My Healthy Morning Routine Before I Workout
The Perfect Start To My Morning
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing an example of my healthy morning routine before I workout.
Once I wake up in the morning I hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate some more.
What I Drink In The Morning
The first thing I drink is a glass of lemon water.

Morning Dog Walks With Bruno
It’s another beautiful day in LA.
Every time I step out my front door, I can expect this beautiful weather, since the weather in LA is paradise.
I love going for a walks with Bruno first thing in the morning.
These morning walks usually take approximately 20-25 minutes.
While Bruno checks out the sights and smells, and goes to the bathroom, I usually use the time to create a few pieces of video content.
Side note: if you are a dog owner, pick up your dog’s poop.
Doing the little things in life shows in all areas of your life.
Once I’m done filming, I put my headphones on and listen to a podcast to get my mind motivated and ready for the day.
My Morning Greens Drink
Once I’m back from my morning walk, I have my greens drink.
Here’s a link to the AG1 greens powder that I use.

For some reason I find when you drink your greens drink out of a mason jar, it just makes it even healthier.
Don’t ask me why, it just does.
Then I break my fast some time between 12pm-2pm.
Up until that time, I’m just drinking liquids.
