Workout Routines
One of the things that can help you get motivated and have a better day is doing a small workout or stretch session after you wake up. Some of these exercises aren’t that difficult to do, but they might take your breath away. You can do them in the morning or anytime at home without enrolling at a gym and still being fit!
4
Leg Squats
This exercise is good for knee stability, as well as your calves, quadriceps, and hamstrings. It also gets your legs warmed up for any intense walking sessions you plan on doing the rest of the day. Begin with your legs spread about shoulder-width apart and arms in front of you. Then begin lowering yourself as if you were about to sit down until your thighs are parallel. Then lift yourself up again back to the starting position. Repeat this process about 15 times for 2 sets.
5
Push-Ups
Probably one of the most intimidating exercises on this list. Primarily focuses on your triceps, shoulders, and chest. Begin by laying down (face down) and body elevated at arm's length. Then lower yourself to the ground while inhaling. Then, the hard part, push yourself up back again to the first position. It is easier for beginners to bend your knees so that you're not pushing your entire body weight. How many repetitions really depends on the person and which method you're using. Try doing 10 the first time, then gradually increase by 5.

Bicep Curls
Good for toning and strengthening your arm muscles. Pick up a dumbbell or any slightly heavy, holdable household item. Sit down with the item in your hand, have your armrest on your leg for support. Then begin raising your arm to shoulder length while exhaling, and lower it back down while inhaling. Repeat this process about 10 times in 2 sets.
Not only are they good mood booster, but they also help you keep your weight down and make you more active. Start including these routines in your daily morning schedule!
