Custom 30-minute workouts with bodyweight, weights, and outdoor activities
Hello, I’m Michael Baker. I am a 49-year-old strength trainer, certified Yoga teacher, former yoga studio owner, certified health coach, and dedicated health and wellness practitioner with over 30 years of experience. I began "Get Up Earlier" (GetUpEarlier.com) because getting up earlier was step 1 in transforming my routine and overall well-being, especially after spending years sitting at a computer as a digital professional.

Personalized STRENGTH TRAINING
Custom 30-minute workouts with bodyweight, weights, and outdoor activities.I believe in "lifting heavy things" with high intensity at least 2x per week. Compound exercises, body-weight strength training, physical outdoor work.
I'm here to help you break free from your gym rut or advance your fitness. You need a push in the right direction. Accountability.
One or two 30-minute sessions per week will change your life. You will be amazed by how much we can accomplish in this short time, how quickly your strength improves, and how much you gain as you navigate life. Learn to reframe your time and thoughts about working out, and how it can all be naturally and intuitively integrated into your life.
This effort is further supported via text messages and a simple online platform app.

Quit the Gym & REFRAME YOUR TIME
Once you know what to do, you can do it anywhere.I believe in performing minimalist outdoor strength training as often as possible. I've been known to say "quit the gym". Why? The commute. The fluorescent lights. No sunlight exposure or fresh air. The TV / news overload. The lack of motivation. I can go on!
Did you ever say "I don't have time for the gym" and then just quit working out?
My goal is to teach you how to be able to get a great workout anywhere, any time with what ever resources are available. Break free from the reliance on a gym, equipment and technology.
I never considered things like "painting my house", "walking the dog" or "hiking with my kid" to be forms of beneficial exercise. But it is! Move your body how you prefer to, just move it more often and sometimes add resistance!
When you live the life that I hope to teach you about, performing physical movement becomes effortlessly integrated not forced and dreaded.
