I highly recommend growing plants for stress relief, food, interest, and or decoration. Each of these plants comes with their own story - I have always been interested in growing, but when I was homebound due to chronic pain for a few years (ending at the start of the pandemic - we all know how 2020 went.), I let myself deep dive into my fascination with plants, growing, and everything green. The giant fern is a gift from my Mother-in-Law when she moved and had to find it a new home. The purple plant on my right is a triangularis oxalis, and the leaves move like butterflies all day long, opening and closing as the sun comes up and sets. We already have a replacement on the way, so we wont run into this problem again.Ī little backstory on the plants in this video the tall tree to the left of me is an avocado tree, grown from a piece of fruit I ate around 3 years ago.

While going through these upper body warm up exercises, practice like you play pretend as if you are hoisting a heavy weight around in each hand. Never write off any amount of movement it all counts! Even if you do this workout by itself, followed by more couch/desk lock, it’s better than uninterrupted couch or deck lock. Like I mention in the video, this warm up can be an excellent stand-alone routine to get your blood flowing and muscles warmed after a long day of sitting at the computer or on the couch watching tv. I hope that you use these 7.5 minutes to warm up your body, distance yourself from your daily obligations and duties, and mentally prepare yourself for the workout that might lie ahead of you. These are my usual, go-to moves for warming up for an upper body workout - I’ve spared you by cutting out the normal “bad dancing” and lip syncing - worse yet, belting along with the music at the top of my lungs.
