I have been an early riser since a young boy, I grew up on a farm & those where the rules, I had horses & chores. I have my own gym in the house and I do everything on a time schedule. I'm up at 4:00am, in the gym at 4:30am, in the shower by 5:30am eat and out the door by 6:30am. I load my bike in my Pickup, drive to my Park-&-Ride & bike 15 miles to work. I leave work 5-5:30pm ride 15 miles back to my pickup. I am in bed no later than 9:00pm. Even on my rest days in the gym I still get up at 4:00am. I find it is best to keep a schedule based on the clock.
