WHY SHOULD WE DO A LITTLE GYMNASTICS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?

Morning exercises have a different effect on our body than exercises done in the afternoon or evening.

Morning gymnastics provides:  

• 🌙 stimulation of the body after a night's sleep 
• 😴 getting rid of drowsiness 
• ⛅ a boost of energy for the whole day 
• 😊 an improved mood 
• 📚 better concentration 
• 🍴 accelerated metabolism 

Morning gymnastics are general physical exercises performed in the morning, before breakfast. 🥐 This kind of exercise should be performed by everyone – it has a positive effect on the quality of your day. The purpose of such activity is to stimulate the body to function efficiently for the rest of the day, activate the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, increase metabolism, and also to move the joints. It has been proven that people who regularly exercise in the morning have a more positive attitude and a better mood. The exercises should be simple and their pace should be slow. Morning exercise does not have to take up a lot of time. Just 10-15 minutes is enough to activate the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system and to get the joints moving. During physical exercise endorphins, or happy hormones, are released, which improve the mood and ensure well-being for many hours. 😃 Morning exercise improves blood supply to the brain 🩸, which in turn improves concentration and long-term memory. Exercise speeds up metabolism, making the body burn calories faster, thus aiding weight loss. Studies also suggest that those who exercise in the morning have a smaller appetite during the day, which promotes weight loss. 🍴
