If you struggle as I do each morning with the battle of “mind over mattress” and have trouble convincing your body to get out of bed, you might try waking yourself up with some energizing Oxycise! reps — before you even get out of bed!
The Oxycise! Basic Breath is so wonderful and adaptable — it can be done almost anywhere and any time, including flat on your back in bed! In fact, I have found that 10 or so reps of Oxycise! first thing in the morning helps get my heart pumping and gives me a boost of energy to start the day.
It’s amazing, too, how many different muscles you can flex and tighten and stretch, just laying in bed! Another advantage of doing Oxycise! flat on your back is that you can really feel your abs expand and then tighten as you do the breathing — in fact a prone position encourages proper diaphragmatic breathing rather than “chest breathing”…so it’s a good way for beginners to practice. Remember to do the pelvic tilt (or just bend your knees) to protect your lower back.
Have a great Oxycise! morning!
