First thing in the morning may not be the best time to exercise and stretch, afterall. Why? Although every form of exercise may stake it's claim on focus to a certain degree, it can do so at the expense of health if performed before the body is fully awake. Exercise may provide a reason to get focused earlier, however as an measure of focus it doesn't stand to reason.

For an assessment of focus to be objective, it also needs to be measure-able physiologically. Speed of reflex reaction time, kinesthetic, metabolic, and neural, is a good starting point. How fast the body can respond to stimuli depends on whether or not the musculo-skeletal system, the circulatory system, and central nervous system are fully awake before work begins. It generally takes the body about three hours to fully awaken after a night's sleep - one hour for kinesthetic wake up, one hour for metabolic wake up, and another hour for neural wake up.

Doing the pHx routine as a warm-up equalizes total body VO2max muscle balance, increases energy production in deep tissues, balances sympathetic and parasympathetic neural centres in five anatomical cavities, and accelerates wake up without wasting time and effort. Restoring fast VO2max balance in all muscles optimizes the body kinesthetically. Fast oxygenation of deep organs optimizes energy systems at Peak Metabolic Potential™ (PMP). And fast stimulation of the five neural centers, without pH acidification, in the natural order they normally awaken, optimizes physiologic coordination. pHx is a rapid wake-up routine that meets this criteria for focused one-pointedness honing reflexes for a faster reaction time. In fact, just 7 to 15 minutes of focus on pHx first thing in the morning, not only quickly gives a noticeable improvement in general health, it sustains focus all day...
