In this video, we explore the potential benefits of waking up at 4am
to exercise. What are the benefits of early morning workouts? Fitness
motivation, productivity, discipline, habit formation and the sudden
urge to randomly say "let's go!"
Here are some of the things to consider when working out early in the morning:
The science behind why working out early in the morning can be beneficial
How to establish a 4am workout routine
Tips for making early morning workouts sustainable
Real-life stories of people who have changed their lives with 4am workouts
If you're considering starting a 4am workout routine, this video is a
must-watch. Let's go! - Розваги
One thing that's helpful for me to get my workouts in is to think of my workout as "me time!" This helps me fight off the urge to skip the workout. Mindset is 99% of the workout!
If you train for looks , but strength wise you need carbs
@@heveyweightheveyweight5399 What
You are absolutely correct about mindset being the most of the workout. I go running on a mountain during November and December in northeast Pennsylvania. And if I'm not motivated, I sometimes struggle with my runs. But when I am motivated I can run the mountain pretty easily
Me time baby
I had a 1h bike ride to work, alternativly 70minute by buss or 45min by car.
But seeing my bike rides as alone-time and as exercise helped alot
I liked how you guys mentioned you'd have to go to bed by 8pm to workout at 4am! Most fitness UA-camrs don't bring that up, all they mention is they're up by 4AM!
To workout at 4, you need to get up at 3! Which means, to bed at six thirty!
I totally agree. This is not discussed enough. Seems "uncool" to go to bed early
Yeah and you know that a bunch of those people aren't going to bed early.
That's what I love about these boys, the effort they put into their channel to make great content for us to watch. True warrios of dedication.
Thank you guys for everything.
Thanks Ryan
Let's gooo!!

Buff dudes blasting out the videos this week! It’s a good day to be a buff fan!
We've got another one on the way this weekend!
hell yeah! i was shocked to see another one drop! i'm here for it!
@@buffdudes Christmas has come early!
I've been on the 5AM workout schedule since October. I fell off the wagon back in 2021 when my first daughter was born. I started to get back into a routine in 2022. Then I fell off the wagon again earlier this year when my second daughter was born in April. I realized I needed to workout before everyone else was awake in the house so that I could still take care of myself and also be there for my family when I got home from work. So far it's been going great and it made me realize that working out consistently means I feel better than when I am not. So my peak health (mentally and physically) while not exercising can't even hit my baseline when I'm on a regular schedule. I have to start taking the kids to day care in January so I'll probably hit a few bumps adjusting to the new schedule but I'm determined to make any changes necessary to keep a consistent schedule.
Former Army. I hated morning PT. The only thing I do these days is taking a walk before breakfast. When it comes to lifting and cardio, way more productive either afternoon or evening. In a way, hitting the gym after work is a de-stresser so I can take my frustration and anger out on the weights before going home.
Afternoon and evening gang for life as well. I genuinely feel sick and awful and so weak if I try to work out before I've been awake for several hours. If I could only exercise in the morning, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do it at all.
I remember working out at 1AM in high school at my local 24 hour fitness, and coming out around 2:00-2:300AM to see some fellow classmates getting sloshed and hammered in the parking lot. Over a decade later and I can still remember how good it felt to be walking out of a great gym session versus walking into a hangover.
It’s always better to improve your own health and fitness than to destroy your body for a nights worth of regrets 🤙
It definitely helps to build a home gym if possible. It saves on the commute time for sure
I agree, this is what I did.
Due to my work schedule I usually wake up around 3am and have to be at work by 5:30am. The start of that early routine was tough to get into but after doing it for more than a year, it just feels off when I don't work out. My stress levels during the day are minimal and the early morning work out primes me for the rest of the day going forward.
Loving all the new content. We really appreciate all the work you guys put in to help us stay buff
I try around 6:30 just to catch a workout before the kids wake up .. night is out of the question with kids lol
I just started doing this about 2 weeks now since my work schedule has changed. It was a struggle in the beginning, but kept pushing through. So far I look forward to waking up extra early to get my workout done
It's nice that you guys always include people with classic full time jobs into consideration. I hate some fitness youtubers that act like its all easy to work out everyday and havin a good diet whilst doing their fitness content as their main job
Waiting for that fourth edition of the 12 week plan!! I think I’ve ran through the third edition about three times over the past 5 years. I wrote every workout (e.g., P1D1, P1D2, etc) on its own 3x3 sticky note folded in half. I would pull the stack out from my backpack, un-clip the one for that day, and then just use it as my guide. You guys helped me take ownership of my health, my schedule, and transform my body. Thank you so much. I’ll support you all the way!
