Do These 3 Exercises EVERY Morning!

today i'm going to be showing you three

exercises that you should be doing every

morning to kick-start your day

the morning is the most important part

of the day when you win the morning you

win the day so what we do overnight when

we are resting is actually reinforcing

tightness that we developed the day

before

if we worked out heavily the day before

we will tend to heal and shorten

overnight and we wake up stiff

so the best thing that you can do in the

morning is to do some exercising because

it activates the joints raises your body

temperature and also increases brain

function

i used to be very stiff myself in the

past but doing these exercises every

single morning helped me a lot to get

loose and more flexible so let's get

into the first exercise and make sure to

watch the video till the end for a

weekly giveaway so the first exercise is

the child's pose 2 downward facing dog

in my opinion is the best wake up

exercise i like this combination of an

exercise a lot because it helps to both

open up your shoulders in the child's

pose but also eliminates tightness

across your whole body in the downward

facing dog for example tightness in your

lats obliques hamstrings and gaffs so

when doing this exercise make sure to

first extend your arms as far as

possible and then bring your shoulders

as close to the floor as possible

in the child's pose you can also add

some rotations from left to right to

mobilize your lats and spine as well

then from here push up to the downward

facing dog position

try to move your armpits towards your

toes

also in this position you can add

rotations and shoulder movements to

activate the muscles around your

shoulder blades try to loosen up your

hamstrings and calves by straightening

out one leg at a time

alternate a few times from left to right

until they feel more loose

repeat this flow for about five reps in

total the second exercise is going to be

a hip flexor opening stretch exercise

when we lay in our beds at night a lot

of times you lay on your side and pull

your knees up and squeeze your legs

together

therefore you are getting hip flexor and

abductor tightness

so we want to fix this straight away

when you wake up one of the best

exercises is the active lunge stretch

combined with the lizard pose i've been

doing this exercise myself so much and

it really helped me out so with this

exercise bring one leg forward and put

your hands on the floor so you bring

yourself in a forward lunge position

from here you lift your knee from the

ground by pushing your heel back as far

as you can

really focus on squeezing your glutes

together while pushing your hip towards

the ground if you do this correctly you

will feel your hip flexor opening up

really good repeat for five reps and on

the last rep hold for 10 seconds and

while you do this exercise stay upright

by keeping your chest up the more

upright you are the more stretch you're

getting over that hip flexor when you

finish your 10 second hold move on to

the lizard pose by dropping down on your

elbows you will feel the stretch on the

abductor inside the leg and also on the

glutes

hold this position for 20 seconds and

repeat on the other leg as well

the last exercise is a back bending

exercise it's great to involve a counter

stretch in the morning to stretch your

posterior chain and especially the spine

again most of us when we lay in bed we

either lay on our belly or on our sides

in both of these positions the spine

tightens so therefore it would be good

to use a counter back bending stretch to

open up so once you start out with back

bending you first can start off with a

camel pose stretch

just start off by bringing your hands on

your lower back and pushing your hips

forward

to make the stretch greater you can try

to place your hands on your calves but

make sure to bring your chest up at all

times and bend from your upper back

first and then from your lower back to

make this exercise a bit more

challenging you can move into a little

thunderbolt

then into a half bridge

until you can do the full bridge

pick a stretch that suits your current

flexibility and be careful with your

spine don't rush through it hold each

stretch for 30 seconds that last stretch

the full bridge is in my opinion the

perfect way to kick start your day

completely upside down so these were the

three stretches that you should be doing

every morning to kick-start your day

next to activating your joints and

increasing mobility they also help to

improve your mood

increase energy levels throughout the

day and enhance your metabolism
