Flexion, extension, side bends and gentle rotation \u2013 nothing complicated, but it instantly makes me feel more awake. The spine is the central axis of the body and keeping it mobile first thing supports everything from posture and core strength to the nervous system. I like to think of as \u2018switching on\u2019 my body, creating space, releasing stiffness and setting the tone to move with more ease and energy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before coffee, it\u2019s always water. Hydration is my second ritual, and I really notice the difference in my energy if I skip it. Breakfast is light but nourishing \u2013 either a smoothie full of protein, fibre and healthy fats, or sourdough with almond butter. Over time, I\u2019ve realised how I fuel myself in the morning shapes not just my physical energy but my mental clarity, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When time is tight, an express barre class ticks all the boxes. Short but powerful, a 20-minute <a href=\"https:\/\/barreseries.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Barre Series<\/a> class blends strength, cardio and core work, leaving me energised and centred. There\u2019s something about moving with real focus that has such an impact on my mood and productivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A Barre Series class is all about strength and flow. We start with a standing warm-up to mobilise the spine, then move into low-impact but high-intense sequences that blend Pilates principles with ballet-inspired movements. There\u2019s mat work for the core, standing leg sequences at the barre \u2013 or a chair at home \u2013 and upper body sculpting with light weights. Classes close with restorative stretches to reset the body. The goal isn\u2019t just to fatigue muscles but to build strength, stability and awareness.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I start my day by moving my spine.
