1. Commuting

For those who live within reasonable distance from their workplace, why not begin your day with a light form of exercise and jog, walk or cycle to the office rather than taking the car? If you live far away, why not get off the train or bus a stop or two earlier, or park your car further away and stretch your legs with a brisk walk. It’ll be great at awakening your body and mind for the beginning of the day, just remember to dress appropriately!
