Welcome to the June Good Morning Wake Up Stretch - a good way to workout in the morning! This stretch will get you moving, get your blood flowing, get the tone set for the day... so let's make today a GREAT day! You can do this workout inside or out - it's really a simple but effective way to burn some extra calories and give your metabolism a boost. I love these AM workouts, and I hope you do, too!Here's a few reasons YOU should be moving a bit first thing in the morning:
Four Reasons to Workout in the Morning
- It warms up your muscles. After a night of sleep, moving around will help warm up your muscles, which can help promote flexibility and prevent aches and pains associated with stiffness.
- It helps burns some calories. Many people are asking me right now about gaining weight during quarantine, and exercise (and watching what you eat!) is the best way to lose weight - and maintain weight loss! Make exercise part of every day, and it will benefit you in so many ways. Start small if you haven't been working out regularly - this workout is a great one to begin with, as it is low impact and only five minutes long. Then work your way up to some 10-minute workouts, then 20-minute ones. My DeniseAustin.com Plan is perfect for beginners because my 20- and 3-minute workouts can easily be done in 10-minute bits. I have a free trial going on right now, so check it out! You can cancel at any time, but I think you'll love my retro and studio workouts, short challenges and more. No strings attached - it's free to try for 30 days for a limited time!
- It helps boost your metabolism. Also important for weight loss, you want to keep your metabolism humming. Along with fat-burning foods, exercise helps you build muscle and keeps your metabolism running along!
- It sets a great tone for the day! I find that when I workout in the morning, I tend to eat healthier and move more during the day. It's a mindset that may work for you, too!
