Russian Morning Recharge Routine

By Greg Mihovich

When I just came to the US I was very surprised that few people, if any at all,
knew what I was talking about when I would mention Morning Recharge Routine
(MRR) to them. In Russia it is a very well known and popular method, especially
among athletes and military.

A simple MRR (there are more complex methods that also include visualization
and breathing exercises) consists of the following complex upon awakening:

•        A glass of water
•        Contrast shower
•        Joint Mobility Routine

Let’s break it down step by step.

A glass of water upon awakening jumpstarts your digestive system and helps
you with the bowel movement. A very good practice is to add some fresh
squeezed lemon juice and a touch of natural honey to it.

A contrast shower should include a minimum of three changes of temperature
from hot to cold (hot / cold / hot / cold / hot / cold) always finishing with the cold.
Just like weight training that shocks your muscles and nervous system to adapt
by becoming stronger, contrast shower strengthens your immune system to a
great degree.

Every time you take a hot shower your body opens up through your pores – the
cold shower closes them back, forcing the toxins out and stopping any bacterial
diseases that can get in. It also energizes you like no cup of coffee can ever do.

The Joint Mobility Routine (JMR) that follows should take all the major joints of
the body through their full range of motion. This is accomplished by rotating your
joints in every direction, as well as swinging your limbs with full amplitude. That
ensures a pain free “effortless” mobility for many years to come.

The best way to transition from the contrast shower to JMR is to skip drying out
with a towel. When performing easy to moderate intensity exercises the
evaporating water promotes a well noticeable energizing effect through some
complex electromagnetic mechanism that I cannot fully explain as I am not a
scientist. However it doesn’t stop me from enjoying that effect to its full potential.

The whole MRR should take you anywhere from fifteen to twenty five minutes. A
great investment of your time if you ask me. Driving to a local Seven Eleven and
standing in line to get a cup of coffee doesn’t even come close in terms of
amazing results it provides.

The Morning Recharge Routine is more than just a rejuvenating event. It
empowers you.

Imagine starting every day with “the right leg”, taking care of yourself and feeling
like a million dollars. No matter what do you do in life it will make you a better
man for that day. If done everyday it will change your life into a positive stream full
of energy, happiness, health and creativity.

After a while it will become a ritual of success. Your body is your temple and if
taken care of properly gives back a gift of health and happiness.

A biological part of being happy is the right mix of hormones, a cocktail, if you
wish. The Morning Recharge Routine makes your hypothalamus to work in the
optimum regime, producing hormones of happiness, forever changing you into a
life-loving, vibrant individual.

Imagine starting every morning with a feeling of happiness, where it can bring
you?!

To summarize:

Start your morning with a ritual of success – a glass of water with a touch of
lemon and honey, contrast shower and a Joint Mobility Routine!
