Woke up in the morning gotta thank God,

I don’t know but today seems kinda odd,

No squatters at the gym, and on a whim,

I did a set of 20 paused squats and I think I’m Him.

– Ice Cube (probably)

Fun Fact: The phase “I think I’m Him” I got from my middle school girls. Apparently when someone thinks they’re “Him” that means he has a very inflated ego, and thinks he’s amazing… learning new things every day!

N.W.A. Tip Of The Week

If you’re looking for the best, science-based method to start your day off right, here is what your morning routine should look like:

Wake up with no alarm at 5 am
Sit in an ice bath for 10 minutes
Go directly to your in-home sauna for 20 minutes
Drink 8 ounces of bone broth to replenish your electrolytes
Spend 30 minutes doing a guided meditation
Write down 73 things you’re grateful of in your journal
Read for an hour
Drink a protein shake with creatine
Go to the gym and lift weights for 45 minutes
Walk 10k steps outside in the sun
And ONLY THEN can you open your laptop or phone to begin your workday at noon

What do you think of that list?

Is it doable?

I often laugh about “morning routines” you read about on the internet.

They’re hilarious to me, and completely unrealistic.

When you see a “morning routines of billionaires” list, it makes no sense to the normal person.

99% of these extensive morning routines are done by people who FIRST hustled and struggled and worked every second of every day, and only once they found success were they able to start implementing their optimized “morning routine”.

I could probably have an extensive morning routine now if I wanted to, as I no longer am teaching and I’ve built Anyman Fitness up to a decent size (and it helps to have incredible employees who have the same vision and fire as I do).

But when I first started?

Morning routine?

HAHAHAHA, that’s too funny…

Here was my “morning routine” in 2013, back when I first started Anyman Fitness, and I was still teaching school:

Wake up at 5 am way-too-early to a blaring alarm.
Groggily walk to the computer, turn it on, and work on Anyman Fitness.
Work for 2 hours on the side gig.
At 7 am, go wake up Ava, change her diaper, and get her dressed for daycare.
Then, go wake up Brooklyn and do the same.
Take a 5 minute shower and get dressed as fast as I possibly could.
Grab the kiddos, head downstairs, get them breakfast, and pack their lunches and 75 extra outfits in case they pooped or puked on their clothes (parents can relate).
Drop them off at daycare, and head to work to teach for 7 hours…

It’s so glamorous, amirite?

Most normal people don’t have time for a crazy morning routine.

Even to this day, I wake up, say bye to my daughters as they head out the door to the bus, and I sit down with my coffee and open my laptop up.

No extensive morning routine required.

The most “optimal” morning routine on earth won’t take away from the fact that you still have to do the hard work to be successful.

And if that means forgetting to do your “gratitude journaling”, so be it.
