Morning Routine by jamibann

Morning Routine

Child's pose! Every morning, for years now, I have a small exercise routine - primarily to keep back problems at bay, but also to start the day in a positive way. I do a mix of yoga, stretch and pilates. It occurred to me the other morning, when contemplating my next 365 post, that this activity could serve as a post in itself! So, here I am giving it some consideration and trying to look relaxed as if I hadn't just pressed the camera button and nipped back into position before the shutter went off!!! Please note the dark hair roots - another sign of the times, growing grey gracefully. Along the back wall you can see several bags lined up - those are for delivery to our girl in Norway ... goodness knows when they'll ever be delivered. One day.
Very inspiring Issi!

we do one on zoom each week with a teacher in Italy and call it Koalates - so this is a koala pose 🤣

Always good to have a routine during lockdown. I used to go to a couple of keep fit classes before lockdown but luckily I have DVD's of their classes and so glad I have because they have kept me fit during lockdown. If I don't want to do the exercises I just go for a walk on the beach.

I have exercises but am not as disciplined as you, Issi. First thing I am always to be found at the laptop!

well down, I've been doing daily lock down yoga too, although lately it hasn't been quite every day...

I know this pose and it is amazingly relaxing! Don't notice the dark roots and hey - this is modern now!
They say take photos from the ground often!

Awesome selfie! I was wondering how you got back into place for the photo before I read your narrative - Well done!

Great routine to start the day of right.

I'm impressed! That's a great way to start the day and shows your discipline. I have a list of what I 'should' be doing but sadly am not at all disciplined about it, so always am in pain after my weekly workout with a trainer!

Great photo and well done to you for being so consistent. It's worth it.

I used to do pilates & I know many routines keep you beautifully supple so you have inspired me to try again....I vow to start again with just a few simple stretches in the mornings.
A lovely morning routine captured.

I can still do child's pose but getting back up takes a little time.

So disciplined and dedicated. I try, mostly in vein to do a short routine at least 4 or 5 times a week. Having demanding fur kids can be a spanner in the works when it comes to getting on with it.

Very inspiring and disciplined - a wonderful way to start the day.

What a great idea for a 365 shot...............I to have a morning routine of stretches, yoga and Pilates moves I've been doing for the last 10 years it helps to take the kinks out and to get me moving in the morning! Lol

Good for you. An interesting selfie but well done. Gray roots? How can one tell in B&W. Looks like highlighting.

That's awesome

I'm looking forward to the day when my second knee surgery produces a pair of legs that will be able to walk around the block. Down on the floor is not happening- but getting the heart pumping is still possible. Good for you- and ditto to what Kathy said. The black and white shot makes gray detection impossible! (That is my area of vanity- I will probably dye my hair until the day I die!)

It's great that you do stretching. I lack perseverance. But I go to the swimming pool.
September 8th, 2020  
Ahh, I end my exercises with that pose, such a good one
