Have you tried (and possibly failed) at keeping a consistent morning routine? You’re not alone!

You’ve heard the benefits of a morning routine, but sometimes you may feel like you don’t have the time to commit to one… or staying in bed an extra few minutes just feels too good.

That’s why Liz Plosser joins the show today to talk about being the architect of your mornings– meaning creating a morning routine with things that energize you and fill your cup.

We’re talking simple routine ideas, benefits of morning strength training in our 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond, nutrition tips, and re-inventing your health to set you up for success.

As we get older, our bodies are physiologically changing and unless we do something to counteract that to stay healthy, we're just going to continue down that path. The easiest way to counteract it?

A consistent morning routine packed with healthy habits.

Tune in here to learn how to make the most of your mornings!
