Great Ways to Kickstart Your Mornings

Morning routines are a great start to a healthy lifestyle but some people are not "morning people," myself included. So today's post is dedicated to those people who need aren't ready to start dead-lifting and counting reps at 8 am sharp.

Each of these workouts and recipes I have personally done and highly recommend. I have received great results and happy taste buds as well. Healthy food can taste good too!

A helpful workout to wake up in the morning that will really get your heart pumping and jumpstart your metabolism is: Cardio. Many people are frightened by the word and automatically think of sprinting or running long distances until your legs feel like jello but fear not, for these workouts simple to customize to any level you may be at.



































































One breakfast that I highly recommend to accompany a morning workout are these whole wheat oatmeal pancakes. It is extremely important to refuel your body with nutrients to have enough energy to keep going throughout your day. These pancakes are easy to make, are not dry or boring AND you can add any ingredients to add new flavors such as your favorite fruit, nuts, or chocolate!


Recipe:

1 cup (123g) whole wheat flour (or white whole-wheat)
1/2 cup (40g) quick oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg (or 2 egg whites)
1 cup (240ml) milk *almost milk, soy milk, silk milk all work
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar (or light brown)
1/4 cup (63g) Greek yogurt *regular yogurt is OK
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup add-ins like chocolate chips, fruit, nuts, optional
