Creating a Morning Workout Routine: Reflections on Week Four
Written on
Chapter 1: Rest Day Reflections
Today marked a day of rest for me, allowing time to unwind and focus on personal projects. I woke up around 6:30 AM and naturally slipped into my usual routine. It’s become such a habit that even though I wore my workout gear, I opted to work at my desk instead of heading to the gym. With a warm cup of coffee in hand, I immersed myself in some work tasks I wanted to advance.

Section 1.1: Morning Routine
Around 10 AM, I prepared breakfast. After that, I indulged in some mindless entertainment on YouTube and Netflix. Whenever I remembered, I squeezed in a few air squats to keep my blood flowing. Later, I tidied up a bit around the house.
Subsection 1.1.1: Grocery Shopping as Exercise
This evening, I headed out for groceries. I prefer walking to the store, bringing my own bags and a backpack. This method limits my purchases to what I can carry, ensuring I only buy essentials while getting in a decent workout. The store is about half a mile to a mile away, making my round trip approximately 1-2 miles.
Section 1.2: Noticing Progress
Initially, this walk would leave me fatigued, often leaving me breathless upon return, drenched in sweat. However, today was different; I was pleasantly surprised to find that I wasn’t even slightly out of breath during my entire journey, despite carrying a full backpack and bags. It felt rewarding to recognize my progress.
Chapter 2: Resisting Temptation
As I walked, I contemplated treating myself to fast food but ultimately chose to stick to my plan and continued home. Instead, I opted to prepare dinner myself. Now, I plan to unwind for a bit before calling it a night.
