Title: Wake-up exercise workout
Post by: Amelia on January 31, 2012, 04:05:41 pm
This exercise workout sequence will take you just a few minutes – perform it on waking to start your day feeling energised.

1. Before you even get out of bed, take a few deep breaths and have a stretch, right from the tips of the fingers to the toes.

2. Now draw your knees into your chest and hug them. Drop your knees down to the left-hand side, taking your head over to the right; take a breath here, and as you exhale, bring the knees back through centre and drop them to the right, taking the head to the left.

Simple stretching is fine, the rest were so complicated that I didn't ever bother.

But those few moves are a good way to start up your system.  :)

Yep.

Drinking water before and after sleep is highly beneficial as well. :)
