Hard to get up in the mornings?

By -
Some of us aren't a morning person, so getting up early in the morning can be hard. 
But imagine how much more productive your day would be.
Workouts in the morning can be an amazing way to start your day!

This is you every morning after promising yourself, you'd go for a jog early in the morning, the night before? If yes then, I guess that makes the two of us. 
However, we are not gonna give up! 

It's not the working out part that is hard but the getting up part. Many of us would rather sleep in and then realising fitness cannot make it into your daily schedule. There are many people who exercising for a living, waking up at 6 a.m. on the dot and feeling great and energised for the rest of their day. If I can get up early in the morning, so can you.

Some tips to help you get up early in the morning. 

1. Put your alarm clock on a table that is on the other side of the room away from your bed. This forces you to get up and walk to the other side to turn of your alarm. Since you're already up and walking, you're half way there. 

2. Switch your room light on straight away you here your alarm. This helps you realise its the morning and you don't want to go back to sleep.

3. Prep your breakfast the night before, so you're ready to go and no time is wasted. 

4. Drink plenty of water to wake up your skin.

5. Splashing water on your face is a great way to wake up your tired self 

6. Make it a habit and your body will automatically wake up itself.

7. Think about how much better your day will be once you walk outside and watch the sunrise 

8. Have a workout buddy or a workout group, who will motivate and encourage you to get up every morning for your daily routine.

9. DO IT! No matter what. Consistency is the key.

Battle of the Salads: Soul Origin vs Sumo Salad

What usually comes to mind first when a person thinks ‘healthy eating’? Salad! Salads are a great way to eat healthy while also being able to have a delicious meal and there are so many to choose from. Most salads, even those with only a few ingredients are enough to make for a meal rich in nutrition. Just the veggies itself contain calcium, iron, potassium, vitamins and antioxidants. Not only that, the vegetables in salads are great sources of fibre, keeping your digestive system healthy. Today, I have gone out and bought a basic chicken Caesar salad from both Sumo Salad and Soul origin and I will be comparing the two so you can get the best tasting salad for the best price! Both soul origin and sumo salad use the exact same ingredients with the only differences being that sumo salad uses grilled chicken and soul origin uses poached chicken and that sumo salad has a Caesar dressing, whereas soul origin had lime mayo. Our criteria will be: price, taste, presentation and healthin...
