Michael Phelps: This morning routine helps him be 'a better dad, a better husband, a harder worker' via CNBCMakeIt
The daily routines of some of the world's most successful people — from Richard Branson to Oprah Winfrey — include a morning workout. And Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps is no exception. In fact, the star athlete says exercise helps him be more successful.
Though Phelps has retired from swimming, he's still incredibly busy as an entrepreneur. So when he's on the road,"it's workout first thing in the morning," Phelps tells CNBC Make It while in New York City promoting his role as global ambassador for Colgate's Save Water campaign, which aims to spread the message of water conservation with small, behavioral changes such as turning off the faucet when brushing your teeth.
"I try to do different things that I didn't do throughout my career, so I don't get bored," he says."That's one thing I always have to change."
