Revitalize Your Morning Routine
The way you start your morning impacts the quality of your day. If you start out feeling stressed and anxious rather than rejuvenated, it may be a sign that you need to update your morning routine. Finding a routine that works for you can provide the boost you need to conquer the day ahead.
Follow these quick tips to make the most out of your mornings:
Eat a Healthy Breakfast
Eating a good breakfast in the morning is essential to a healthy morning routine. For a perfectly balanced and delicious breakfast on-the-go, mix three scoops of SLMsmart Health Shake into 10 oz. of milk or water. When you skip breakfast, your body reacts by conserving energy and slowing down your metabolism which causes you to have less energy throughout the day. Each person has different caloric needs, but it is important to eat something when starting out your day. Good examples of healthy breakfast items are oatmeal with cinnamon, yogurt with berries, or whole grain toast and fruit.
Start the Day with Exercise
First things first. Before beginning your morning exercise routine, rev up with ProArgi-9+ or e9. And remember, you don’t have to go for a 5-mile run every morning to boost your energy levels. Start the morning with 20 minutes of yoga or take a quick walk around your neighborhood is all your body needs to re-energize upon waking from a good night’s sleep. Yoga is especially beneficial because it gets your heart rate up while simultaneously improving your flexibility, posture, balance, muscle tone, and endurance. Yoga is accessible to everyone, and with various levels of difficulty, everyone can find a yoga routine that works for them.
Read or Write
Before the busy rush of your day begins, sit down for a few minutes and write your thoughts and goals in a journal. Journal writing can help unload some of your stresses and ease your mind. Writing for just 10 minutes in the morning can help you focus on yourself, create self-awareness, and give you the opportunity to think about how you can best capitalize on your day.
If you don’t feel like writing, take a few minutes to read the news or a few pages of a good book. Immerse yourself in the words of others and enjoy this peaceful time alone to jump-start your brain before you start your day.
Follow a Schedule
Following a morning schedule can help you maintain organization and focus. Perhaps you start with a quick walk outside, then take a shower and get ready, followed by a healthy breakfast before leaving to work. The important thing about a routine isn’t necessarily the order in which you do things, but rather defining and keeping that order to streamline your mornings and start the day with productive habits.

She’s a world champion, a world record holder, and an osteopath. Proudly sporting a Synergy logo on her windsurfing sail, she is also Synergy’s newest sponsored athlete who not only uses Synergy products, but shares them with her patients at her medical practice in England.
In May 2016, at almost 50 years old, Zara snagged her first-ever world championship title in women’s speed windsurfing while competing at the Dunkerbeck GPS Speed Challenge in Fuerteventura. She not only beat out all of the other women in the competition, but recorded a better time than more than half of the men. Zara is also a six-time Europe speed windsurfing champion and is known by many as “the fastest woman on water” with the world records in the speed windsurfing mile at 34.74 knots and held the 500m world record at 45.83 knots (53mph).
“The physics of windsurfing is quite a geeky thing,” Zara said. “The only bit you are sailing on is the back of the board and fin, executing in a speed windsurfing race, especially, requires you to be fit and strong and bold.”
Thanks to everyone who participated in Synergy’s 2016 SLMsmart Challenge! Enthusiastic men and women across North America set their sights on achieving healthy transformation using powerful products and nutritious foods. With money and prizes on the line, these participants experienced a 90-day journey meant to inspire life-long habits and maintainable weight management.
Living not far from Synergy HQ in Utah, Trevor participated in the Challenge, hoping to find the success he hadn’t found elsewhere. Trevor had sampled more than a handful of diets throughout his lifetime, and found most to be unrealistic, discouraging, and too drastic for his lifestyle. Now, using Synergy products, and with the help of coach Tommy Bethards, Trevor achieved over 60 pounds of weight loss (20% of his starting body weight!), progress that he plans to maintain and improve upon going forward. Congratulations to Trevor on his new physique, his $250 prize, and his overall success as a SLMsmart Challenger.
The California sun shined on Kevin over the past 90-days as he exercised, ate smart and worked toward transformation. “What a life changing experience,” said Kevin. “Great products, coaching, and work-outs.” These led Kevin to lose 34 pounds (16% of his total body weight).
With a contagious smile and a voice that sounds strikingly similar to Matthew McConaughey, Eric Poland of Kentucky has won the top prize in this year’s SLMsmart Challenge. He lost 40 pounds, 20% of his body weight and about 7 inches from his waist. What makes Eric’s story all the more interesting is that he also competed in last year’s SLMsmart Challenge and lost 20 pounds then! Unsatisfied with last year’s results, and knowing that he could do better, Eric made this second effort and gave it his all. Truly a smart decision!
