Everyone over 40 blames aging for their low energy levels.
But it's not age... it's simple daily mistakes.
Here's how to get your energy back like you're 25 years old again: 1. Your morning routine is killing your energy
You wake up, grab coffee, check your phone, and start reacting to the world.
This spikes cortisol and puts you in reactive mode all day.
Try this instead: 10 minutes of movement, hydration, then caffeine.
Set the tone for your day instead of letting it set you.

Running changed my life.
• Marathon
• Ironmans
• Daily runs.
Four years ago, I was 20lbs overweight and couldn't run 1 mile without stopping.
If you're a beginner... here's exactly how to start: 1. Start embarrassingly small
Your first goal isn't to run a marathon.
It's to run for 1 minute without stopping.
Then walk for 2 minutes.
Repeat 3-5 times.
Most people try to do too much too soon and end up burning out during week 2.
