Try the morning routine of your favorite celebrity


There are better ways to start your day than snoozing your alarm and scrolling through social media. Breaking bad habits is hard, but a healthy morning routine could be the key to starting a new chapter in your life. From meditation, to working out, to making a maca-powder smoothie, there’s plenty of ways to start the day on the right foot. Make a change to your mornings, and find out how these celebs and successful figures start the day.



Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey apparently starts her day with 20 minutes of meditation, before getting on the treadmill. She “tune[s] herself in” by going for a walk, listening to music, or making a nice meal.



Victoria Beckham

A 6 am start, two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a kiwi smoothie, two workouts, and taking the kids to school. Victoria Beckham has one intense morning routine.



Barack Obama


The former President works out in the morning, doing weights and cardio at around 6:45 am.



Rosie Huntington-Whiteley


The supermodel wakes up bright and early, at 6 am. She cuddles with her dogs, enjoys a green breakfast, and does her all-important skincare routine.



Mark Zuckerberg


The Facebook mastermind is up at 8 am most days. He also apparently sleeps in tomorrow’s t-shirt, so he doesn’t waste time picking out an outfit.



Viola Davis


The ‘Widows’ star wakes up at 5:30 am and works out with her husband. “That part of my day is completely about me and my husband,” she told Refinery29.



Demi Lovato


“I like to do two workouts,” the singer told The Cut. “The first one will be boxing for an hour or maybe kickboxing or jiu jitsu, and then I’ll strengthen and condition by lifting weights for an hour.”



Kim Kardashian


Kardashian told Harper’s Bazaar that she’s up at 6 am, goes for a run, and works out while listening to R&B or classical music.



Steve Jobs


Steve Jobs had a heck of a morning routine. He would apparently look in the mirror, and ask himself “If today was the last day of my life, would I be happy with what I’m about to do today?” That seems pretty intense.



Audrey Hepburn


Hepburn started the morning with two eggs and some whole wheat toast. She detoxed every month, but never skipped breakfast.



Tory Burch


Burch gets her start at 5:45 am, checking her e-mails first thing. She manages to get a 45-minute workout in, but makes great use of her time, leaving the house with wet hair.



Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston gets up at 4:30 am. Even on days off, the actress only sleeps in until 8 or 9 am at the latest. She moisturizes, meditates, and drinks a shake with maca powder and cacao.



Richard Branson


Richard Branson sleeps on his own private island, and starts the day by taking a dip in the ocean and swimming around. That’s pretty hard to try yourself—unless you also have your own island—so why not try his tip of sleeping with the curtains open?



Queen Elizabeth II


The Queen apparently wakes up at 7:30 am, and slurps up some breakfast tea with Marie cookies.



Khloé Kardashian


This Kardashian sister wakes up at 5 am for her morning workout. Then it’s green tea, a banana, and a peanut butter pack.



Jack Dorsey


The tech giant tends to wake up at 5:30 am. He apparently meditates and jogs for six miles.



Marilyn Monroe


The blonde bombshell had an interesting morning routine. She warmed a cup of milk, mixed it with raw eggs, and drank it. She also took a multi-vitamin pill for that extra kick.



Bill Gates


The successful businessman does an hour on the treadmill after getting up.



Kate Hudson


Hudson has said she wakes up between 6:30 am and 7:30 am. She needs a 15 minute snooze before drinking a cup of coffee while watching ‘Morning Joe.’



Sheryl Sandberg


Sandberg is the glamorous CEO of Facebook, who sleeps with all her devices turned off.



Martha Stewart


“I get up a couple hours before I’m supposed to leave in the morning and I’ll put on a mask,” Stewart told the Times. “I’ve always done this — well, basically since I discovered masks.”



Arianna Huffington


The Greek-American businesswoman is the co-founder of The Huffington Post. She has spoken on the importance of beauty sleep, and has asked employees to sleep during the work day.



Julianne Hough


“I set little spiritual goals for my day,” Julianne Hough told Well+Good. “[I] sit up and think of five things I’m grateful for that have either happened to me already or that I want to do that day that will in turn make me grateful.”



Peter Jones


The entrepreneur keeps things simple in the morning. He gets up, gets dressed, and shaves. Then it’s coffee on-the-go and checking e-mails, all in 20 minutes.



Ryan Seacrest


Seacrest gets through the morning without dealing with messages and online concerns. “I’ve learned that I can only have the capacity to engage in so much for certain amount of times,” he told the New York Times.



Simon Cowell


Simon Cowell apparently starts the day with around 500 push-ups. If he has time for an extra work out, he’ll fit it in. He also has a steam and a bath, but it’s always breakfast in bed.



Lord Alan Sugar


This British businessman gets on his bike most mornings, going for a 50-mile (80-km) ride through Essex. That’s if he isn’t filming the UK version of ‘The Apprentice.’



Winston Churchill


The Prime Minister apparently woke up at 7:30 am every day. He would apparently stay in bed for a couple of hours, where he would talk with staff, chow down on breakfast, and get up to date with the news.



Indra Nooyi


The PepsiCo chair is up at 4 am, and in the office by 7 am. So why does she only get around four hours of sleep per night? “A healthy fear that the world is changing, and a conviction that, to win, you have to change faster and be more agile than anyone else,” she told the Harvard Business Review.



Howard Schultz

Schultz recently stepped down from Starbucks, and hopes to become US President. “I get up at 4:30 am every morning to walk my three dogs and work out. Around 5:45 am I make coffee for myself and my wife using an 8-cup Bodum French press,” he told Bloomberg.
