Instead of hitting the snooze button in the morning, take the extra 10 minutes to stretch. It's a great way to energise the morning and ease away any stress or tension from the previous day or a funky sleeping position.

Since stretching before breaking a sweat is debatable, keep morning stretches simple. Try this easy stretching sequence when you wake up tomorrow (or even today!) to get your blood flowing and your body primed for the day.
