Morning routine

My mornings are fairly regular, provided I have got over the biggest hurdle of the day... getting out of bed!

This is how it goes...

5.45 Alarm.

Eat a banana and drink 500 ml water.

Stretches
15 x bridge holding each for 5 secs (lay on back with heals up towards bottom, lift hips to form a straight line between knees and shoulders, hold for 5 sec, return to neutral).
15 x supine high kicks on each leg (lay on back and high kick!).
10 x pendulum swings each side (lay on back with hips and knees bent at 90 degrees, swing knees left until shoulder begins to lift and return to neutral).
10 x scorpion on back each side (lay on back in the position of a church cross, swing right foot to left hand keeping left foot straight, return to neutral).
10 scorpion on front each side (lay on front in the position of a church cross, swing right foot to left hand keeping left foot as straight as possible, return to neutral).

Small bowl of porridge if followed be a bike or gym work out.

Work out (swim, bike, run, gym or yoga).

Cycle/run to work.

Large bowl of porridge at my desk; or if it is the second bowl, another small bowl of porridge!
