Morning movement cuts cortisol spikes, steadies energy, and primes your metabolism, and we’re bringing our proven systems to the early risers.
Starting Monday, March 17, 2025, we’re excited to expand our tailored approach to strength, conditioning, and longevity with a new trial 6 AM class at CrossFit Amarillo.
This class will be Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until further notice.
3 Early Morning Routine Tips:
- Prep the Night Before – Pack your gym bag, set out shoes, queue your keys. This isn’t just convenience—it’s a system to kill decision fatigue. When your brain’s fresh, not fumbling, you’re already winning. Our athletes know: consistency beats willpower every time.
- Hydrate with Electrolytes Before Coffee – Down 12 – 20 oz of water with a pinch of electrolytes (think sodium, potassium, LMNT, etc) first thing. Cortisol peaks naturally at dawn—slamming coffee spikes it further, dehydrates you, and taxes your adrenals. We prioritize hydration to stabilize your system and prime you for work.
- Grab 15-20g Carbs Post-Workout – Post-session, eat 15-20g of carbs— think apple sauce, Fit Aid recovery drinks, rice cake, whatever’s simple. Research supports this by showing post-workout carbs restore glycogen 30% faster than waiting, halts muscle breakdown, and keeps blood sugar steady, which in turn sets you up for success for the rest of your day.
See ya at 6am!
