There is no such thing as the perfect morning routine to achieve your goals; everyone is different. But you must define a morning routine if you want to be healthy, productive, and be ready to face the day.
Over the last few years, I’ve learned that small, consistent habits in the morning can make a huge difference in how I feel, how I perform at work, and how I show up in life in general.
My personal morning routine is simple, effective, and easy to follow (it doesn’t mean you should follow it step-by-step, but at least get inspired to design your own), and you don’t need complicated systems or hours to get ready. Just a few smart steps can transform the way you start your day.
I usually wake up at the same time every weekday, between 7:00 and 7:15 am (I aim for about 7 hours of sleep). On weekends, I let myself stay in a little longer, and I wake up around 8:00 to 8:15 am.
1. Track Your Progress with a Smart Scale
The first thing I do after waking up and heading to the bathroom is step on my smart scale. I like to track my weight, BMI, body fat, and muscle mass. This doesn’t mean I obsess over the numbers, but it helps me stay accountable and see trends over time. I don’t count the calories I eat; I try to eat consciously. However, sometimes I get off track (I am on the road most of the time, so I eat out a lot), so these numbers help me readjust my eating habits and workout plans to I can maintain my healthy parameters.
👉 Recommended tool: A good smart scale can make this step easy and accurate. It’s a small investment that keeps you focused on your goals.

2. Hydration Before Anything Else
After weighing myself, I always drink a glass of water. Overnight, we lose water while we sleep, and the body needs to rehydrate first thing in the morning. Not coffee. Not juice. Just a simple glass of water. (Tip: keep a bottle of water in your room so you don’t forget to take it).
It’s the easiest way to wake up your body, get your digestion moving, and feel refreshed. And with my glass of water, I also take my daily vitamin D. We spend so little time in the sun, and this essential vitamin helps us with energy, immunity, and overall health.
👉 Recommended supplement: A high-quality Vitamin D capsule can be a game-changer, especially during the colder months.
3. Morning Workout Routine
After hydration, it’s time to move my body and make my muscles work. My workouts are flexible. I usually don’t follow a strict plan, but I follow a simple rule:
Upper Body ➜ Lower Body ➜ Core ➜ HIIT ➜ Rest ➜ Repeat the cycle
- On regular days, I do a simple 10-15 minute workout that gets my blood flowing and my muscles activated.
- If I feel energized and have extra time, I’ll push harder with a more intense 20-30 minute session.
It doesn’t matter if it’s short or long; what matters is to stay consistent.
👉 Tip: A 10–15 minute workout can change the way you feel for the rest of the day, and over time will change your physique.
4. Post-Workout Shower and Skincare
After my workout, I head straight to the shower. Most days, I prefer a cold shower; it makes me feel more awake and boosts my energy. Cold exposure also improves overall blood flow, helps reduce inflammation, and strengthens immunity. But during the cold winter days, I go for a lukewarm shower for comfort (hey, I am human).
Either way, it’s a ritual that marks the transition from “workout mode” to “ready to face the day mode.”
After my shower, I always take a minute for skin care. I usually apply a lightweight face moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated and fresh throughout the day. But if I know I am spending most of my day outside, I switch to an SPF moisturizer. It’s a simple step, but it makes a big difference. A good moisturizer not only prevents dryness but also helps your skin look healthy and feel smooth.
👉 If you’re looking for a solid daily moisturizer, these are my personal favorites.
5. Breakfast: My Favorite Meal of the Day
After a good workout and a “wake-up” shower, I am usually starving. If I am heading out to meet clients, I usually grab a chia seed pudding, overnight oats, or a peanut butter sandwich and a cup of coffee. But if I’m working from home, then I will make something special and fulfilling.
Some of my favorites are:
– Banana and oats pancakes
– Fried egg on avocado toast with chili oil
– Greek yogurt bowl with fresh fruit and nuts
– Scramble eggs with avocado slices and fresh fruit
No matter if I am working from home or going out, there is one thing that is always present: a fresh cup of black coffee! I just love the smell and taste of a freshly brewed cup of coffee in the morning.
Every other day, I also add 12–15 grams of unflavored collagen powder to my coffee. It’s great for joint health, skin, and recovery.
👉 Recommended products: A good quality collagen powder and a pour-over coffee maker are staples in my kitchen.
Final Thoughts
This is my morning routine, nothing fancy, but it’s consistent and meaningful (at least to me). It gives me energy, focus, and a clear mindset to take on whatever the day brings, whether I’m working from home or out meeting clients.
Your morning doesn’t have to look like mine. What matters is finding small habits that help you feel your best. Start with just one thing, like drinking a glass of water, a short stretch, or a healthy breakfast. Then build from there.
Over time, those simple choices become powerful rituals that will shape your days, and eventually, your life.
So start tomorrow with intention. Design a morning routine that makes you feel strong, centered, and ready for anything.
