I'm going to give you a 12 minute routine that

if you do this every single morning for the next 30 days could have a huge impact on your health, from your mood to your energy levels,

the way you sleep and even your motivation to take on the other things

that I talk about on this channel that are all backed by really good, solid research.

open your eyes.

The clever part is

that in those 12 minutes you'll tick off several of the

biggest pillars of long -term health all at once before your day has even properly started.

This one is aimed especially at those of you who are over the age of 50 or 55, something like that, because as you'll see,

this is exactly the age where a routine like this starts to matter the most.

If you're new here then welcome to the channel, I'm Dr Alex, I've worked in emergency medicine in the NHS in the UK.

for a decade and i've become fascinated by the simple things

that help us to live longer and stay healthy and so

if you learn something from this video today then please help

me out by liking the video giving it a hype as well

and subscribing to the channel all of those things are completely free

and it really helps me to keep this channel growing

and churning out these videos for you so here is the challenge

that i've got for you and it is really simple so for the next 30 days as

you wake up what i want you to do is to put your socks

and your shoes on put the rest of your clothes on

as well i want you to drink a large glass of water and head straight out of that door

then i want you to walk really briskly for the next 12 minutes every two minutes

or so i want you to stop and do 20 squats

or 20 walking lunges and then carry on walking

but walk for six minutes away from your home

and then turn around and then walk the next six minutes back

and that is the whole thing how easy is

that it sounds almost too easy

but let me talk you through what's actually happening in your body during those 12 minutes

because every single part of it has been chosen for a reason

so the first thing you're getting depending on the time of year

and where you are but for most people the first thing you're getting is light in your eyes as soon as

And this is far more powerful than I bet a lot of you actually realise.

So deep in your brain you've got what we call your master clock.

And it takes its cue from the light that hits your eyes first thing in the morning.

When that bright morning light lands in your eyes, it shuts off this sleepy hormone called melatonin,

and effectively starts a timer so that melatonin rises again at the right time, roughly 14 to 16 hours later,

which is what helps you to fall asleep later on that night.

But this isn't just about sleep.

That same morning light gives you a very healthy little surge of cortisol

and a lift in the feel -good chemical called serotonin.

And together, those leave you with more energy and a brighter mood for the rest of the day.

the day.

Now, because it's summer when I'm recording this video, most of you are going to be living in a part

of the world where the sun is already up well before you are.

So the light is sitting there waiting for you.

But in the depths of the winter, Like I said, depending on where you are,

this can be a bit different and it might still be dark or only just getting light when you head out.

But even then, the natural light during a sunrise outdoors is far better than anything inside your house.

So just try and get outside as soon as you can, as soon as you can see that light starting to appear.

So anchoring your sleep with morning light is one of the simplest ways to sleep better

and feel more awake during the day.

And again, talking from personal experience, somebody who's done night shifts for years, getting morning light into your eyes really honestly does help you sleep better.

later on that night.

Now, I've just realized that I forgot to mention the water that you drink as soon as you wake up.

So while you've been asleep for seven or eight hours,

you've been steadily losing fluid that entire time through your breath and through your skin and you wake up very slightly

dehydrated and so your blood becomes a fraction thicker and a bit more viscous.

So that large glass of water anywhere between half a pint to a pint, first thing in the morning,

it rehydrates It supports your blood pressure and it gets your brain working properly

and it helps your kidneys sort of wake up and start flushing everything through.

This is a really tiny habit, but doing it before anything else means that it actually gets done.

And I guarantee a lot of you watching this will be drinking far less water than you should be.

And then we've got the brisk walk itself.

And the word that matters here is brisk.

So you want to be moving at a pace where you could still talk, but you wouldn't be able to speak really long sentences or sing like a tiny bit out of breath.

That lifts your heart rate up into what we call zone two or a moderate zone.

And as you know, your heart is a muscle.

So asking it to work like this on a regular basis every single morning makes it stronger and more efficient over time.

this daily brisk walk brings down your resting heart rate

and it slowly improves your fitness over time

and remember heart disease is still the single biggest thing

that kills us so anything this simple

that protects the heart every single day is absolutely worth doing

and now we've got the squats and the lunges and for Over 50s in particular,

this might be the most important part of the whole routine.

So from around the age of 50, we start losing muscle at an increasing rate, something like 1 % or 2 % a year, unless you do something about it.

And this is you doing something about it.

Now, that slow wasting away of your muscle is what eventually leaves people very frail

and unsteady on their feet and struggling to get out of a chair or their bed or climb the stairs.

Squats and lunges work the really big powerful muscles in your legs and your backside,

your glutes, which are the exact muscles that you rely on to stand up

and to walk and to catch yourself if you trip.

The lunges in particular, and you can search on YouTube for the correct technique if you don't know what this looks like,

just type in "correct lunge technique" and something will come up I'm sure.

This challenges your balance.

It can be a bit difficult if you're just getting used to it.

