The gymnast showed how to start the day correctly.
Exercise can help lower blood pressure, and with it, the risk of heart disease. In addition, people who do not skip this ritual are more likely to move throughout the day and spend more calories.
Samira Mustfayeva showed her variation of the morning warm-up. The gymnast posted a short clip “VKontakte” with a small set for a couple of minutes. And that’s what went into it.

Head tilts
This is the simplest exercise to help you wake up and tune in to an active start to the day. By stretching the neck, we improve blood circulation in the brain, supply it with oxygen and nutrients. Remember to keep your shoulders in check. When tilted, they should not rise up.
Body tilts forward
From the neck warm-up, you can go a little lower. When tilting, it is important to properly stretch the back, for this it is worth working on resistance – the arms stretch forward, as if someone were pulling them out, and the tailbone, on the contrary, should be taken back. The main thing is to keep your back straight, otherwise there is a risk of pinching the thoracic region.
Running on the spot
Like any cardio workout, running in place trains your cardiovascular system. Moreover, in this exercise, the same muscles are involved as in normal running, and the shock load is much lower. A minute will be enough to cheer up.
Jumping
Scientists at the University of Manchester concluded that jumping in place prevents thinning of bones and venous insufficiency. It is important when performing the exercise to push off with the whole foot. The effect is increased if hands are included in the work.
