For me, it's sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I'm driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I've loved it since I was a child and I'll never stop doing it!

Congrats on still being able to bend over at 40! I'm 2 years from 30 and everytime I bend over something pops lol.

I can recomend to do just something easy. Find easiest and shortest routine (that lasts 2 minutes, literally) and do it in the morning.

Since I startet it, I feel much much better. It is not like full exercise, but at least muscles don't hurt as much.

I do:

  • Head and Shoulder Rolls x5 to each side
  • Hip Circles:l x5 to each side
  • Arm Circles x5 to each side
  • squats x10
  • some others similar warm up exercises when I feel like it (ex. malasana squat)

Idea is to move every muscle in my body. It is not hard, lasts 2-3 minutes but makes my day few percents nicer.

You should add in toe touches, everyone should be able to touch their toes without bending at the knees. I recommend bending you're knees, touch your toes, straighten your knees out till you feel the stretch, hold for a few seconds, do like 10 times.