And good balance is one of the best protections there is against the falls

that can be so devastating later on in life.

And there is a real bonus on top of all of that.

Every time you stop and fire out 20 squats or lunges, your heart rate jumps up really sharply.

And then as you walk on again, it settles back down before the next burst of lunges or squats.

That hard then easy then hard then easy pattern is essentially a very gentle form of interval training,

almost like a little bit of a HIIT workout right in the middle of your walk.

heart and your overall fitness.

If you do this regularly, this kind of work helps to bring down your blood pressure and your resting heart rate, and it improves something called your heart rate variability,

which is one of the best signs of a healthy, resilient heart.

And my Garmin watch tracks this every single day.

100

So you're not just building muscle here, you are essentially protecting your future independence.

101

thing rather than reaching straight for your phone.

102

So gentle rhythmic exercise like walking lowers your stress hormones

103

and being out in the fresh air with a bit of greenery

104

if you're lucky enough to live around

105

that has been shown to calm the nervous system down and lift your mood as well.

106

So the combination of light and movement and fresh air nudges up the brain chemicals that make you feel good and settled.

107

So you walk back through your front door in a better frame of mind

108

and a better mood than when you left out of it.

109

And here's the extra benefit that took me a bit of time to fully appreciate

110

and one that I've seen clearly on my own glucose monitor.

111

to handle that breakfast far better.

112

Contracting muscles like this, they can pull sugar out of your bloodstream almost like a sponge, and they can do it without needing much insulin at all.

113

So when you sit down to eat your breakfast, you know, half an hour later,

114

the spike in your blood sugar is noticeably greater than it would have been otherwise because that effect from your muscles,

115

from that contraction, continues for around an hour or two, sometimes longer afterwards.

116

So if you do that morning after morning, then over time you're improving the way your body handles sugar,

117

which is one of the most important things that you can do to keep diabetes at arm's length.

118

Now you might be wondering why I'm so insistent

119

all of this the moment you wake up

120

so part of it is the sunlight

121

which only does its job for your body clock

122

if you get it really early on

123

but a big part of it is simply human nature

124

if you bank this as an early win as soon as

125

you wake up before you check your phone for emails or you know before you

126

speak with your family or you put the tv on

127

or you settle down with a nice cup of coffee and the have had time to pile up.

128

it almost always gets done.

129

If you do it straight away, you know, and get this into your routine, then you are going to be so much more successful at keeping to it.

130

If you leave exercise until later on in the day,

131

then life just has a way of getting in the way and again speaking from personal experience, I'm much better at exercising first thing in the morning

132

because I know once I get into the rhythm of work

133

or I become a bit tired from everything I'm doing that day, I'm less likely to actually do it.

134

So if you do it first, it sets the tone for everything else that follows.

135

And within a couple of weeks, it stops feeling like a chore and it starts feeling like the natural way to begin a day.

136

And when you add on the minute it takes to throw on your clothes and your shoes, The whole thing literally should be 15 minutes or less at the very most.

137

And that is really short enough to be done before anybody else wakes up.

138

Or better still, you can do it with your other half.

139

Both of you set your alarm or just one of you set your alarm.

140

Both of you get up, jump out of bed, put your shoes and clothes on, head straight out of the door.

141

And within 15 minutes, both of you have already exercised, you've had a good workout, you've hydrated, you've got light in your eyes, you feel energized

142

and really happy with yourself and you feel like you can do anything later that day.

143

You feel so good about yourself.

144

Now for some people obviously, especially if you're getting on a bit or you're not really used to any sort of exercise,

145

doing this 12 minutes might be all you can manage in a day and if that's you, that is honestly, genuinely, it goes without saying,

146

that is a brilliant place to your body and build up slowly.

147

But for most people, the real idea here isn't that this replaces your exercise, it's that it sits on top of whatever you already do.

148

Think of it more like the foundation that you laid down before the day has even started, not the whole house, if that makes sense.

149

And as always, this isn't personal medical advice.

150

If you've got heart problems or joint problems

151

or any other health concerns where you need to be taking things a bit more carefully, then just speak with your own doctor who knows your medical history, who knows your medication list,

152

before you throw yourself into squats and lunges and anything like that.

153

Just be careful before you start this.

154

this, this is about as much benefit as you can get out of 12 free minutes.

155

You're getting your hydration, you're getting your morning light, you're getting your cardio, your strength work,

156

and a calmer mind, and also a flatter blood sugar all before breakfast.

157

So that is my challenge to you.

158

Give it an honest 30 days.

159

Just try it every single day.

160

Pay attention to how you sleep and how

161

watching this you will feel so much better for implementing this into your daily routine and my hope is that

162

For the people who don't already do anything, this will give you

163

a bit of a light bulb moment it'll give you the bug to start doing things more regularly

164

and really taking charge of your health let me know in the comments

165

if you try this for 30 days

166

and how you felt at the end of it thank you so much and i'll see you next time

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
