Do you often find yourself turning to coffee every single morning to wake yourself up? Or even drinking few more cups of coffee as the day passes just to keep yourself awake? Well, coffee is no doubt the fastest way to perk you up. However, it often ends up leaving you super tired and sleepy after the caffeine wears off.

Why not turn to something healthier? While you may not want to spare the time, these 9 actions are guaranteed to keep you awake and sober all day. Try them out first on weekend mornings and you may just get into the habit of doing them on weekday mornings. This workout by Rebecca Louise might just be your thing.

Perform each action 12 times.

Action 1: 

Stand with your legs wide open with one leg at the back and one in front. Bring your leg at the back down to the ground and bend your front knee. Ensure that your back is straight.

Action 2:

Do a wide squat and put your fingers together in front of you. Then stretch from one side to the other, making sure that your leg is straight and the other is bent.

Action 3:

Support yourself on one arm and hold the other arm up. Then bring your leg forward and back while keeping it straight. Repeat on the other leg by changing your position.

Action 4:

Lie down on your side and hold yourself up with one arm. Make a circle to the front with your legs, big circles, then circles to the back. Change position and repeat with other leg.

Action 5:

Do a star jump.

Action 6:

Lie on your back with your legs together up in the air. Then split your legs like a scissors. Keep your knees straight and go as high as possible.

Action 7:

Pull yourself into plank position, then dip down and stretch out. Use your toes to support your weight.

Action 8:

Do a curtsy lunge and hold your arms out to the side. Bend with your knee almost touching the ground.

Action 9:

Lunge back. Bring your knee towards your chest. Repeat for the other leg.
