Waking up with stiff joints? You’re not alone. As we get older, it’s common to feel stiffness first thing in the morning — especially in the hips, knees, and lower back. But here’s the good news: just a few minutes of gentle movement before you even get out of bed can make a big difference. I recommend this simple habit: Take each major joint through a full range of motion — about 10 times each — while you’re still lying down. It’s quick, easy, and helps loosen things up so you can start your day feeling more mobile. It’s one of the simplest ways to stay ahead of stiffness and keep moving well, for life.
