Struggling with this one also. My plan is : march in place, situps, squats, plank 30 secs, leg curls, cross punches and step jacks. It is around 8 mins and it gets me to just start sweating.
I like to get in some slower exercise first like stretching (yoga, Pilates etc). Ideally I’d like to start putting my running in the AM, sometimes I do my strength training in the morning, but I always count it if I can simply get my whole body moving, feeling some tension release and some burn!
Cardio and strength training. Try different exercises that work for you and your body. Be sure to stretch first to open up your muscles and get them ready for your workout.
You can do running , gymnastics or stretching if you want you can wake up and go for a walk or even with a dog , if you don’t have one you can borrow someone’s
You can do simple exercises like jumping jacks, stretching, and maybe even do some yoga. For me, I dance instead of exercising. You don’t need any talent to dance, just play around 3-4 songs from your playlist each morning and dance with the rhythm, and you’ll be energised for the day. Make sure you’re alone though, you wanna make sure you go all out to dance instead of just grooving to the music because you’re too shy to dance in front of others. If dancing isn’t possible, you can do stretches, like slowly stretching your hamstrings, or you can simply download any workout app you like and follow according to the routine from the app. I’m currently using this workout app called BetterMe, it’s completely free to download and you don’t necessarily have to pay money to exercise in the app. It has guides to teach you how to do each exercise, and trains your body. It’s good you’re thinking of exercising in the morning, it’s really good for the rest of your day and boosts your basal metabolism. I wish you good luck in your exercise!
Honestly I just try to get my feet on the floor and out the door and go for a 10 minute walk. Just getting some movement and feels really good
Pushups, start jumps, sit-ups. Do as many reps as you can but don’t over do it (e.g. 3 sets of 15 reps instead of 10 sets of 10 reps) that could have negative results.
I like to do short morning yoga because I have the problem of being achy all the time. The guided routines give me a chance to stretch and breathe. If you have a pet l, morning could be a wonderful time to go on a short walk together too. Or go the Japanese route and do some guided calisthetics. Those are good for the meme.
Burpees are great for full body exercise, you can adjust the intensity to suit you and there are variations for you fitness level
I’ve found Yoga is the easiest. It can be a short 5 minute wakeup, a relaxing 15 minute stretch, or 30 minutes of yoga for weight loss. I usually stick to the 15 minutes.
