In my last blog post we chatted about how just 5 minutes of movement can relieve morning stiffness, decrease back pain, leave your body feeling more awake and energised and actually help you build a habit so your body craves moment.
But how can we make it happen? Here are some ideas for you:
Step 1: Stack it Attach your 5 minutes to something you already do. While coffee brews. Before you shower. Right after you wake up.
Step 2: Make it super simple Don't overthink it. Pick 3-4 movements and do them. Same ones every day if that helps. (Look back at last week's newsletter for ideas).
Step 3: Let go of perfect Some days you'll have 5 minutes. Some days you'll have 3. Some days you'll do it in your pyjamas with a toddler, cat or dog climbing on you. ALL OF IT COUNTS.
What you'll notice:
Less morning stiffness
More energy throughout the day
Reduced back pain
Better posture
A sense of calm before the chaos starts
Proof that you CAN prioritize yourself
You don't need an hour.
You don't need perfect conditions.
You don't need to wait until life calms down.
You need just 5 minutes.
And you deserve those 5 minutes.
Tomorrow morning, before you do anything else, give yourself 5 minutes. Just to move.
Just to breathe. Just to show up for your body.
See what happens.
See you on the mat (even if it's just for 5 minutes).
