Hmmm... I guess I meant "routine" as in habitually or routinely making time for exercise, not a specific single exercise or standard "routine" (as in a dance routine or gymnastics routine).

Interestingly I don't don't find that exercise makes me any less achey in the morning, but it doesn't make me any MORE achey. I tend to be achey and stiff until my joints and muscles loosen up a bit.
