Long slow deep breathing and gentle exercise are all within your power to improve your health. When practiced daily, you will get stronger, more flexible, and improve your posture.
As you get stronger Warm Up progresses from easeful mat exercises to standing strength training.

Find a place a home to flip out your mat and press play.
Take a 5 minute Warm Up break at your office.

Why:
The Warm Up is the most commonly skipped part of a workout, but when used wisely can prevent injuries. A good Warm Up is small, gentle movements that prepare you for what is to come.
Warm Up aligns the bones, heats up the muscles to support the skeleton, and activates your core.
If you experience pain during or after your workout, this is a sign your Warm Up needs tender loving care and improvement. A pinching feeling in your joints is your body telling you it needs a mindful Warm Up before the movement you are doing to prepare you.
If you are not currently exercising at all, Warm Up is the place to start.
