Mike used to feel sluggish in the mornings and relied on caffeine to wake up. Then one day, he decided to try something different. He set a 1-minute timer and did 10 jumping jacks as soon as he got out of bed. At first, it felt silly—but by the end of the week, he was hooked. That quick burst of energy made him feel alive. His heart rate went up, and he felt more focused for his morning meetings. He noticed his posture improving, and he even started sneaking in jumping jacks during afternoon slumps. Now it’s his favorite go-to habit. It’s free, fast, and fun—and it helps him feel like he’s done something good for himself every day.
