A good day starts with a little physical activity. However, not all sports are recommended.
What are the sports to practice when you get out of bed?
How to go about exercising in the morning without exhausting yourself for the day?
Here are the 3 morning activities that will help you get up on the right foot.
This activity is probably the best way to wake you up gently and give you energy before starting the day. The different postures will allow you to awaken your senses , in particular your proprioception (perception of the body), to soften your muscles and make them work gently.
We had already published a tip on the 4 tips to be fit in the morning. Read it again if necessary to complete my article.
To start the day off right, repeat the following sequence three times:
5 good mornings
Fall:Hold 30s
8 squats
Prayer:Hold 30 sec
5 pumps
Fan:hold 30s on each side
If the sun is out, do not hesitate to step outside . In addition to getting your cardiovascular system going, you will draw energy from the sunlight . Walking won't relax you as much as yoga, but it will definitely put you in a great mood.
If you have an hour and a half in front of you, swimming will offer you an effective muscle awakening focused on weight loss . Unlike the previous activities, it is imperative to have a solid breakfast before , because this sport is calorie-intensive.
Drink an energy drink. During the night, your body lost water and energy. To avoid the crash, drink a glass of orange juice diluted in a 500 ml bottle of water before, during and after your session.
Do not exceed 20 minutes of exercise. Physical activity should remain a pleasure that awakens your senses. Beyond 20 minutes, your body may get tired, which will cancel the benefits of your session.
Practice at moderate intensity. If you are not used to doing the sport right out of bed, go moderately or you risk exhaustion throughout the day.
Don't forget breakfast. Once your session is over, have a full breakfast while finishing your hydration . Eat slightly more than usual as your body will maintain a high metabolism throughout the morning.
Morning exercise is a great way to start the day off right, as long as you follow these tips. Leave a comment for any additional information. And above all, don't forget:move smart!
