Early to bed and early to rise sounds great in theory—until you try to put it into practice. It can be tough to spring out of bed the moment your alarm goes off.

But what if your morning routine was a source of energy for the day (and I'm not just talking about those two or three cups of coffee you guzzle)—rather than just a bland routine of brushing your teeth and throwing an outfit on?

Women's Health editor-in-chief Liz Plosser is on a mission to make every person a morning person. Her new book, Own Your Morning, has all the tips and tricks from health and wellness experts you need to totally change the way you get up every day.
