Good. Me Up Premium Feed. Good morning and welcome to wake me up.

I'm Tyler, your host, as usual.

Friends, to make the most out of our days and our lives, we've got to be prepared.

We don't always know what's going to happen,

but by preparing our minds and bodies as best we can, we give

ourselves the best chance to adapt and thrive.

So this morning we'll do just that.

And we'll start right here in bed.

If you're up already, that's okay.

Find somewhere comfortable to lay down for just a minute

so you can join in.

And wherever you are, adjust so that you're laying on your back. Bend your knees and bring them into your chest.

Wrap your arms around and give them a big squeeze.

We're going to take some extra time to loosen up the body this morning.

For any movements we do, feel free to skip them if you're not able or if they don't work well for your body.

Adjust this to make sure it's right for you.

And as always, make sure you're doing these stretches in a safe place.

Now you can let go of your legs and just let your knees fall over to the left.

Keep your back flat on the surface beneath you though.

You'll feel a nice twist through your midsection.
