If you’re like me, you probably feel stiffer than usual in the morning, and it can take some time for your body to get back to “normal.” The best thing you can do to speed up the process is to move. The more you move, the faster your body is going to switch into its regular operating mode. What follows is a great routine for increasing circulation without shocking your body from its sleep state. The stretches concentrate on getting the most important areas of the body moving so you can start the day on the right foot.
