8 Get-Energized Moves
Description
Exercise revitalizes you in several ways, says Cindy Sherwin, director of trainer education for The Gym in New York City. Exercise has a calming effect and forces you to shift focus beyond your to-do list – like a mental coffee break. Finally, working out is fun, so it peps you up physically and mentally. Start with the first four low-intensity move. As you feel your internal energy barometer rising, progress through the workout. First and foremost, focus on your breathing – deep, rhythmic inhales and exhales – and your form throughout. You will need a mat, medicine ball and a step bench. Perform the routine once through whenever you need an energy boost or at least 2-3 times a week. Courtesy of Shape Magazine.
