Here’s a list of five exercises that might just help you feel a little more refreshed, even when sleep is lacking as complied by  EKO HOT BLOG .

1. Morning Stretching Routine
   Start your day with a gentle stretching session. Stretching increases blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and wakes up your body. Try some gentle neck, back, and leg stretches. Not only will this loosen you up, but it also helps regulate your energy levels throughout the day.
2. Jogging
   A brisk walk or light jog in the morning can provide an instant energy boost. Even a 20-minute walk helps to increase blood circulation, stimulate endorphin release, and combat the grogginess from lack of sleep. Plus, it’s great for clearing your mind and setting a positive tone for the day ahead.
3. Strength Training
   Strength exercises like squats, lunges, or push-ups can help you feel more alert by activating large muscle groups. Short but effective sessions can release enough endorphins to give you that much-needed boost. Keeping up with resistance training also supports overall health and helps fight the fatigue that comes with poor sleep.

4. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
   If you’re in need of a serious pick-me-up, HIIT might be your go-to. It’s intense but short, combining bursts of effort followed by short rest periods. HIIT increases heart rate and stimulates adrenaline, making you feel more awake and energized. Plus, it’s great for fat burning, so you get both the energy and fitness benefits.
