I'm a huge fan of routines and habits. Building habits, in my opinion, is the cornerstone to success in any field or endeavor.
I've messed around with my gym habits and my morning routine for years, but yesterday I decided to try something new on whim.
Here's the routine:
- Wake Up
- Get Dressed for the Gym
- Meditate
- Make Coffee
- Drink Coffee and Read for 1 Hour
- Once I'm Done With the Coffee and 1 Hour Reading, Head to the Gym
It's a pretty simple routine, but I felt better than I've ever felt before. I'm writing this post right now as I do the routine for a second time.
You'll notice that I don't eat anything in the morning. In fact, by the time I get back from the gym, I will have fasted for about 18 hours.
Fasting is yet another thing that keeps me extremely focused and training fasted in this routine felt absolutely incredible yesterday!!!
I can't wait to see how it goes today (I'm headed to the gym in about an hour as soon as I'm done writing this and then reading!!)
Waking up early, doing this routine and finishing it off with killer workout just seems to be the best way for me. Everyone's different, but I highly recommend giving this routine and other routines a shot and see which works for you!!
Let me know in the comments what your favorite daily routine is!!
