Even though we are busy growing our company, we still make time everyday to eat well and get proper exercise. We typically wake up early in the morning, hydrate with a couple large glasses of water and drink a glass of juice. We vary our workouts with cardio, weight training/Pilates, and stretching and yoga. Check out our typical routine below (we do this 1-4 days/week):
ALEX:
- 30 minutes cardio (on stationary bike)
- 15 minutes stretching and/or yoga
