A paparazzo once jumped out of a car and started running backward with me. I slowed down out of courtesy because she started drifting into the street. I reached out my hand and moved her back so she didn't get hit by a bus.
I think it's probably best to work out in the morning to get it out of the way. My ultimate top tip is to drag yourself even if you have to roll yourself out of your bed and in to a sit-up - it's really not that bad once you start.
