Good morning everybody. Welcome to your March wake up workout. Now it's time to wake up every day and feel grateful. You're alive. You're here and you're able to do this with me, so let's begin stretching through the arms and the chats. Beginning with a nice, good stretch. March is national nutrition month, so today I want you to focus every day I'm eating as well as you can. I eat well 80% of the time and then have my treats 20% of the time. You can do that too, as long as you're moving and exercising and doing something to burn those calories every day. I work out in the morning just like this. Get up and move those muscles. Now, work side to side, stretching the side of your waistline. Target toning those abs, the core, that's important. Get it going in the morning. That's it. Focus on good posture today.

That's great. Thinking about your back, strong and straight pull in your abs pulled in and tight. Good. Try to remind yourself to pull in your abs and think good posture, so important. Keeps your tummy tight. It really helps with elongating your spine, your back. Everything goes hand in hand and that stretch to the side, and let's turn to the side and hold the stretch. Pull your abs up and in. Stretch your legs a little more. If you can bring your arms all the way up. Hold that stretch. Just a light stretch first thing in the morning and take it back down. Let's go to the other side. Notice I'm only going a little way. That's good. Easing into your day. Stretching. Circulation is what helps heal your body. Stretch up, up, up, up, and release now take it all the way down. Stretch your toes. That's it, during the night if you ever get leg cramps, do this stretch.

So good. Stretching your inner thigh, stretching. Great. Let's go to the other side. Stretch it out, stretch, and now slowly relax your back by pulling your abs in. Stretch your back and curl it up. Make a c and flatten your back again. Round your back, tighten up your abs. Suck in the gut and flatten your abs. Placing your hands behind you. Keep your back strong and straight and lift all the way up. Beautiful. Now placing your hands on your hips and slowly flatten your back. Go all the way down until you can reach the floor with one arm and stretch the other arm. Oh, this is so good for your back. Keeping your spine strong and healthy and now reach your other hand down and the other arm comes up and a spinal twist. Keeping your tummy tight, stretching out through your thighs and your relay and look up and release.

Place your hands all the way down to the ground and try to stretch your back black neck muscles now and drop your head. Shake it out. No, shake it out. Yes, great. Just hang like a rag doll. Now bend your knees, one vertebrae at a time. Roll Up. Let me see. You're smiling. Beautiful things and beautiful. Bring your knees together. Really stretch out through the legs, the calves the feet so important for having a good day. Stretching all the major muscle groups and joints and switch to the other side and they were going to loosen up through the hips. So circle the hips all the way around. Circle those hips. Good loosen them up. Great. Going to move more today cause you started off right - each day this month. Do this workout, wake up and work out and the other side, you'll feel good. You'll feel like you're ready to start your day off on the right track. It's about being positive. It's about being grateful. You can do it. Go and make it a fabulous day - thank you.
