Some tips I have! How to ensure you’re tired by 9/9:30 - wake up early, like 6am. Even if you don’t workout the first day, just wake up and stay up at 6, by the time 9 comes around, you’ll be tired and can get up early again the following morning! How to get your workout in in the morning - have your clothes picked out, and cut out anything extra morning steps you can the night before (picking work outfit, prepping lunch, setting the coffee maker) How to get through your workday post morning workout - hydrate and don’t over do it on caffeine to compensate for maybe being more tired early on You got this!! And of course, don’t beat yourself up 💕

I wake up at 5am to workout before work every morning. I think of it as doing something completely for myself before doing something for someone else (aka work) and that helps me get up!

[@karleywhite6941]

I do a mix of morning and night workouts! I work 9-5 (usually stay until 5:15-5:30) and it takes 20-30 min to get to my gym after work. I was starting to get burnt out going to the gym every night and feeling like I never had time at home. I started incorporating a mix of both and it's been the best! I work out in the evening M,W,Th and the morning T,Fri! I go to my gym at 6:45 (workout 6:45-8:15, shower, leave by 8:40 for work!) on Tuesdays and then Friday I take a barre class at 5:45am-6:45am so I still have a full morning at home before work! - Tips for morning workouts - sleep in your workout clothes/have them right by your bed, I personally drink a celsius before morning workouts for energy, and look forward to that treat and find it helps me with energy! Be patient with yourself! I have learned to LOVE morning workouts and the feeling of getting so much done so early!

[@Chanelmagic05]

I miss your nyc vlogs so much. I feel like Michelle was at her peak here, it set high standards her current texas vlogs can't compare. Even her own sister said in Michelle's podcast that she thought aiden and Michelle will be a nyc power couple....

The biggest tip I ever started when I needed to get an earlier start is to plug my phone in across my room! That way, when my alarm goes off I have to physically get up out of bed to turn it off. Once you're standing, your body will have an easier time staying up :)

Hey Michelle! The last two years i've been working out during the nights only. between 7pm to even 11 pm lifts. The last three months i've transitioned to waking up at 4 am and getting to the gym between 4:30-5 am workouts. Honestly...pre workout to get my started and a good nights rest before to help wake me up. And noticing how much more time I get in the day for other things or less to worry about once I get it done. Working out de-stresses me too, I just think it's all in the mental shift in how you go about the transition. You got this!

[@faerielass]

It may sound weird but if you sleep in your workout clothes it's super easy to get up and get out the door without the extra step of having to get dressed. It always motivates me if I'm already ready to go as soon as I wake up.

[@angielou4951]

This is brilliant!! Lol

[@Julie070897]

I usually get up between 5 and 6 to workout before work and I love it. My colleagues and friends think I'm crazy but it's honestly the best thing ever. Been doing it for 2 years now and I absolutely adore the feeling. It makes my morning so much better and I can allow myself to relax after work !!

[@arianahanley4031]

Hey I just wanted to say that I love your videos! Also I especially love when you make "Work Week In My Life" videos that are extra long!! I love watching them on my days off when I have a ton of work to do, it just gives me motivation to get everything done! ❤️

[@addisondaniale2856]

I started working out in the mornings a few weeks ago, and it has really changed my life lol. It makes me feel more productive and awake when I get to work, and it definitely makes me go to sleep earlier at night. I love your vlogs, they are very cozy and relaxing to watch!! xoxo

[@danikamcnair288]

Always an awesome morning when I see Michelle posted a video! Something so relaxing and inspiring about watching your videos in the morning while sipping coffee! 💕💕💕

[@BronwynAlexandriaa]

waking up at 5am is pretty life-changing - it alters your schedule in the sense that you will need to be in bed by 9pm and asleep by 9:30pm. Waking up at 5am also ensures you have a productive morning, it allows time to not feel rushed, stressed or anxious before work. Work takes up the majority of your day and then when you get home you have a nice three hours to unwind, study your Bible, rest and shower. But yea - I started waking up early because I began working at a Coffee Shop and it completely changed my life. Waking up early when nobody else is awake allows you to be productive and get things done without a lot of noise, distraction or competition. It's very clearing.

