I used to start every morning watching the news. Before I’d even left the house, my head was filled with doom, chaos and problems I couldn’t control. Now? I spend those same 9 minutes on me. I move my body. I practise gratitude. I focus on what I can control. I visualise a great day ahead. I stay present. Swap the bad news for some bad-ass moves and positive energy. 🙏💪 If you’d like to join me: ⏱️ Do each movement for 60 seconds. When the video loops, move on to the next exercise. ✅ Lymphatic Hops ✅ Body Waves ✅ Trunk Twists ✅ Arm Swings ✅ Dead Arms ✅ Golf Swings ✅ Marches ✅ Ballet Squats ✅ Horseback Stance A quick reminder… These movements aren’t what took me from 122.9kg to 77kg. My transformation came from: ✅ A high-protein diet ✅ Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) ✅ TRT (after discovering my testosterone was low) ✅ Weight training 3–4 times a week ✅ 12,000+ steps a day ✅ Showing up every single day for over 400 consecutive days This routine is what keeps me feeling mobile, energised, positive and ready to attack the day. 💾 Save this video and follow along every morning. 👇 Comment “DONE” if you joined in today, let me know what day you’re on, and 📤 share this with someone who could do with a more positive start to their mornings. Let’s replace a few minutes of bad news with a lifetime of better movement. ❤️ #MorningRoutine #TaiChi #MentalHealth #Movement #Mobility
