Facts: It’s been scientifically proven that we feel our best throughout the day when we start our mornings with some type of movement.₁ Physical activity in the morning releases endorphins, which set a positive tone for the entire day and put you in a better mood to tackle your to-do list. Plus, it's a great way to wake up your muscles and shake off any lingering sleepiness! We like to switch it up daily, setting aside just enough time for a 10min quickie sculpt class some mornings and committing to a 30 minute full body class on others. If you’re not feeling up for it, save the workout for later in the day…or check out our top motivation tips. Even if it’s just a 10min class, you're building a new habit that will set the stage for feeling energized in the A.M.

Morning coffee: It’s a classic for a reason. While we’ll often make a quick cup at home, our favorite way to get a caffeine fix is to walk to one of our local coffee shops—or you can put yours in a travel mug to go. There’s something we love about a morning coffee stroll outside, moving our bodies a little bit and taking an early-morning walk in our neighborhood or nature. Whether or not you add the walking part to your routine, taking a few minutes to enjoy the process of making yourself a special beverage each morning can be a great way to take some time to yourself before the hustle and bustle of the day sets in. Starting the day off with a treat is a win in our book.
