That boost of energy motivates me to want to workout and stretch in the morning so I\u2019ve tried to make that a routine! Working out in the morning gives us a lot more energy throughout the day and it shows us quicker results as the weeks go by! I usually do basic stretches such as the \u201cquad stretch\u201d, \u201cstanding hamstring stretch\u201d, \u201couter&#x2F;inner thigh stretch\u201d and \u201carm stretches\u201d. It only lasts for 2 min &#8211; so 20 seconds each stretch. Then I\u2019ll workout for 15 min in the morning (I follow Chloe Ting\u2019s workouts! They are easy, fun, and impactful.) After I workout I stretch again and I choose deeper stretches so that I become more flexible. Usually I do 30 sec each pose and I focus on my breathing. I also challenge myself to go as deep as I can each day. See if it works for you \u2764\ufe0f<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-2553543176\"><div id=\"thefa-1999689632\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Start making your days count<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Try now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mikkel G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I did not warm up, just body bending after wake-up.

The benefits of yoga are outstanding. No weights required. You can do it inside or outside. I will also do jumping jacks to boost heart rate<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carter E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I typically do some yoga before any kind of work outs. Stretching *is* the warm up, so I\u2019m kind of confused by your question. Perhaps, shifting your perspective may help? Stretching increases blood flow, oxygen and such to your muscles, making them warm (hence the term \u201cwarm up\u201d) thus enabling them to perform better and with less risk of injury when performing more taxing maneuvers, like running or lifting weights.<br \/>\nIf you don\u2019t  have much space, but still want to get a good cardio work out in, might I suggest jumping exercises or running in place?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myasia O.
