Right after waking, the body slowly activates its internal systems and gets you ready to face the day ahead. – The same way a pilot runs through pre-flight procedures before lifting a plane off the ground.
To make your wake-up routine as effective as possible, experts suggest adding a short morning workout. First, it helps you shake off grogginess faster. Second, it speeds up your metabolism, allowing you to burn 20% more calories over the course of the day. And third, it keeps your muscles firm and healthy. These three benefits alone should be reason enough to set aside just 15 minutes for a gentle morning session.
Morning exercise number 1.
You can knock out this ten-minute routine without even leaving your bed, still dressed in your pajamas!
Morning exercise number 2.
Morning exercise number 3.
A nice bonus – it can be performed right on your mattress, as long as you own a sturdy, firm one.
Morning exercise number 4.
A morning stretching sequence that softly wakes up and elongates every muscle in the body. It's specially put together so you don't even have to climb out of bed.
Morning exercise number 5.
Every morning deserves a bright beginning, so don't give in to laziness – get up and start moving actively toward a brand new day!
