Bright Morning Tips:
Among all the exercises you could do every morning to spend the day feeling energetic and happy, try these exercises that boost mood and give you an instant energy to go about throughout the day. Doing these exercises regularly also tone the inner organs and improve circulation.
1. The hamstring stretch: Can’t remember the last time you woke up in the morning feeling energetic? Just do this exercise for 10 minutes a day. Lie down flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Then slowly lift your left leg up and towards the chest. Loop a towel or an exercise band and hold it with the ‘arch’ of your foot. Pull both the ends of the towel with your left hand, pulling it towards your chest and support the thigh with your right hand. Hold this position for 2 seconds and slowly release. Do the same with the right leg. This exercise done for 10 minutes a day strengthens your leg and back muscles and removes stiffness.
2. The pelvic tilt: This exercise relaxes the back muscles and re-aligns the pelvis. Lie down on the floor with your knees bent and your feet on the floor. Slowly pull up the right thigh towards your chest with both your hands and hold this position for two seconds. Repeat this with the left leg and do this exercise for 5-7 minutes every day.
