I tried this 6-minute mobility routine as soon as I woke up instead of hitting the snooze button — here's what happened

I used to religiously only work out in the mornings, whether that be a run or a workout at the gym, I’d wake up and jump straight into it. However, the recent long and cold Winter has seen me do a 180 with when I choose to work out. Until it’s above 10 degrees outside again, I’d much prefer the extra time in bed and fit in some exercise during the day or in the evening.

That being said, I have been looking to ease myself back into a habit of morning movement, but something a bit gentler than intense intervals around the track or pushing through the best barbell exercises at the gym. This is how I stumbled across a short mobility routine designed by the fitness trainer, James Stirling, also known as the London Fitness Guy.
