This is your same CARs routine, but done at lower intensity, quicker tempo, and with more repetitions. This is also 10min shorter than our normal routine.

This routine is great to do first thing in the morning after waking up. Roll out of bed, and get a quick low intensity buttering to start the day right.

I would highly recommend starting every morning with this routine. I would still recommend doing our normal CARs routine sometime during the day as well. Our normal routine is a great training stimulus, whereas the Morning CARs is just a great way to wake the body up and circulate some blood. So both Morning and Original CARs routines can be done in the same day, and in combination make for a great recipe of buttering up our joints on a consistent basis.

Other uses for this class:
- If you’ve been doing a ton of sitting and feeling “tight”, and you don’t have time or energy for our normal routine - do a quick 15min low intensity buttering to combat that “tightness” from sitting.
- You can also use this class if you’re under the weather. Maybe you caught a cold or are dealing with something - you can do this routine as joint maintenance and to circulate blood flow without stressing your nervous system out at all.
- You can also do this after a very intense workout. Maybe you did a long aerobic bout, or a super challenging weight lifting session, and your nervous system is feeling too taxed for a normal routine - throw in this quick low intensity routine and help with recovery.

Start those days right with some CARs first thing in the morning, and go have yourself an amazing day!
