Functional Mobility: Lesson II

When it feels impossible to pry your bones away from the mattress on dark winter mornings, there are a few exercises you can roll through to wake up those petrified limbs of yours. A habit I employ on week day morns throughout hibernation season is lifting the edge of the bedsheets and slowly sliding to the floor to roll my joints and back out. I perform a full 20 minute floor ritual that leads to being able to open my eyeballs. I’m not suggesting this could work for you but maybe it’s an alternative to consider when the thought of standing overwhelms you.