[@Audrey-mq8pl]

Hey Michelle! I workout in the mornings before class...but the only thing that gets me up is reminding myself how much cozy free time I’ll have at the end of the day if I wake up and get my workout over with

[@justmorganandmakeup]

I was the exact same way. I used to only do late night workouts. I swore that I hated morning workouts. I still enjoy night workouts because of the stress relief it provides-you can kinda just sweat away the day. But, the morning workouts allow me to get so much more done! It makes me feel so productive and really clears my head before the day. Tips are: Don’t do anything before you workout, just change and go Have something to look forward to when you get home! I look forward to the protein shake I make when I get home for breakfast- and it’s economically more feasible because I get to reduce the cost of a meal essentially (versus at night I just add it on top of my third meal)

[@VanessaManley]

I love watching your vlogs when I get ready in the morning for work 😍 Lil constructive feedback: I’ve noticed that your clips tend to cut off half of the word. Are you editing on adobe premiere? I used to have the same problem with the beginning of my clips but it can be easily fixed. Happy Wednesday!

[@sarahldavis]

I love that you are working out in the mornings! I’ve started doing that and it feels AMAZING. A few tips: - make sure to get to bed early enough so that you can get up early. I’ve started reading before going to sleep and it really helps! Also I got this app called Abide that does guided prayers you can fall asleep to which I would definitely recommend since you struggle with insomnia! - set out your workout clothes the night before. This will motivate you in the morning to actually do it! Stretch before and after your run :) - listen to your body. If you really aren’t feeling it, don’t do it! But also push your self sometimes and do it even if you don’t feel like it! Keep us updated on your workouts in the mornings! 😊❤️

[@rachelparks1934]

also glad you're saving to own property, i feel like that's not super common these days and that's definitely a really big goal of mine as well! it just makes so much more sense!

[@alexlazarchik1724]

I love working out in the morning and actually prefer to do so!! I have a full packed day so I have no time to do it if I don’t do it early. When my alarm goes off at 650 I immediately make myself jump up out of bed. If I get cozy or hit snooze it won’t happen. I lay out my clothes the night before so it’s super fast to get ready and I see them out so it motivates me more. I chug water when I get up too for hydration before my workouts. Then after I brush my teeth I head right out. I always remind myself I’ll feel so much better coming home at night knowing it’s already done and it honestly wakes me up for the day and gives me energy. Especially finishing with a protein shake and cup of coffee!! I read a few motivational quotes too and plan my workout before I sleep so my mindset is right. Hope this helps (:

[@hannahrnguyen]

Always love watching these videos!! Your editing is fantastic & love your message and motivation each week!!

[@kellil3460]

I starting working out in the mornings before school because it just made sense and this is what I do: I set out my workout clothes and my AirPods before I go to bed so I have no excuses and I see them when I wake up. When my alarm goes off, I get right up even if I don’t want to because if I don’t, I will not get up lol. I find that working out in the morning makes me more awake in the morning and I feel energized in the morning. It also makes me tired around 8:30 pm though so I get more in the routine of waking up early and then going to bed early. I overall think like you said that working out in the morning makes me less stressed at night because it’s one less thing I have to do at night and I feel more accomplished when I’ve worked out. Hope this helps a bit!

[@jeannelle_]

I always have to wake up extra early to sit back and relax with me coffee before I head to work. It definitely helps! Love your videos!

[@madis6780]

see i like morning workouts because it puts me in a good mindset and I get so sleepy throughout the day. tips would be to definitely have everything ready to go and cloths by your bed you can just slip into. In my head it gets me up and going and if I work out in the morning then I can shower and get ready for the day. It is also nice because by the evening I forget that I worked out and its not even on my mind as another to-do.

[@sarahsimonian8577]

I workout everyday before work and honestly the most helpful thing is just having EVERYTHING laid out the night before so when I wake up all i have to do is throw on my clothes & grab my bag so I don’t have much time to talk myself out of it 😂 i lack my lunch, set out my workout clothes and work clothes, and pack everything I need for the day the night before!

When I was working long days I would eat lunch at my desk while working (this was common in our office) and go for a walk during my 30 minute lunch break. Brisk walking for 30 minutes every day is a nice basic amount of exercise to get every week!

You have to push through the waking up at 6am for a couple of weeks. There’s no way around it in my opinion but once you do that for 2-3 weeks you’ll see how you feel and won’t stop!

I wake up between 4:45-5 AM during the week to workout. I start work between 7-7:30 AM. What has rrrrreally helped me is sleeping in my leggings/sports bra and charging my phone across the room. That way I have to get out of bed to turn the alarm off and I’m already over half way dressed to workout. I hope that helps :D

Hi! I also work a marketing job in nyc from 9-6 and my best tip for working out in the morning, other than going to sleep early, is to continuously remind yourself of the times that you wish you could have worked out at night but instead did social things (which is totally fine)!! For me, knowing that I already worked out in the morning and felt accomplished powers me and what gives me energy all day. Also, if you’re trying to cut caffeine (like me) drinking one cup right after working out and sticking to tea or decaf coffee/tea at work truly makes the day better. Trust me you will still be tired at night and then you will go to sleep early all over again lol
