10 Minute Morning Workout To Start Your Day

Do you wake up feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by an endless to-do list before your workday even starts? If so, it might be time to adopt a better morning routine. A simple adjustment—like getting up ten minutes earlier—could unlock your highest potential. Many habits that contribute to success take far less time than you think, and today’s routine is a perfect example!

For many, mornings can feel chaotic: waking up, getting ready, managing kids, pets, and breakfast, all while trying not to forget anything important. The good news? Taking just 10 minutes for yourself to prioritize fitness and reduce stress can make your day far more productive and enjoyable.

We suggest a quick, 10-minute morning routine to start your day right. This routine can complement a full fitness program or stand on its own. Aim to complete it five times a week for best results.

10-Minute Morning Routine

  1. Child’s Pose (1 minute): Get on the ground and stretch in Child’s Pose. Take four 10-second deep breaths with five-second exhales.
  2. Cobra Pose (1 minute): Transition to Cobra Pose. Take another set of four 10-second deep breaths with five-second exhales.
  3. Push-ups (1 minute): Perform as many push-ups as you can in one minute. Modify if necessary.
  4. Plank (1 minute): Hold a plank position, keeping your core engaged.
  5. Squats (1 minute): Complete as many bodyweight squats as possible.
  6. Set Intentions (1 minute): Take a break and focus on three tasks that will bring you closer to your long-term goals. For example:
    • Invest $100.
    • Attend a training session.
    • Ensure your kids finish their homework. This helps you prioritize wealth, health, and family success.
  7. Push-ups (1 minute): Repeat another round of push-ups.
  8. Plank (1 minute): Hold another plank.
  9. Squats (1 minute): Complete another set of squats.
  10. Jumping Jacks (1 minute): End with a burst of energy by performing jumping jacks.
