As an advocate of realistic, fresh, and innovative approaches to health and beauty, it's no secret that internal and external wellness is a priority on all fronts in Heather's life, with an emphasis on her morning routine.

The very first thing Heather does in the morning is 'put on her workout clothes because then there is just no excuse[...] you're working out.'

Now, whether you're working out on the best treadmill or go for the best rowing machine is up to you.

The one tip Heather has? Working out first thing in the day because she prefers to 'cardio fast, which is basically working out on an empty stomach, so you're using glycogen storage and your fat storage instead of the food you ate.'

And, when it's time to refuel? Her breakfast time is contingent on a handful of products that work wonders inside-and-out.

Check out her complete list of miracle workers below.

In The Dubrow Diet (opens in new tab), Orange County’s favorite reality TV couple shares the diet and exercise plan they created to end their decades-long yo-yo dieting and flip on what they call the “ageless switch.”

The central concept is called interval eating, a practice based on research showing that when you eat is perhaps the most important factor in weight loss and weight control. With interval eating, the Dubrows will introduce you to a simple eating schedule that can help you.
