I got a question in my DMs the other week from someone asking me for tips on how to become more of a morning person and I felt like this would make a great podcast episode. I consider myself to be a morning person and I’ve always been that way. My current routine has me waking up at 5:15am and going to the gym at 6am, and I genuinely prefer it.

I don’t think that I’m a superior being because I am a morning person which does seem to be a message that’s spread. We are all living the same 24 hours in a day, so if you operate better in the evening hours then by all means stick to that. Early birds are not superior to night owls, it all comes down to a matter of preference.

But the reason I’m making this podcast episode is because sometimes being a morning person is a necessity more than anything. You may acknowledge that you’re less consistent with working out in the afternoons or evenings because your life tends to throw frequent curveballs or you find you’re tired and unmotivated at the end of the day. I know afternoons and evenings are especially hard for those of you with kids and the morning hours are truly the only times you have to yourself. So if you’re in this camp or you want to be a morning person for your own reasons, here’s how you go about doing so.
