Wake up and kickstart your day with a relaxing YouTube exercise routine, ideally performed in your pyjamas.
Start your day on the right foot with MonikaFit's beginner-friendly morning workouts. Designed to be quick, accessible, and low-impact, these routines are perfect for waking up the body and boosting energy [1], [4].
Led by instructor Monika Larssen, these workouts consist of standing exercises that are easy on the joints yet effective for increasing blood flow and energizing the body. You can expect dynamic stretches, gentle cardio like step-touches or marches, arm swings, side bends, and other standing mobility exercises [2], [3].
The recommended duration for these beginner routines ranges between 10 to 15 minutes, making them manageable even on busy mornings and suitable for starting a consistent fitness habit. For instance, there's a 10-minute standing morning workout that involves simple moves to improve circulation, metabolism, and mood [1], [4]. Another option is a 15-minute all-standing feel-good workout that requires no equipment and focuses on waking up the body gently [2], [3].
MonikaFit's YouTube channel offers full workout videos and monthly plans tailored to beginner levels that you can follow along [1], [2], [3], [4]. You can even perform these routines in your PJs and bare feet.
While morning workouts might not be everyone's cup of tea, they do come with several benefits. According to UK-based trainer Will Clifford, starting the day with a workout can build confidence as well as fitness [5]. Furthermore, a study published in the British Medical Journal suggests that morning workouts can improve cognitive function, enhancing people's ability to concentrate, learn, and make decisions [6].
If you've slept in a cramped position, doing mobility and flexibility work first thing in the morning can feel particularly satisfying. And if you're still struggling to get out of bed, remember: the most important thing is to find an activity you enjoy and stick with it [7].
