This low impact aerobics practice segment is a fun way to warm up (and wake-up!) the mind and body. It’s great to do before more vigorous exercise or if you’ve been sitting for awhile and your body needs to MOVE! Even short periods of exercise can boost the metabolism and support heart and brain health.  If you have limited mobility then you can modify and follow along while sitting in an armless chair. (This episode is a bit longer than the usual 5 minutes because it includes an encore “performance” for those who want to go through the routine a 2nd time.)

Note: If coordinating your arms and legs is challenging for you, then this routine may take a few practice rounds to master. Don’t frustrate yourself if you don’t get it right away. Just smile and keep moving! For the brain benefits, you only need to attempt it; You don’t have to perfect it. Oh, and if you follow along with the video, I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below.

How did you do?  Was your body coordinating well or did you struggle with the routine? Either way, I hope you let yourself have fun with this mind/body fitness experience! Here’s to your health!
