WELLNESS TIP: EXERCISE UPON WAKING UP. Procrastination begins in the body, says Rettig, and deskwork helps foster it. Morning exercise gets the blood flowing and makes you more alert. If you don’t like to sweat or can’t fit in a long routine, simply start your day by stretching, twisting or dancing. “It’s important to work out the stiffness in the body, especially if you sit all day,” she says.
