Make it a habit to start every day with pushups and crunches. Simply roll out of bed, then stand up and reach your arms overhead towards the ceiling to get the blood flowing. Drop down and do a moderate number of pushups. If your best-ever is 40 pushups, go for 20. Follow up with crunches for your abs. This is a great way to jump-start your day.
