Evening plans get cancelled by work, calls and family. A short morning routine is far more likely to happen.
Here is one you can share.
- Wake up: 30 minutes earlier, with the alarm across the room.
- Routine: five minutes warm-up, 20 minutes workout, five minutes stretch.
- Breakfast: protein within an hour.
- Sleep: an earlier bedtime makes it possible.
Make the Wake-Up Easy
Prepare the night before.
- Lay out workout clothes
- Put water by the bed
- Agree on a wake-up time together
- Go to bed 30 minutes earlier
The 30-Minute Session
Do five minutes of mobility, then three rounds of squats, push-ups, rows or band pulls and a plank, and finish with five minutes of stretching.
A Protein-Rich Breakfast for Two
After training, eat within an hour.
- Eggs or paneer bhurji with toast
- Moong dal chilla with curd
- Oats with milk, fruit and nuts
- Sprouts salad with a boiled egg or paneer
When Mornings Do Not Work
If you are not a morning person, do a 15-minute version or move it to lunch or after work. The best time is the one you both keep.
Keep it simple, do it together and adjust for each person. If either of you has a health condition, speak to your doctor first.