I work out at 4am almost every day for years now and it's the best!!! After work I'm too tired or stressed. It sets me up for a positive, ambitious outlook and leaves my evening open for impromptu things I may want to do. I don't have to choose between. The downside is going to bed early. Best of all...the gains are great because morning is when I am the most refreshed and ready to workout.
4 videos in 5 days let’s goo 💪
awesome to have another vid already!! looking fw to the new plan. i like these ones where you are working out but talking about stuff like this. it's almost like having a workout buddy. so it helps get the mind in that gear.
No one going to say anything about how Hudsons golden locks are gone 😭
Samson cut his hair …. But not the gains 🤣💪🏻
Awesome video guys. I've been following your channel for a while including when I was restarting out in the gym last year. I've been going to bed before 8pm and getting up at 3am to have breakfast, coffee and then an hour in the gym from 4-5am for over a year now and it's definitely changed my life and physique for the better.
Your dedication is inspiring. 100% can see why you’re so successful
That remodel looking pretty dope! Letss Gooo!
Thanks Buff dudes. Your energy guys makes me wanna train more and more and more
Excellent content as always! Great work on the buff dudes gym🎉 Can't wait for the new 12 week program
I have to get up at 4AM to get a work out in. Yes, most of the times it's extremely difficult but worth it every time
Loving this new cadence of Buff Dudes in my feed, thanks for the video guys!
I'm 66 and get in three workouts a week on my porch no matter what the weather. And 2 gym work outs a week. 5 days. I am up at 4 AM and start at 4:45. 48 minutes each workout. Anyway it makes my day. Thanks guys for the inspiration.
Love the Buff Dudes. I always try to stay Buff 💪 yeah!!
Buff dudes are the best and always inspiring! The cookbook is amazing btw! Get it if you haven’t already! #StayBuff!!!
Hudson got a buff haircut!
Awesome!
Content city. Loving this
true said you brother are amazing…i feel very motivated after seeing your dedication ❤
I recently got pretty sick and ended up taking 3 months off my workout regiment. My college friend recently got back into the gym and motivated me to start going with him at 4am before our work days and I love it. I’m more productive at work, I spend more time with my wife and fur babies.
I’m not sure what was more distracting, checking out the new gym aesthetic or Hudson’s fresh cut 💪🏽😎
It's been a while since I watched a Buff Dudes video and this brought me right back to my first years lifting back in 2014. Makes me want to go through the 12 week program for a 4th time 💪
This video EARNED my thumbs up solely on "Let's GOOOOOOOO!" and proper mic holding. Well done gents.
Good job with the lights in the renewed jim, it's not an easy thing to pull off.
Video 13 of reminding you guys of how much of an inspiration you are to us all. Love love
Best workout channel on UA-cam. Im glad someone has finally called out the “Let’s Go” shit!
Showing of the new gym and Hudson’s new hairdo!
Just the fact y’all acknowledge how 8pm is hard isn’t because it’s early, but because it shaves away at that little bit of evening me time makes me respect y’all for being real. 😢
perfect timing on this video for me. I'm about to start working a 5am-2pm shift, and since I don't like people i'm going to go to the gym around 3:30am. keep up the good content guys, you guys keep me inspired since you are about the same age as me getting old at 39
You know what’s also a great way to start your day- the BUFF Dudes channel 💪🏼thank you guys for another great vid. Gah I’ll be the first to say I hate going to bed early after I get home from work, just feels like your free time is over instantly and you have to start again. But I definitely wanna try early morning workouts for the benefits, it sounds amazing from the comments here too
The let's go!!! did it for me !! 😂 good shit
This is awasome because discipline equals freedom gotta stay buff..... like the. Brothers
Like the remodel!
6 years waking up and working out at 5am. Cannot be overstated how that has kept me on track. Number one reason, it’s done for the day. Number two, man it wakes you up. Side note, the guys look great and it is refreshing to see them lifting reasonable weight. All the influencers seem to lift crazy weights and make me feel like I’m a lightweight, and I’m a decently strong dude!
Hudson clinging to the last scraps of his youth with that Gen Z haircut and the "let's fucking GOOOO" motivation.
I see it, and can relate.
