Starting your day with exercise can boost your energy levels, improve mood, and set a positive tone for the rest of the day. Here are 10 important exercises you can incorporate into your morning routine:

1. Jumping Jacks.

   - Benefits: A great full-body warm-up that gets your heart rate up, improves cardiovascular health, and helps in waking up your body.

   - How to do it: Stand with your feet together and arms at your sides. Jump and spread your legs while raising your arms overhead, then return to the starting position. Repeat.

2. Push-Ups.

   - Benefits: Push-ups strengthen the upper body, including the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles.

   - How to do it: Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor, then push yourself back up.

 3. Squats.

   - Benefits: Squats target the lower body muscles, including the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, and improve overall leg strength.

   - How to do it: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, lower your body by bending at the hips and knees, keeping your back straight, and then rise back to the starting position.

 4. Plank.

   - Benefits:  A core-strengthening exercise that also engages your arms, shoulders, and legs.

   - How to do it: Lie face down, then lift your body onto your forearms and toes, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Hold for 30 seconds or longer.

 5. Lunges.

   - Benefits: Lunges improve leg strength, balance, and flexibility while targeting the quads, hamstrings, and glutes.

   - How to do it: Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at about 90 degrees, then push back up to the starting position. Alternate legs.

 6. Mountain Climbers.

   - Benefits: A dynamic, high-intensity exercise that strengthens the core, improves endurance, and boosts cardiovascular fitness.

   - How to do it:  Start in a plank position, then alternate driving your knees toward your chest as fast as possible, maintaining the plank posture.

 7. Burpees.

   - Benefits:  A full-body exercise that improves cardiovascular fitness, strength, and explosiveness.

   - How to do it: From a standing position, squat down, place your hands on the floor, jump your feet back into a plank, do a push-up, jump your feet back toward your hands, and jump up.

 8. High Knees.

   - Benefits: A cardio exercise that engages your core and strengthens your legs while improving coordination.

   - How to do it: Stand and jog in place while lifting your knees as high as possible, alternating legs rapidly.

 9. Leg Raises.

   - Benefits: A core-strengthening exercise that targets the lower abdominal muscles.

   - How to do it: Lie on your back with your legs straight, then lift them toward the ceiling while keeping your lower back pressed into the ground. Slowly lower them back down without letting them touch the floor.

10. Yoga Poses (e.g., Downward Dog, Cat-Cow).

   - Benefits: Incorporating yoga helps improve flexibility, balance, and focus while reducing stress. It’s also a great way to stretch and release tension in your body.

   - How to do it: For Downward Dog, start on all fours, lift your hips toward the ceiling, and form an inverted V-shape with your body. For Cat-Cow, alternate between arching and rounding your back on all fours to warm up your spine.

 Bonus Tip:

You can combine these exercises into a circuit, performing each for 30–60 seconds with minimal rest in between to make your morning workout efficient and energizing.
