The first thing i would suggest is to do some stretching as soon as you wake up in the bed itself, which will make you feel better and more awake. You can follow it up with a few pushups and squats after getting of the bed. This much would be good enough to get started. Once this becomes a habit. You can experiment and be creative.
Move around deliberately. Slowly get your heart rate up. Don’t jump around - that’s too much when you first wake up. Take a moderate pace walk and stretch once your muscles are warm.
Stretching has always done the trick for me. Sometime I also stand on my toes whilst in the shower to really try to get rid of the slowness
Absolutely. If you know martial arts or are learning morning is a perfect time to stretch and go through all the katas you know.
I do yoga after waking up (Yoga with Adriene on Youtube) and it has really helped me to start easing into the day amd transitioning from sleep to wakefulness. I used to do Jiu Jitsu so I do think that martial arts would also maybe help because it can be so intense, but I would personally find it hard to do immediately after waking up. It could also wear you out before the day really starts.
I like to exercise on the Rebounder. It’s easy to start, gets the circulation going, exercises the whole body, and is fun! I like to put on a favorite tune and boogie! It feels good!
Dance dance dance!!! Put on a song and dance it out for a song ...or 2 if you’re feeling it 💃🏻✨ Tap tap tap!!! Tap into to ancient wisdom of qi gong and the practice of tapping on the meridians to move energy. 🙏🏻✨💎 Stop drop and shake it!! Shimmy shake and shuffle. Shaking every part of your body either strategically from the ground up (shaking the feet first and then making your way up) or just free for shake yo shit! 🙌
The best exercise especially in the morning is definitely either skipping rope or jumping on a mini trampoline, this will help the fluid in the lymphatic system to start moving and this assists with lymphatic drainage. Getting those fluids moving also helps with the bodies natural detox process. Start-off small play your favourite dance like no-one is watching song and jump to it, you can increase your time every week by adding another song.
I think it will be great to do so. I myself am a green belt im taekwondo. I do want to improve my flexibility and kicks. But I fail to do such a thing as things I’m the morning after waking up. Because it takes warm up and stretching to do martial arts and stretching just doesn’t give me the energetic vide in the morning. The idea of going through a process of warming up and stretching just to practice martial arts makes me choose sleeping most often. So to get rid of sleepiness I think doing some jumping jacks or crunches is ideal. It looks pretty doable in the morning. After all who doesn’t like the idea of improving their abs in the morning ? It can also keep people apart from eating unhealthy foods in the morning as most of them won’t want their efforts go in vain.
Stretch your body in bed then after getting out of bed you shake off your body like you geting something off
