Prepare clothes

Lay out your walking clothes and shoes the night before. This way, even if you wake up feeling a little groggy, you won’t have to think about what to wear and dig around. Removing any potential excuses or things to think about will make you more likely to get up and go for a walk rather than sleep in.

Go to bed early

Go to bed early the night before and set an alarm. Getting enough sleep is important for morning walkers. You will feel more energized, focused, and wake up easier if you have had enough sleep.

If you're used to staying up late or have trouble going to bed early, set an alarm to remind you to go to bed. Ideally, you should go to bed 30 minutes earlier to prepare for a perfect 30-minute morning walk, according to Pacer Walking.

Plan your walking route

Knowing where you’re going gives you peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying the fresh air and the cardiovascular benefits you’ll get. If your goal is to go for a 15-minute morning walk, create a few routes that you can easily complete in that time so you don’t have to worry about which direction to go.

Prepare a snack

Plan a light, healthy breakfast before bed. Prepare it in advance or choose an easy-to-grab snack like a banana or granola bar. Avoid eating a large breakfast before your walk. Consider having a quick snack before your walk, according to Pacer Walking.

Ideally take a 30 minute morning walk.

Health organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the UK National Health Service (NHS) recommend walking for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week. But if you can’t reach that, any amount of walking is good for your health.

Of course, to reap the maximum benefits of walking, in addition to the above tips, don't forget to drink enough water and bring water if needed, warm up first and don't drink coffee before walking.
