Stretch
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Stretching not only feels good, it also strengthens your joints and prevents injury. Today, spend at least 10 minutes gently stretching your entire body to remind yourself how good it feels. Hopefully, this will be the first step to a regular practice.
Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine.

I work in a daycar and every morning we stretch before we do our exercises. We try to teach the children of the importance of healthy bodies so we do the stretching and exercises with them.
Exercise is so important to get yourself moving in the morning, even when you don’t feel like getting up. It’s like a natural energy boost.
