Before beginning this routine, give yourself a nice, long stretch throughout the entire body. Really stretch into any sticky, sleepy spots.
Make sure your mattress is relatively firm and supportive. If it’s not, move to a mat on the floor (sorry, no bed for you!).

Repeat this sequence three times.
1. 12x Reverse Crunches
2. 24x alternating Leg Lifts (12 each side)