I've been training in the mornings before work for two years now and it's never easy waking up at 4am, but I rarely miss a workout and my workouts go a lot more smoothly and quickly because there's less people in the gym to compete for equipment.
I tried something similar to that like in Brandon's 20's. 2 workouts in a day 6am and 6pm. I had really good benefits i was pumped all the time. I satarted to use my time more efficiently. It was great! 100% Recommended to try If you have right conditions!!!
I've been training at 5am consistently since 2016, after my first son was born. It's now such a part of my routine, that I feel really off during rest days.
I love how they legitimise
Not lifting heavy. It’s all about the effort and duration and dedication !
I've been doing this myself for the past couple months. Full time job + family... I only get about 6 hours of sleep but I love getting up early and getting my workout in.
I've tried working out in the evening and I'm so much more consistent doing it in the morning. Between work and family time, it's way too easy to skip or shorten the evening workout. Plus my gym is full of dedicated people in the morning and it's kind of motivating to be there with that group.
I got 4 weeks left of my current plan - Buff Dudes cutting plan and are starting to plan for the next program. Was planning on trying out the 12 week program but you guys mentioned that you are working on the 4th edition. Do you know by when you are planning on releasing it? I might wait for it and make a mini program until it is released. Thank you for all of the great eduction!
That personal gym is treasure ❤😂
its helpful but not easy to do it constently ..good video buff dudes
I live in France, my gym open at 6am and I have 30 minutes to get there so I wake up at 5am everyday (I eat my overnight oats before gym, and just after workout I go to job) I have to say it was a bit hard at first but after a week of doing that now it's ok, I'm in my routine and waking at 5am become easy, the hardest part of a new routine is the beginning :D
Hi, thanks for the video. May I ask what kind of equipment you are using in gym? A video with your suggestions may help us home gym rats enormously.
I understand exactly what Hudson is talking about at 2:52;
there is really something special about being up and kicking ass before the sun has even risen, almost like you are secretly starting the day before the day has actually begun.
Got into the early morning routine back when I was in the army. Fast-forward 10 years and Im still in by 5am. But 8 hours of sleep a night isn’t happening lol. I shoot for 6-7 and try to make up some on the weekends.
Early workouts are also something which Matt Wenning has said is a must for those doing heavy manual labor if they don’t want the grind from the day to hinder their performance.
This is great timing. My workouts have just started to slip
Hudson with the 90's Rick Flair haircut.
That’s the only time I have to work out. I (not a morning person) have noticed I’m quicker to be conversational in the am after my work out. I feel better through out the day.
I've experimented with different workout times myself, and I definitely concur that working out in the morning is extremely beneficial mentally.
However, I don't think it's as beneficial physically. Personally, I find I warm up slower in the morning, and I'm a little bit weaker. I also don't get as good a pump as I do with 2-3 meals in me.
So it's a trade-off. There's advantages and disadvantages to any time of the day you choose to work out.
The most inportant thing, I find, is keeping workout times consistent i.e. working out at the same time each day.
I have found the same...im stronger at night after a days meals and water intake.
Glad someone finally acknowledged the constant “LETS GO” from the young ones 😂
Have you guys done an about us video or an AMA? Very curious about your stories and the story of BUFF Dudes
I usually hit my gym at about 4:45 (opens at 5 officially, but dude gets there early)…..until 5:45….clock in work at 6. Usually fasted most days. Fasted that early makes the pre workout powder pretty intense 💪🏼
Different when you have kids, and other responsibilities.
5:45 then clock in at 6.....hygiene gone out the window
But, Is injury risk more higher in the early mornings than the afternoon?
@@SantiagoSarmiento1 It shouldn't be unless you're doing your 1-max reps the second you leave the bed. Do some warm-up first, be it through warm-up sets or a walk. Personalised advice but my trainer recommends morning when my pain is lower (chronic pain) which aids in focus and thus reduces my injury risk.
I have been doing 5 am workouts for the past week since being a new parent. Me and my wife both hit the gym but I opted for the morning time so she can go in the afternoon after I get off work. It’s a struggle but we make it work.
Awesome congrats..what time do you get to sleep?
LETS GOOOO!!
Good vid
Been in and out of the gym in phases during my life. Recently I asked my very active brother-in-law if he'd go to the gym with me and he said he could only go at 530am due to his kids, so I just kinda did it. Currently at 3 days a week, and I feel amazing the days I go. The hardest part by far is trying to get my body to adjust to the sleep schedule so I will be working on that.
bro, I don’t even go to bed till 4 AM. Why? Because me and my wife are separated I don’t live with my son, and I own my own business.
