You have a good routine to start the day! I get up at 4 am, make up the bed, feed the pup, have a cup of coffee while doing my devotional, then lift weights, followed by walking the pup, then getting ready for work. I love working out in the morning because it isn't competing with the rest of my day. Happy Friday!

I will! It is a goal of mine.Thank yoou!

When I was on a calorie deficit, my morning was, coffee with oat milk, 2 eggs, and a plate of celery, sweet red pepper, and chopped apple. After I lost 40 lbs, my trainer bumped up my calories up because I was going heavier in weight training. Now I've added oatmeal and blueberries in my breakfast. I just turned 70 and I've been with a trainer 1 1/2 years. What I'm finding is, an older body responds slower. I have to be patient. I was a sedentary office worker and was never an athlete, so my body is slowly transforming with this new lifestyle. Thank you for your inspiration ❤️

OK, starting a new morning routine tomorrow! Wake and up at 7:30. Put my gym clothes on, walk the dog, fill water bottle, get out to walk by 8:00, back at 9:00 on Thursday & Friday, Sat, Sun, scheduled moved up 15 min to be at my desk working at 9:00 on Mon, Tues, Wed. Going to add oatmeal to my breakfast with wild blueberries, orange juice with Spirulina and then my protein meal with cheeries, strawberries, coconut mile and pea protein later in the morning. Green tea and water the rest of the day until early dinner. Not sure when I will work in a late lunch, and maybe I will just do an early dinner. Lots of things to work out. I will make sure to eat my protein and green carbs! Then in a week I am going to add lower body, upper body and core exercises. Starting slowly until my broken rib is healed. My why for today and the next few weeks is to strengthen the muscles to alleviate lower back pain. My constant why is to age healthier, feel better, and not suffer from preventable health issues so I can see my Grandchildren grow up! Thank you for your inspiration.

Hi Joan, my routine is getting up at 5:00. I feed my two dogs homemade food which takes a little time then I have coffee while hubby makes the bed. Then I have my hot millet cereal with pecans, cinnamon and flax seed. My Bible study is next then I am off getting ready for work. I have a Salon so I am on my feet all day. Then I am off to the gym.

I am a retired teacher. I am 64. My morning routine: Wake up, drink hot water, give mantras and prayers for world peace, make my bed, take a shower, work out for 15 min, eat breakfast.

Thank u for sharing your morning routine. Although it may seem a simple thing it is so very important to have structure! I’m 63, not in bad shape but going there…until I saw you! New follower!

You are so inspiring! Yes...I have a strong a.m. routine - make bed, make coffee, let cat out, brush teeth, journaling, create 5 wins for the day card, shower & dress, study Spanish, and then study English for enhanced vocabulary. I did the 5 am. Club, but now upped it to the 4:00 a.m. Club. Love all the extra time to deep dive into life! Keep up your great work.

I start every morning with a 20 minute, one mile walk with my dog. Three days a week I follow this up with 20 minutes of yoga. Every afternoon I repeat my 20 minute walk. Then it's time for breakfast which is alternating either oatmeal or fiber one cereal with almond milk and fruit. Then I follow the cereal up with a slice of Ezekiel flourless bread with butter and two, sometimes three eggs. I finish it off with coffee and an almond creamer and vitamins. I'm retired, 72 and feel great. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and routine.

Love your routine! I also make my bed straight away, take my rx and supplements, drink 16oz of filtered room temp water, make a cup of warm lemon/ginger water, grab my journal, & head to my meditation seat. I’ll meditate either silently or guided for anywhere from 10-20 minutes. After I review inspiration from a book, on IG or KZread (such as this video). Finally I journal before heading to Yoga (recently finished my 200hr YTT at age 63). You are such an inspiration to me and I hope to come up Tulum to see you soon!!

Love you Joan!

Your such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing with us. I’ve always been athletic and very active. When I hit that dreaded 50 and I cried like a baby for weeks, things started to change, my knees hurt my hips hurt all of the sudden I began gaining weight that I could not loose and was full of inflammation. Being a functional Nutrition Practitioner I knew I was out of balance and had to do something. Although I knew food could heal me I was not trained to understand Macros and how that could be such a game changer. I decided to join Beachbody for accountability and to learn how to eat the right amount of macros for my changing body. I love that you didn’t just say “well I’m 70 now that’s just how it’s going to be”. So many of my patients have that attitude and it makes me so angry. We can age and still lead a vibrant life if we choose to honor our body and take care of it. You rock Joan! May our Heavenly Father bless and keep you

Hi Joan Loved this morning routine. I have had depression for many years and have recently turned it around substantially with starting my day for better mental health. First thing, I try not to sleep in or lie in bed too long as those negative thoughts start to creep up. I get up, make my bed. Put the kettle on to make a healthy green tea.Get changed. Do some stretching and mindfulness for about 10 mins. That gets me going straight away. X

I must have my black tea in the morning! lol! I recently started strength training with a personal trainer. I don't need to loose weight, just want to get stronger and build more muscle mass.
