Our bodies when we sleep or sit in one position for prolonged periods of time can get stiff and we sometimes have aches and pain. Here are 5 wonderful Morning Movements you can do right out of bed to loosen up joints, muscles and get the body ready for the day.
1. Full Body Opener
Begin in an upright standing position with your feet shoulder-width apart, maintaining good alignment with your head, shoulders, hips, and legs. Engage your core and bend through your hips and knees to move into a deep squat, bringing your arms back. Raise back up, lifting your arms overhead and arching through your back. Return to the starting position and repeat the movement.
