Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, welcome back to Dopamine Reset. I'm your
host Leo Weston, and today we're diving into something super crucial,
creating a morning routine that includes exercise. Now, before you
roll your eyes and think, Hugh another pep talk about
being productive, stick with me for a sec. We're not

(00:22):
talking about becoming some superhuman athlete who wakes up at
four a m. To crush a marathon. This is about
finding ways to weave movement into your mornings in a
way that actually feels good, helps you feel better, and
sets the tone for an awesome day. Ever, wake up
feeling like you're dragging through molasses. You know that feeling

(00:45):
when your brain is foggy, your motivation levels are on vacation,
and even getting out of bed feels like climbing Mount Everest.
Yeah we've all been there. But guess what exercise can
be your secret weapon against the morning grogginess. Now, I'm
not saying you need to go full on hardcore gym

(01:06):
rat every single day. This is about finding what works
for yo U. Maybe that's a brisk walk around the block,
a quick yoga flow in your living room, or even
just some dancing to your favorite tunes while you get ready.
The key here is consistency. Even ten minutes of movement
can make a world of difference. Think of it like this.

(01:29):
You wouldn't wait until your car was completely out of
gas before filling up the tank, right, You give it
regular fuel to keep things running smoothly. Your body needs
that same kind of attention. All right, let's break down
five key takeaways to help you build a morning routine
that includes exercise and actually sticks. One. Start small. Don't

(01:53):
try to go from zero to hero overnight. Begin with
something manageable, like a five minute stretch routine or a
short one. As you get more comfortable, gradually increase the
intensity and duration. Remember, consistency is key. You're building a
habit here, not running a marathon. Two. Find what you enjoy.

(02:16):
Exercise shouldn't feel like punishment. Experiment with different activities until
you find something that you genuinely look forward to, whether
it's hiking, swimming, dancing, or playing a sport. Choose something
that brings you joy and makes you want to move
your body. If you hate running on the treadmill, don't

(02:37):
force yourself to do it. There are tons of other
ways to get your heart rate up. And feel good.
Three schedule it in. Treat your exercise time like any
other important appointment. Block it out in your calendar, and
make it a non negotiable part of your morning routine. Four.

(02:59):
Prep the night before. Lay out your workout clothes, pack
your gym bag, or even set up your yoga mat
in advance. This small act of preparation can make a
big difference when it comes to getting moving in the morning. Remember,
making things easier on yourself is a superpower, not a weakness. Five.

(03:22):
Be kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up. If you
miss a day or two. Life happens. Just get back
on track as soon as possible. Celebrate your wins and
acknowledge your progress. You're doing great. Let me paint you
a picture. Imagine this. It's Monday morning. The alarm goes off,

(03:43):
maybe even before you want it to, But instead of
hitting snooze and burying yourself under the covers, you get
out of bed, feeling energized and ready to tackle the day.
You put on your workout clothes, which are already laid
out from last night, and head outside for a risk
walk around the block. The sun is shining, birds are singing,

(04:04):
and you're already feeling more alert and focused than usual.
This isn't a fantasy, it's a possibility. By incorporating exercise
into your morning routine, you're setting yourself up for success.
You're not just physically healthier, but you're also boosting your
mental clarity, improving your mood, and giving yourself that extra

(04:26):
edge to conquer whatever comes your way. Remember, folks, small
changes can lead to big results. So today, challenge yourself
to try something new. Even a little bit of movement
can make a world of difference. Get out there, embrace
the morning, and let's fire up those dopamine levels together.
