“Instead of extending the sedentary time period, break it up with some movement first thing in the morning. This isn’t a workout—it’s just going through the motions to give your body some nutritious movement. Perform a few repetitions of exercises that target the major movements: body weight squats and hip hinges and upper body pressing and pulling with light resistance bands or dumbbells. You won’t feel like doing this right when you get out of bed. Do it anyway, just for a few minutes. If you can establish this habit, you’ll wonder how you ever started your day without it. Your body and mind will feel much sharper and you’ll have fewer kinks in your muscles and joints.”
