The Workday Warm-Up
Designed by BearmoreLook after your body, it’s your greatest asset.
Swap out the risk of wrecking your back for a few minutes that can help you warm it up. A short breathwork session, an intention to set the day, then a bit of stretching to warm your body up before the more demanding stuff starts.
