Morning wellness routine

Ultimately, you have to identify what works best for you as everyones body is different. However, whatever time you arise, these steps will set you up for your day

6:45 Awake

6:45 Get dressed in your gym kit, have a pint of water, brush teeth, face wash

7:00 Arrive at gym, 3x a week do cardio, 3x a week do weights for 45 minutes. Cool down with a 20 min pilates class to help stretch, incorporating mindfulness and meditation into your day

Cardio for me is a combination of running, a HIIT class (I do Blaze classes at David Lloyd) and spin (I hate spin so do a Rhythm class like soul cycle where you dance on the bike)

For weights I have a PT once a week, and my fiancé helps me do arms, legs and shoulders on the other days.

8:15 Arrive back from gym, shower.

8:30 Log onto work. Set your priorities for the day

10:00/11:00 Breakfast

Midday: Walk, the fresh air helps clear your mind, ready for the afternoon

Lunch: I have chicken, lettuce, tomato and cucumber in sourdough

Evening:

As a bonus an evening routine sets you up for your next day, having picked out your clothes for the next day and got ready for bed:

21:00 get into bed, journal what’s been good about the day, what you’re grateful for. Reflect on what you’ve eaten, what you’ve spent, what exercise you’ve done. What you hope to achieve the next day
