Try to start the day with a cup of green tea. Green tea wakes you up and gets you ready for your hectic day ahead. You will feel upbeat and active and at the same time your metabolism will be off to a good start,burning up those extra calories. After your hot drink,think about an early morning workout. This will help to elevate your energy levels and keep you alert all day long. But wait until your body temperature has risen and give your self time to wake up. the best time to start exercising is half an hour after you open your eyes.
