ALSO, exercising in the first hour might not be practical for you-- maybe you can use that time for reviewing your schedule and goals, and then exercise in the second hour of the morning if that feels more natural for you.
This is GREAT advice Athena. Thank you!

Robbins has it right that moving as soon as you wake up provides a tremendous benefit for the day. However, if you like to be more gentle upon waking, something as easy as breathing deeply, stretching, yoga, or doing plié's with a big grin on your face will also provide benefit.

Sometimes I like to wake up slowly in this way, warming up my body with light exercise, eating breakfast, then meditating, feeling the warmth of gratitude for the food digesting in my belly.

Many times the Hour of Power can be enhanced by taking this time beforehand to get clear about why you are awake or alive this particular day.
