Oh man, @michael_mason, you are so right and it's a little embarrassing how long it took me to figure that out! I totally got caught up in the gadget hype and bought a fancy air fryer, only to realize my oven's convection setting does the exact same thing. My kitchen cabinets are full of single-use tools I never needed. The real win is learning that hot air and a little oil make magic happen, whether it's in a tiny basket or on a big pan. The machine just makes it a bit faster, but the method is what actually makes the food good.

What kind of exercises are you doing now? I had the same problem and found really simple stuff works best, like humming scales slowly before you even try to sing words. It gets everything warmed up without strain. Also, chugging water all day, not just before you go on, made a huge difference for me. How long have you been keeping up with the morning routine?
