About this routine

After eight hours of sitting — or sleeping — your body craves movement. This five-minute morning routine gently wakes up your joints, raises your heart rate, and chases away stiffness without requiring a single piece of equipment. Keep it light and easy; the goal is to feel alert and loose, not exhausted.

Should I eat before this morning workout?

Absolutely. Every movement fits within about one square meter, making it perfect for a bedroom or apartment.
