My 2 Minute Morning Recharge Session

Here's my current 2 minute morning recharge while I'm brewing my coffee:

10 Hindu squats*

10 glute bridges (holding 5 seconds each rep)

10 pushups

*If you don't like or are uncomfortable doing Hindu squats, do air squats or step ups x 10 reps (per leg if step ups), instead.

I do just 1 round most of the time. If you want to do more, cycle through for as many rounds as you want, or, as I've done in the past, set a timer for 10-15 minutes and do as many rounds as you can in that time frame. (15 minute AMRAP with these 3 exercises turns into quite the workout).

It's a great way to start the morning, focus the mind, and wake up the body.

Whether you decide to do this quick 2 minute circuit or something else, start your day with a minimal dose of exercise. This doesn't have to be your entire workout routine. I'd prefer it not to be. Just begin the day with movement before the day begins chipping away at you. Later on, when you're fully awake, fed, and have more expendable energy, do a 30-45 minute resistance training workout.

Oh, and don't forget your evening walk. 

There you have it: 3 workout periods, each of varying length and intensities, done at different times of the day, every day.
