A simple, science-backed solution awaits - Welcome to your new energy optimiser!
The Science Behind the Slump:
These common signs often link back to factors like shallow breathing throughout the day, an afternoon drop in adrenaline and blood sugar, stagnant lymph flow, and a mental-physical disconnect.

- Grapevine side steps for agility.
- Bouncy bum kicks to get your blood flowing.
- Walking lunges for strength and flexibility.
- Single leg hops or both-leg mini jumps, depending on your preference.
- High knees, whether at a jog or a brisk walk.
