Some people like to exercise on carpet, with a pile that has some grip. However, select a fibre and weave that does not become slippery with use, and which you can take outside to clean and air out from time to time.

Practise energising yoga posesIf doing vigorous exercise early in the morning isn’t your thing, try doing an energising yoga routine instead. There are lots of different yoga poses that will help you feel centred, focused and fired up for the day ahead, including sun salutation sequences, downward dog, triangle pose and warrior II pose. Yoga poses like these will also elongate the spine, awaken the nervous system and improve blood circulation.Dream yoga rooms
