What I do when I wake up
Hi,
at the start of the year I took the choice to wake up early on a daily basis. I do not succeed everyday but most of my days start before 5 AM.
What do I do so early? Mostly fight at first with the taught of sleeping in. In 95% I win the fight with it. In the rest I just ruin the day as I feel very tired when I wake up.
I do have immediately a protein with greens breakfast. Usually a protein shake with Skyr, raw eggs and whey protein powder blended together. Sometimes I add some frozen raspberries. On the side I have either raw spinach or raw broccoli. This boosts the testosterone. Right after breakfast I go to the gym. It is one of the low budget gym chains in Germany. I don't like to spend money on some fancy gym with nice looking machines that are not doing more than a normal press.
The disadvantage of a low budget gym is that it is mostly over packed and not with people that I would like to hang around.
So going in at 5:15 is excellent as there is almost no one in. I can train freely and take the break times as wanted. Between series I do 2 minutes breaks because I load so much weight as I can carry.
In the past 2 months I changed my training also, focusing on what my PhD should have been about, biomechanics. I stopped my PhD in the 3rd year right before the thesis. Now I think that moment of rebellion was a stupid mistake. Back now to biomechanics. A lot of people do the exercises wrong, putting a lot of unwanted pressure on joints. I changed my training completely after studying a little after the injury I had a couple of months ago.
So this is how I kickstart my day. It gives me a boost or energy.
How do you get in the day?

Hey, @alexvan.
I generally come out to my home office and hop on STEEM. Sometime later, I go in and get breakfast. It might cross my mind to exercise. That's about it. :)
Actually, I do need to change my routines, and my eating habits, and get more exercise in. I know that, and my wife is very happy to remind me on a very regular basis.
It's just a matter of getting started.
