Are you looking for an effective way to start your morning with a boost to your overall mood and well-being? A morning exercise routine might be just what you need. In just 20-30 minutes you can elevate your mood, increase your energy levels, and set the tone for a productive day.
Follow this simple and efficient exercise routine to start your mornings right:
1. Jumpstart with Cardio (10 minutes): perfect for elevating your mood and increasing circulation leading to a surge in endorphins.
- Go for a brisk walk or a jog around your neighborhood or on a treadmill
2. Strengthen your Body (5-10 minutes): strength training not only improves physical strength but also will impact your confidence to continue living an active lifestyle. Incorporate bodyweight exercises that target your major muscle groups.
- Pushups for upper body strength
- Squats for your lower body
- Planks for core stability
- Glute bridges to strengthen your glutes
3. Cool Down with Yoga/Stretching (5 minutes): to conclude your routine, wind down with a few minutes of gentle stretching and yoga poses. These can help to calm your mind, reduce stress, and increase your overall flexibility.
- Child’s pose to stretch your back and your hips
- Forward fold to release the tension in the hamstring muscles
- Cobra pose to open up the chest and shoulders
