Work up to it: It wasn't until Westman-Cherry, 46, had established a consistent workout habit that she switched her workouts from evenings to mornings (when her daughter was born). "I think it would be hard to go from not working out at all to working out at 5 in the morning every day," she says. Now she gets up at 4:40 a.m. every day and is at the gym by 5 a.m. Her routine is so set that her dogs don't even get out of bed when she leaves before sunrise. They know to wait until 7 a.m. for their walk.
