Kickstart Your Day: A Morning Fitness Routine

Hydration

After 7-8 hours of sleep, your body is dehydrated. Before you reach for coffee, reach for water.

• Start your day with a big glass (500ml-1L) of water
• Add a pinch of sea salt or lemon for electrolytes and taste
• Proper hydration means better focus, digestion and energy

Fuel Your Day Right

Fuel your body like it deserves. Breakfast sets your metabolism for the day.

• Add complex carbs such as oats, whole grain toast and fruit
• Include healthy fats like nuts, seeds and avocado
• Include protein such as eggs, yogurt, protein oats or a smoothie

Set 3 Goals For The Day

Athletes don’t start their day without a plan and neither should you.

• Choose 1 physical goal (E.g. train, hit steps, stretch, etc)
• Choose 1 mental goal (E.g. gratitude, mindfulness, focus, etc)
• Choose 1 lifestyle goal (E.g. meal prep, sleep early, hydration, etc)

Stretch Or Walk For 5-10 Minutes

A short burst of movement wakes up your muscles and your mind. You don’t need a full workout, just move.

• 5 minutes of dynamic stretches
• A short walk outdoors
• A few rounds of bodyweight exercises (E.g. squats, push ups, planks, etc). This kickstarts circulation and reduces morning stiffness
