I start with stretching exercises. I take chlorella, spirulina, multivitamines, extra magnesium, zink and vit c. That usually makes me feel good enough.

Stretching is a great morning exercise because it's light stuff. I am pretty dumbfounded (but not surprised) by how many people here are suggesting half or an hour of heavy exercise to wake up. Man, you're already feeling groggy (tired) and you just go exert yourself more to start the day? 3/10 would not recommend unless it really works to you
Stupid people seem to think that just because they got their adrenalin pumping then they're not tired anymore and that's just not how it works. The medicine for being tired is rest, not even more exercise. Of course, you may feel less tired but it's a chemical high/trick - just as if you'd take a lot of coffee or energy drinks - it's not really healthy to fool yourself.
I mean exercise is great and all, and some people do prefer it in the morning but you have to be careful not to transform this into a vicious cycle where you wake up tired, exercise even more to "get some energy" and then by the end of the day you're even more tired because you haven't allowed yourself to rest for the entire day.
