Because let's be honest, when you first wake up, the last thing you want to do is a full-blown workout. (I don't either.)
But I’ll tell you what does make a difference — just a few minutes of gentle movement in the morning.
It helps your joints loosen up, gets the blood flowing, and honestly? It sets the tone for the whole day. 😌
And no, you don’t have to throw on gym clothes or do jumping jacks in the living room. (Unless you want to. In that case… go get ‘em, tiger.)
Here’s the deal:
Your body’s been still for hours. Everything gets tight.
Stiffness is sneaky. The longer you stay still, the worse it feels.
The weather doesn’t help. Summer heat = swelling + sluggishness.
But when you move early — even for just 5–10 minutes — you help your body say, “Alright, let’s do this.”
And let’s be honest — once it hits noon, it’s way too hot to be stretching in the backyard or walking the block. 🌤️
These aren’t fancy. You can do them in pajamas. You can do them half-awake.
But they work.
While your coffee or tea is brewing, pace around the kitchen. Just walk. It sounds silly — but it gets things moving.
Try this: Walk heel-to-toe in a straight line to help with balance.
Stand tall. Raise both arms overhead. Then lean gently to the right, then the left — like you’re trying to reach the top shelf but forgot which side the peanut butter’s on.
Good for: Upper back stiffness, shoulders, and sides.
Sit in a chair. Lift one foot slightly and roll your ankle in slow circles — 10 in each direction. Then switch.
Good for: Morning foot pain, stiffness from gout, and general grumpiness.
Stand facing a wall. Hands on the wall, feet shoulder-width apart. Do gentle push-offs, like a standing push-up. Go slow and easy — this isn’t a race.
Good for: Warming up the wrists and elbows.
Drop your chin gently to your chest. Roll your neck in a slow circle. Then roll it the other way. Follow with a few shoulder shrugs. Up, down, repeat.
Good for: Letting go of that “slept wrong on the pillow” feeling.
You don’t need to do all five. Pick one or two and just start.
The goal isn’t to break a sweat — it’s to tell your body:
“Hey, I’m still here. Let’s warm up and face the day.”
And trust me… your joints will thank you later.
If you ever feel like your joints control your day, you’re not alone. But small habits — like this one — really do make a difference.
And if you ever want to talk through more ideas like this, just hit reply. I love hearing what works for you too.
Stay cool, stay loose,
Brandon
