How I Finally Built a 5AM Wake up and Workout Routine

In this video, I’m sharing the three key changes that helped me become a consistent 5 a.m. workout person even though I’m not naturally a morning person. I walk through the mindset shift that made early workouts possible, how aligning sleep with 90-minute cycles dramatically improved my mornings, and the simple systems I use to remove friction and stay consistent. I also share my full gym morning routine, planning tools, and a few bonus tips that helped turn this into a sustainable habit. If you’re trying to build an early morning routine or create a more consistent workout schedule, I hope this gives you a practical and realistic starting point to start your own early morning routine.
