Go to YouTube to see how it’s done and then, every morning, do 10 as quickly & intensively as you can, take a break counting to 15 and repeat the cycle 3 to 5 times. If you want to really push it, repeat at midday and/or in the late afternoon, latest 4 hours before you go to bed, so that your body is not too revved up when you try to sleep.
