g.net Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hello all! I have a question and was wondering if anyone can help me. I work really long hours (8.30am to 10 or 11pm depending) and sit on my bum all day long. To get a little activity going, I was considering doing some excercise/stretches in my room right when I get out of bed before I change up as I usually have about 15 to 20 mins to spare. But I know it's not good to do anything on cold muscles cause you can injure youself. So I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on what I can do to just get my blood pumping in the morning when I get out of bed that can be done within a small space... I really need some excercise or movement of some sort lol. Thanks much in advance! Quote Link to comment
RussTheAerialist Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Jumping Jacks followed by some quick body weight motions like pull ups (if you have a bar), push ups and squats. That's pretty much what the Angry Birds Workout is Quote [ My fitness blog | My 6-week challenge ] Link to comment
Centurion Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Personally I've never had a problem with doing body-weight workouts after getting out of bed without doing any kind of warm-up. I went through a period of a few months where I'd get up, do a couple of sets of 30-40 push-ups, maybe some sit-ups, have a shower and then do another couple of sets of 30-40 push-ups and I never suffered any kind of injury because of it. Of course everyone is different but it's not like you're going to be getting up and lifting heavy weights, I find that simple body-weight exercises act as their own warm-up. That being said what Russ suggested sounds good (even if you don't need to warm-up the jumping jacks will give you a cardio workout), I'd throw in some kind of abdominal/core exercise for completeness, personal recommendations being bicycle crunches or the plank Quote Link to comment
JohnnyConfidence Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I do my workouts in the morning right after wake up. I'm using the rebel strength guide for my workout guide and it has a warm up routine in it. I do that before I get into the serious pushing working. Not had any issues.
