Boost your energy in the morning

You have probably read that breakfast, as part of your morning routine, is extremely important to losing weight. I am not discrediting the preachers of this sentiment because not only am I one of them, but they are 100% correct. However, this is only a portion of the ritual you should begin. There should also be some form of exercise involved, albeit a jog, weight workout, or something simpler.


Realizing that money is tight and time is tighter, let's discuss a quick workout that doesn't cost a penny and can be knocked out in no time. Short and free, this routine will boost your morning energy level exponentially, especially if your current workout only consists of a shower.

Sound good?

Great. Let's agree that if you are not working out already, you will try this tomorrow morning. Any takers? Is anyone willing to make a small change to their morning in the interest of increased energy, a better mood, and oh, less fat?

Good. Let's go.

When you get up, right after you eat your breakfast, do this push up routine:

   1. Muster up some will, get down and pump out as many push ups as you can do.
   2. Wait 30 seconds
   3. Pump out more push ups (again as many as you can do)
   4. Wait 30 seconds
   5. Pump out more pushups (again as many as you can do and don't hold back… really push it!)

When you are done and you stand up, whatever the tired, sluggish, or "get out of my face" morning feeling you might have felt will have been replaced with an "I am the shiznit!!!" feeling.

By the way, could someone tell me what a shiznit feeling is? Sounds intriguing and I would like to feel like a shiznit.

Steve,
here's the link from the original article to the meaning of "shiznit".
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shiznit&defid=22202#22202

A friend used it before. Apparently its from the US (even though he's not), and it's slang specifically from some city or state - can't remember which one. It appears to have come from "shits". as in, "I am the shits!"

Why anyone would call themselves the shits is beyond. I can understand something like "I am da bomb!" But shits? Gaaah.

Thanks. After reading your mail and the dictionary, I will skip the shiznit feeling. I will feel like a million bucks instead.
