Your enrollment in this course represents one giant leap in the direction of peak performance, and helps you escape from the disturbing norm of reaching for a mobile device first thing in the morning (like 84% of Americans!) Behavior experts assert that this immediate hyper-connectivity puts you in a reactive, distractible mindset that is difficult to extricate from for the rest of the day. In contrast, even a modest start with a five-minute exercise sequence can help you build focus and discipline, boost fitness, and elevate mood and energy first thing in the morning.
While I’m a former US national champion professional triathlete and Guinness World Record holding master’s athlete with a major lifelong commitment to fitness, I must admit that I never followed a consistent morning exercise routine. As I accumulate a streak (started in Jan, 2017 – haven’t missed a day since!) doing my template routine every single day, I must admit the experience has been life changing.
My routine started small (12 minutes) and has grown to become an impressive 40-minute workout, but it’s no trouble for me to complete. It’s become so wired into habit that I don’t even think about it. I don’t judge it as easy or hard, nor annoying or exciting, I just drop to the mat and commence the sequences. I contend my routine has highly beneficial meditative aspects, because I am in a completely mindful state, focusing solely on the count of each exercise in the sequence.
No matter how I feel when I awaken in the morning, I always emerge from the routine feeling better. I am excited to share this gift with you and encourage you to join me in the life-changing benefits of a morning exercise routine, one that that feels right to you and fits well with your lifestyle and fitness level.
