Wake up and GO!!<\/p>\n

The hardest step out of bed in the morning is the first one. My children however, have yet to learn this concept and bound out of bed with endless energy. As both a Together Counts\u00a0ambassador and a mom of boys, I have learned this energy is best when used for good, so the first thing we do in the morning is move our bodies!<\/p>\n

Here are 4 of our favorite \u00abwake up and get moving\u00bb ideas:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Go for a walk<\/strong> \u2013 I head out first thing in the morning with our newly adopted dog and go for a quick walk around the block. Studies have shown that walking decreases cortisol<\/a>, the stress hormone, and I have found this is the perfect way for me to \u00abcenter\u00bb my mind each morning.<\/p>\n

2. Jumping Jacks<\/strong> \u2013 These are a family favorite and easy enough that everyone can do them. I play one of our favorite songs and we jack our way around the family room (watch out for flailing arms!).<\/p>\n

3. Yoga<\/strong> \u2013 Roll out your mats and stretch. This is one of my personal favorites as it not only feels so good but I really enjoy watching my boys work their way into various poses. The deep breathing helps focus our minds and sets the tone for the morning.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0 Basketball game<\/strong> \u2013 We are lucky enough to have a hoop in our driveway so we play a few games of Pig and Knockout each morning before school. The CDC<\/a> has reported that physical activity helps kids stay focused in school and may also contribute to better behavior. This definitely holds true for my kids \u2013 I think playing basketball (or any sport) before school helps get \u00abthe wiggles\u00bb out!<\/p>\n

So the next time you are tempted to hit the snooze button, \u00a0roll out of bed and get up and get moving instead!<\/p>\n
