It keeps you consistent. I used to workout in the evenings after work and I noticed I wasn't very consistent with my nutrition, sleep and workouts. A month ago I shifted to morning workouts and I've been super consistent ever since. There's nothing like waking up and going through a very tough strength routine. Its so physically and mentally challenging that everything a normal work day throws at you seems easy in comparison after its over. Also, I've been super consistent with nutrition ever since I began morning workouts. Since I've already done the hard work I just cannot let myself eat unhealthy after my workout for the rest of the day as it just seems like too much of a waste after the hard work Ive already put in. Im now free in the evenings to go play football or hang out with friends too and I hold myself accountable on these occasions ie not drinking much/eating healthy etc. Also , by the end of all of this I'm exhausted so I end up sleeping early which gets me 7.30 to 8 hours of sleep and allows me to wake up early for my workout the next day and the cycle continues. Earlier, I would wake up and go to work and by the end of the day I'd have made up so many excuses to not workout(social occasions, family, tiredness) that working out became a chore and I'd sometimes skip it altogether and go out with my friends and stay up late which led to the bad cycle repeating the next day. Also, my nutrition wasn't as great as it should have been since I'd not put in the hard work yet(I swear so much of this fitness battle is just in your head). Tl;Dr Sure it's a bit annoying waking up early to work out.. but man has it kept me consistent with my workouts, nutrition and sleep.
