The morning routine of a fit girly

by Bronte Holding

How you start your morning sets the tone for your entire day. Building a solid morning routine will help you start your day with momentum and create healthy habits that support your goals! 

But let’s be clear - there is no one ‘perfect’ morning routine, and how you start your day will depend on your time availability, commitments, and schedule. First and foremost, your routine should be realistic for you and be something you actually enjoy so that you can maintain it long-term! 

Here’s a breakdown of the ultimate fit girl morning routine to inspire you, and help you create your own! 

 

 

1. Wake up with intention

The first step is creating a wake-up routine that feels good for you. We are not hitting snooze 10 times!

  • Wake-up tip: Set your alarm for the same time every day (yes, even on weekends) to build consistency.

  • Pro move: Open the blinds or step outside for natural light—it helps regulate your circadian rhythm and boosts energy.

 

 

2. Hydrate first thing

After hours of sleep, your body is dehydrated. Starting your day with water is an easy win.

  • Why it matters: Hydration supports digestion, energy levels, and muscle recovery.

  • Pro move: Add a slice of lemon or a pinch of pink salt for extra electrolytes.

 

 

3. Move your body

Fit girls know that movement in the morning doesn’t have to mean a full-on gym session—it’s about waking up your body.

  • Options:

    • Stretch or do yoga to loosen tight muscles.

    • Go for a quick walk or jog to boost endorphins.

    • Hit the gym for strength training or a morning sweat session.

  • Pro move: Prep your workout gear the night before to eliminate excuses.

 

 

4. Fuel up the right way

A nutritious breakfast fuels your workouts and keeps you focused throughout the day.

  • Fit firl favorites:

    • High-protein smoothies with fruit, spinach, and nut butter.

    • Overnight oats topped with chia seeds and berries.

    • Avocado toast with eggs for a balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fats.

  • Pro move: Don’t skip breakfast! Even if it’s small, something is better than running on empty.

 

 

5. Set intentions or journal

Fit girls prioritise their mindset just as much as their physical health. Taking a few minutes to set intentions or journal can make a huge difference.

  • Why it matters: Writing down your goals helps you stay focused and motivated.

  • Pro move: Use a journal prompt like, “What’s one thing I want to accomplish today for my health?”

 

 

6. Plan your day

A fit girl thrives on structure. Use your morning to map out your day, including your workouts, meals, and self-care time.

  • Tools: A planner, calendar app, or even a simple to-do list.

  • Pro move: Block out time for your workout like it’s a meeting you can’t miss.

 

 

7. Prioritise protein & supplements

If you’re hitting the gym or staying active, protein is key for recovery. Plus, supplements can give your body extra support.

  • Supplements to consider:

    • Protein powder for shakes.

    • Multivitamin or greens powder if you're not eating enough fruit/veggies

    • Vitamin D or omega-3s for overall health.

    • Magnesium for muscle recovery 

  • Pro Move: Lay everything out the night before, so you don’t forget in the morning rush.

 

 

8. Keep it realistic

You don’t need to wake up at 5 a.m. or spend hours on a complicated routine. A fit girl’s morning is about quality, not quantity.

  • Pro move: Start small—add one or two habits at a time until you build a routine that works for you.

 

 

Why a morning routine matters 

Mornings aren’t just a time to get things done—they’re an opportunity to set yourself up for a successful day. By building intentional habits, you’ll feel more energised, focused, and in control of your fitness journey.

The best part? Your routine is yours. There’s no “perfect” way to do it. Experiment, find what works for you, and own your mornings like the fit girl you are!
