Best Ever Quick Morning Workout Challenge For Anyone

Looking to jumpstart your mornings? Do this Quick Morning Workout Challenge and find newfound endurance and strength! This daily challenge includes burpees, push-ups, squats, and a plank it will get your heart rate up and you ready to take on the day!

Quick Morning Workout

While doing the March Madness Fitness Challenge I decided I wanted to make a new challenge of just the four exercises that I *love* to hate but instead of making them different each day, keep them the same.

This is a great short quick morning workout to do right when you wake up, before your normal workout, or even after your regular workout. It’s an easy routine that can really impact your fitness levels with basic routine movements.

If you are a beginner this could be your only workout but for most of you, this should be done in addition to the workout you have planned for the day. We hope that is one of our workout plans! We have 4, 6, and 12-week workout plans for all fitness levels!

What is the Morning Workout Challenge?

This list of exercises is ideal for the person who wants a basic routine and to stick with the same things daily. If you just want to be able to crawl out of bed and to the same thing every day, then this is for you. All you have to do is a few stretches before and after, and you have a great addition to your regular cardio choices.

10 burpees
30-second plank

How to do a Squat

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your chest up and forward
