As a fitness enthusiast, there are some basic routines that promote a healthy lifestyle. They also keep you motivated to exercise daily.

Drink Water

The best thing you can do after waking up is drinking water. It starts off your metabolism while hydrating you at the same time. It also makes it easier for your body to expel harmful toxins. It fuels the brain and helps your body get more nutrients from the foods you eat.

Morning Workout

Exercise strengthens the mind and body. Working out in the morning improves mental performance and stimulates your metabolism to help you burn more calories during the day.

Eat Healthily

Eat smaller portions because larger meals have more calories. Include sweet fruits such as oranges, mangoes, pineapple, and grapes. When the food is more colorful, it will offer more nutrients.

It’s been a good morning so far. Calm, relaxing and a lot of tea all while helping people set goals and hearing successes. I wish all mornings were like that. 🙃 The reality most of the time is working through a lot of challenges and learning to not just motivate people around me, but also to motivate myself. What can I say, I’m human and all I want to do is lay on the couch, watch Netflix and eat a giant cinnamon bun sometimes. But knowing my potential and seeing other people’s potential is often motivating enough for me to keep pushing forward and working hard on my own goals, but helping other people do the same. 👯‍♀️ . Simple Cinnamon Overnight Oats 1/2 cup rolled oats 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flax seeds Pinch of cinnamon Pinch of salt 3/4 cup unsweetened plant milk (I used almond milk) 1 mashed banana . Combine all ingredients except for banana together and set overnight in the fridge. Whenever you are ready to serve in the morning, mash a banana into it and top with your favorite fruit and eat it. 👏🏽Toppings today include local blueberries, strawberries, leftover banana slices, the sweetest mango, matcha and hemp seeds. 🥣

Walk all the Time

When you can, walk. If you don’t exercise often, you should walk often. It’s an easy, low impact way to burn some calories. You can lose up to ten pounds monthly by eating healthy and walking.

Sleep Well

Sleep is important for a healthy life. Consistent sleep is even more important. Lack of sleep throws your metabolism off track. Sleep is also necessary for proper immune function. You won’t enjoy working out if you fall sick all the time. So you should strengthen your immune system by sleeping well.
