If you find it difficult to start in the morning , we recommend that, first of all, you do a little sport. Nothing about getting out of bed and doing squats like crazy, what we advise you is the routine that Paula Butragueño , personal trainer, yoga teacher and mindfulness coach, has shared on her Instagram account.

A short and simple routine that helps you activate your body and mind and that also will not take you more than 7 minutes. It will help you prevent stiffness, stretch and breathe, to start the day with energy. What more can we ask for?

10-exercise morning routine

  1. Control your breathing: start by inhaling and exhaling deeply through your nose to connect with your body. Try to hold this breath throughout the practice.
  2. Circular movements with the neck: start to mobilize the neck, inhale and turn the chin to the right side and with a circular movement go to the left side to exhale. Do it gently.
  3. Upper body warm-up: leave the shoulders well down and raise the arms taking air in 5 times, and then lower them in another 5 times exhaling.
  4. Quadruped: in a straight line with the mat and with the knees under the hips. Inhale bringing your head back, putting your fingertips and pelvis in as far as you can.
  5. The pyramid , known in yoga as downward facing dog: bring your heels to the floor, your tailbone toward the ceiling, and position your elbows so that they are trying to look at each other. Take 5 breaths in this pose.
  6. Malasana: open your feet to the width of the mat and exhaling, lower your hips towards the ground. In that position take 5 breaths.
  7. Trunk twists with 45º legs: Sit on the mat and bring your knees bent towards your chest at a 45 degree angle. Hold your legs with your right arm and bring your left back to do a torso twist. Repeat this on the other side.
  8. Back stretches : sit with your legs straight to do a frontal stretch, you just have to go forward exhaling and lengthening your back and arms
  9. Ardha Matsyendrasana: sitting with your legs straight, cross your right leg with the knee up, inhale raising the left arm and exhale bringing it behind the knee. Repeat the stretch on the other side.
  10. Butterfly stretch: finally, bring your feet together at the width of the hips, bring your hands to your feet inhaling to exhale gently lowering your trunk with your elbows resting on your calves.

After this, you can complete the practice with a little meditation. Let's start the day right!
