My morning routine continues to be the best part of my fitness routine. That is saying something too – because I love my current routine and I have been at it for 6 months now.
My morning routine is to dead hang from a pull-up bar for one minute, then sit in a low squat for 30 seconds, then move into a deep lunge for 30 seconds on each side, and finally to stand with my eyes closed and breath for 40 seconds and then balance on one foot with eyes closed for 20 seconds each side. That is it. I always feel good afterwards and I feel like it is short and effective.
My current training focuses on a base of zone 2 cardio (45-minute sessions) 4-5 days per week, HIIT 1-2 days per week, and light strength training which is commonly chins superset with dips two days, trap bar deadlifts on Fridays, shrimp squats on Tuesdays. The shrimp squat variation I do is a 5 second count down and then explode up. It is usually 3 sets each side with 5 to 10 reps each, depending on how I am feeling.
That has been very good for me. I have more energy than when I was doing a lot more resistance training, and I feel good.
I will stick with this for the next month at least, and probably a lot longer.
