Talk to the hands, 'cause the feet don't lie! Wearing sporty socks with an appropriate message helps me get into the right mindset at a ridiculously early time of day.
The elliptical likes to adopt a mocking tone with me, first thing in the morning. At the end of the time I plugged into it, a screen message automatically pop ups "Congratulations! Workout has ended!", like I just ran a friggin' marathon. What's next? Balloons pop out of the top, for using the damn equipment? It's so childish and annoying. I enjoy getting angry at it, and I've even given it the finger a few times: "F.U. machine. It never ends." Eases me right into bag training.
Do what you do.
