Are you struggling to find the motivation to start your day?
Do you feel like you’re stuck in a rut and can’t seem to break out?
If so, you need to start doing morning workout.
One of the reasons for our bodies being lethargic during the day is not the lack of strength, energy or focus.
But it is the lack of coordination between our brains and all the deeper muscles in our body.
This is because that morning shower and coffee only wake up our brains, but the neuromuscular connections connecting our tendons, joints and deeper muscles with our brains are still in slumber!
To activate neuromuscular connections, enhancing energy and responsiveness – Just a focused 15-minute workout session is sufficient!
Best Morning Exercises Recommended by Experts
Yoga
If you have the time, yoga can be a great way to start your day. It’s a low-impact exercise that will help improve your flexibility, mobility, and strength. You can start with basic rotation movements beginning with your neck. A simple routine could be as follows – neck rotation, shoulder rotation, hip rotation and knee rotation.
Squats
We just cannot recommend squats enough! They work up the entire chain of muscles right from our ankles to our necks, benefiting across the entire body chain and making it easier for you to maintain that correct posture throughout the day.
Walking
This is the simplest way to get your body moving and your blood flowing in the morning. A brisk 10-minute walk will do the trick, and it’s a great way to clear your head and before getting down to business. And warm up your body before starting your morning exercises.
HIIT activities
High-intensity interval training, or HIIT, alternates between intense bursts of activity and short periods of rest. HIIT can be a great way to mobilize your entire body and fully awaken your central nervous system which is responsible for supporting all your mental and physical efforts throughout the rest of the day!
Push-ups
It needs no introduction.
But one common mistake when doing push-ups is to arch the back, which takes the pressure off of the chest and places it on the lower back. This can lead to back pain. So be aware of your posture here!
Stretching
Take a few minutes to stretch your muscles before getting started with your day. This will help reduce stiffness and soreness, and it will also help increase your range of motion.
