Fitness: the right things to do when you wake up to start the day right
These days we do violence to ourselves to get out of bed and we end up feeling guilty about this state of lethargy. No need to rush! A few tips can gently wake up your muscles and revitalize your body.
Have you ever envied the nonchalance and pleasure with which the cat stretches its paws and back after a deep sleep? This jealousy will soon be behind you, once you have adopted the right form of waking up. This ritual will transform your potential bad habits (going immediately in the shower when getting out of bed or skipping breakfast) into a virtuous circle: we tone the body and start energy expenditure. More alert and in good shape, we prepare our body to more easily face stress and other annoyances that may arise during the day.
HYDRATION
The first reflex of this morning "warm up" refers to the basics of well-being routines: the essential glass of water on an empty stomach. Diluted with lemon juice or not, water upon waking detoxifies the body and revives transit.
We then start the muscular awakening by performing these movements, always on an empty stomach (and before the shower):
SIMPLE BODY ROTATIONS
We turn the bust from left to right. 10 rotations are carried out in this way, remembering to exhale well. Keep your stomach tucked in so as not to hollow your back.
REELS WITH ARMS
In a standing position, with your back straight, you open your arms and do the reels. 10 times in one direction and 10 times in the other.
THE GOLFER'S ROTATION
We imitate the "swing" of the golf player by making a slight rotation of the hips. At the same time, we transfer the support from the left leg to the right leg if we turn to the right. That is, we bend the left leg by shifting the weight of the body on the right leg. We associate this leg movement with a slight rotation of the torso and swinging the arms from side to side, as if throwing a golf ball. You tuck your stomach in well so as not to hollow your back. Then we do the same on the other side. A series of 10.
ANKLE AWAKENING
We turn the ankles ten times in one direction and ten times in the other.
HALF SLOTS
You activate your legs and buttocks gently with the lunges exercise. Place the left leg bent 90 degrees in front of you, the right leg is positioned behind. The hands are placed on the hips, the back straight. We look ahead. We descend perpendicularly with the right knee to the ground. The left knee should not extend past the front of the left foot. We stop halfway and go back up, the goal being to gently wake up your legs and not to do a real gym exercise.
Do 10 half lunges on each leg, exhaling on the way up and inhaling on the way down.
THE WALK ON SITE
We continue the awakening of the body with a walk in place. Standing up, we climb on our toes and we go back down. We imagine that we are walking on invisible heels but in place. We do two sets of 10 movements.
LOWER BACK STRETCH
Stand up, curl your back and bend your legs so that you try to touch your toes. The more flexible can do this exercise with straight legs.