You know its bit crazy that i was your big fan like 12-15(?) years ago. 😄 Now i am 30yo and find you again, it feels like i live my teenager years again. 😃
Thanks for some motivation ive been trying to motivate myself for the past few months to do this more often it'd help if I had a work out partner as well to motivate one anotherI've fallen off the wagon and if the damn thing would stop it'd b easier to get back on but since I started a new job it's been hard to I lost 130 lbs the first year I worked out but didn't have work to worry about then now I'm at my goal weight I'd like to Shape the clay as u say
thanks for the advice man you guys are a true inspiration i hope to someday be great like you and buff guys i have also started my journey if you would like to see my progress
Ive been doing 4am workouts for about a year now, occasionally due to certain things i go at different times but its 90% 4am and wouldn't change it for the world. Its freezing in winter, its sometimes hard but its SO much better, empty gym, focus, positive start i 100% recommend it to everyone if you can.
i started my fitness journey with 4AM training! and i loved it! now training at 5AM cause my gym doesnt open at 4AM anymore
LET'S F. GOOO!!!
Hahh, the mid-workout coffee, helllll yeah
After Some Months I'm Also Planning To Keep My Workout Routine At 4 Am After I've Completed My Project Works You're Video Had Given Me More Motivation And To Tell You The Important Thing My Inspiration Is To Build A Bigger Arms Like You , Now Also Everyday I'll See You're Bigger Arms Workout Before My Workout ... I'm 25 Now I Wanna Build A Buff Body Like You When I'm 27 ... My Transformation Should Be Like That ... Although I'm Telling This Thing To You First Because You're An Inspiration For Body Building 😍😎💪🏼
I really like starting the day off early with jumping rope. It's like a natural shot of caffeine and wakes me up to start my day. Feels bad ass in 30-40 degree weather at 6am.
For any sort of strength work, like lifting or calisthenics, I prefer late morning to early afternoon. It's better once you've been up and your CNS has settled in.
Now that I work out at 4AM M-F it has changed my life for the better. There is hardly a crowd at the gym vs 4PM and my day starts off so much more motivating when I pay myself first and do my routine.
I really like the friendly shots they make to other youtube channels 😂
I wish I was this person. I’ve tried so many times over the years to do the super early gym time and just keep slipping back to after work workouts. Great video as usual. I may try again…
the LESSSSSSSSGOOOOOO! is cracking me up cuz jesse totally does that. (idk if he's unique in that, but it's the only place i was hearing it.) 😂😂😂
You guys always make me laugh. "Let's fucking go!" LMAOooooo
2 year countdown to Hudson’s next haircut is on. ⏲️
I love my 3:30-4:30 a.m workouts. Been doing all MT lifting and running between 3 and 5 for 7 years now. I can't even workout any other time at this point lol
Starting at 3:00am after I thank God for everything and drink a pot of coffee,💥 calisthenics and cold shower. Great way to start the day!!!
I'm so used to Hudson having long hair... this doesn't seem real😮
@buff dudes thanks boys. But how do you keep power the rest of the day with the usual task ?
The few times i've sort of tried to do this (more like 6am than 4am) I just found i had terrible workouts. Couldn't warm up sufficiently, felt fatigued, and seemed to get injured more easily. Plus I would hit a bit of an energy wall later in the day. Perhaps that was because of nutrition or rushing things (maybe I needed that extra hour or two to provide a slow warm up) but ultimately i've settled on getting in 40min workouts every weekday lunch time. It's not ideal but I find it best balances feeling like my mind and body has woken up without having the stress of feeling you still have to do a workout out when you're tired in the evenings.
That PHONK!
I think you can replace 4 AM with whatever reasonably early workout time and this idea is great. I do 5 AM. Gives me an hour at the gym, and an hour at home before work to get stuff done.
Helps you to get tired at a good time and keep the cycle going after you settle into it.
LETS GOOOO!!!!
My gym opens at 5:30 AM but as a mom of dogs and humans, precedence goes to getting their needs taken care of first. Gym afterwards. However, I do love watching your vids so kudos to “getting it done. “
Funny i see this haha, I started working out at 4AM last month, its one of the best decisions i have made for my workouts
LET’S GOOO!!
Buff twins!
