3 Effective Morning Exercise Routines to Energize Your Day

Starting your day with a workout is a great way to boost your energy levels and improve your overall health. Here are three effective morning exercises that you can do in just a few minutes:

1. Core work

Engaging your core is a great way to get your blood flowing and wake up your body. Try doing a few sets of crunches, planks, or leg raises. You don't need to do a lot of core work to get the benefits, just a few minutes is enough. 

2. Neck and Back Stretches 

After a night of sleep, your neck and spine can get stiff. Stretching these areas will help to improve your range of motion and reduce stiffness. Try doing some gentle neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, and cat-cow stretches.

3. Breathwork

Taking a few minutes to focus on your breath is a great way to calm your mind and energize your body. Try doing some deep breathing exercises or a short meditation.

If you're looking for a more personalized morning routine, you can work with a holistic personal trainer to design a plan that's specific to your needs and goals. A personal trainer can help you choose the right exercises and set realistic goals that align with the parts of your body that need a little more attention first thing in the morning. This can be tailored to preparing you for your job, whether you’re on your feet a lot, sitting at a desk all day, or have chronic pain that you want to mitigate flaring up throughout the day. 

No matter what type of morning routine you choose, make sure to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as you get fitter. And always listen to your body. If you're feeling pain, stop the exercise and rest.

A little effort is better than no effort and we want to help you start your day off right. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get moving!
