DAY 1. 14/01/2013 - Hi ProKick members and web surfers - our latest early morning fitness ‘Boot Camp’ for enthusiastic wannabe fighters and hard-core fitness fanatics started TODAY JAN 14th 2013. And it has enthused us to write a little that may help others find and feel the benefits of rising early to start some early morning sports activities. 

First of all well done to our ProKick Members young and old, first-timers to experienced campers. The credit belongs to you for battling to elements to attend our early morning Boot Camp.

Why Work Out in the Morning? There are plenty of benefits to physical activity first thing in the morning.

"Early morning workouts revs up your metabolism, jump start your energy level and accelerate your ability to burn up calories," said an exercise physiologist.

"Early morning workouts give you a chance to put the world on hold for an hour or so," said Murray. "Exercise also helps the endorphins flow, and when you finish you are will be relaxed, in good and full of energy for the day ahead."

Other Sports experts also agree the benefits of early morning exercise far outweigh the minuses you may face.

"In our cardiac rehabilitation programs, experts don't see any increased risk from morning exercise," reported Gordon Blackburn, program director of cardiac rehabilitation. "Just be sure if you have heart or any other problems that you first talk over any early morning exercise plans with your doctor."


Billy Murray sees to it that the doors of the ProKick Gym open before 5:40 a.m. and supervises the members and wannabe fighters to start at 6 am sharp.

"More and more people are finding the benefit of exercising before starting work and that’s no bad thing - they can’t all be wrong. I’ve been early morning training off and on for over 35 years now. It's a great way to start your day off and before you head into work. I really think the psychological and physiological benefits outweigh the minuses, don't knock it untill you give it a real go at least a full week." Said Billy Murray a former world kickboxing champion.
