Mastering My Morning Workout Routine in Just One Month
Written on
Chapter 1: Early Morning Wake-Up
Today marks a 5 AM start! Yes, I’m back into my groove! The alarm buzzes, and although I'm a bit groggy, it’s manageable. I swiftly silence the alarm, sit up, and slide my feet into my slippers. After switching on the lights, I grab my headset to immerse myself in uplifting music or motivational talks.
I make my way to the kitchen, check that the electric kettle is filled, and switch it on. I open the fridge and pour myself a substantial glass of cold water, about 16–18 oz. I then add a generous teaspoon of my favorite decaf coffee to the pour-over filter.
Next, I head to the restroom to splash cool water on my face, giving me a refreshing jolt to help wake up completely. I return to the kitchen to finish my water and pour boiling water over the coffee grounds. Then, I proceed to my room to change into my workout attire, which I always lay out the night before for convenience.
After donning my clothes, I complete a set of sit-ups before returning to the kitchen. The aroma of my coffee has filled the air and is now cool enough to sip. Even though it's decaf, the smell and taste invigorate me further. I grab my keys, phone, and ID badge and head to the gym, arriving by 5:30 AM.
Section 1.1: Cardio and Strength Training
Today is designated as cardio day, but I kick things off with some shoulder rehab exercises. I perform 2 sets of sit-ups, followed by 10 minutes of biking. Another round of sit-ups precedes my 20 minutes on the treadmill. I conclude my workout with 2 additional sets of sit-ups, along with stretching my hamstrings and quads. I realize I need to incorporate more stretching post-cardio into my routine.
After my workout, I walk back home to prepare my lunch and jot down these notes. My next tasks are to shave, shower, and dress for work. On a side note, I started using my fitness tracker today, and I’m already at around 9,500 steps! Interestingly, I only managed to get about 5 minutes and 53 seconds of sleep. There’s definitely room for improvement there.
Despite that, I’m feeling fantastic! Whatever illness I faced last week has finally left my system.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day ahead! 😊
