What does Drewbie's morning routine actually include?

Five things. He wakes up one hour earlier, starts the day with a big glass of water, writes down three things he's grateful for, moves his body, and listens to motivational content like the podcast. The listener challenge asks you to run that routine for 30 days and share how it goes.

Why drink water as soon as you wake up?

After 6-8 hours of sleep, your body is dehydrated. Drewbie's advice is to rehydrate right away with a big glass of water. If you can, make it ice water. The cold gives your body a refreshing wake-up shock and gets your system moving for the day.

What should I do instead of checking the news or social media in the morning?

Start with gratitude. Think about three things you're thankful for, then write them down in a diary or journal for a bigger mindset shift. Drewbie's point is that gratitude rewires your brain to focus on abundance and positivity, even during tough times, instead of opening your day with negativity.

Do I have to do a hard workout every morning?

No. Start small. A walk, a stretch, or a simple workout counts. What matters is building consistency, because that's what boosts your energy, confidence, and productivity through the rest of the day. Drewbie's own mantra, from his journey back from 315 pounds, is “A 5K a day keeps the casket away.”
