Early morning risers on MTM: Fitness instructor at the YMCA – KTVQ Billings News

BILLINGS -

While alarm clocks are sounding off across Billings, a fitness instructor is getting a kick start to the day.

"There's something special about early mornings when there's nobody out. It's like you get to wake up without being rushed into waking up, said Danni Butler, fitness instructor at the YMCA.

With a start time of 5:20 a.m. on Tuesdays, Butler goes from resting to motivational instructor in an hour.

"I have people relying on me to get here. You can't just lay there and be like, oh, I'm going to skip out today," she said.

What many early risers consider their lifeblood, Butler skips the coffee every morning and replaces it with a healthy dose of exercise.

"I almost feel like I'm more productive after working out because you get your heart rate going and your blood going. It's almost better than coffee because then you're awake, she said.

Butler observes the same in her students.

"First thing in the morning when they're coming in, everyone is kind of dragging. When you start getting them going and they start getting their blood going and everything else, then they start waking up. That's when they start getting chatty and stuff. But first thing when you're setting up and they're coming in waiting for class, everyone is kind of tired, not real chipper."

If chipper isn't one of the words you would use to describe yourself in the morning, Butler, a mother of three, believes it's doable.

Not being a real morning person naturally, I was kind of nervous the first couple of weeks. I wasn't sleeping real well because I was so paranoid that I wasn't going to get up. But it can actually be done and you can train yourself to do it, she said.
