the benefits of managing ADD when we exercise. So much can be accomplished, we just need to get our bodies in motion. Exercise has proven to deliver many physical, emotional, mental and overall health benefits. For me, I’ve been very dedicated to ensuring I make time for my exercise routine daily, I’m living proof that it helps manage ADD. It’s pretty good for your sex drive too!!

Over the past year, life seems to have been turned up a notch regarding being a little busier. Whether it is kids, career or the many other things that happen in my life, making time to get my work out in is now something that is planned and scheduled. I’ve found myself moving many of my workouts to an early morning time and I must admit…..I’ve become accustomed to this change. Over the years I’ve always been a late morning or lunch workout kind-of-guy, not to be confused with Steve Martin’s wild’n crazy kind-of-guy. If you don’t know who Steve Martin  is, check his wild’n crazy kind-of-guy videos on YouTube.

Through being forced to juggle my schedule like  a circus performer and plan some early morning workout times, I’ve discovered I get those increased production levels of endorphins and dopamine going first thing in the morning now. Once our brains are stimulated by endorphins and dopamine, it starts to get those brain neurotransmitters firing. With that, we think clearer and naturally combat some of the challenges of ADD. That’s a pretty good way to start the day and it really allows me to carry that positivity forward into my day for maximum productivity, focus and fun!
