The following morning exercises are a favorite of Rob Panetti, Bay Path College's Personal Trainer.
He highly encourages you to try these 4 exercises which will give you a jolt of energy without the caffeine and coffee breath!
Do 2 sets of each exercise for 30 seconds.
Jumping Jacks
1.
Stand with
your arms at your sides. Be sure your feet are straight and close together.
Hold your head straight, but in a comfortable position to avoid strain.
2.
Bend your
knees. Jump up while spreading your arms and legs at the same time. Lift your
arms to your ears and open your feet to a little wider than shoulder width.

touch your hands above your head. As you return from jumping up bring your arms
back down to your sides and at the same time bring your feet back together.
