Miracle Morning?

[Glassman]

So the wife and I are trying to get better control and use of our time and our lives..
I was just looking back over this great thread by @The Munt
http://www.botl.org/threads/enhance-your-life-for-the-cost-of-a-lemon.93982/#post-2077227
And it made me think of a book I've heard of called "the miracle Morning" as well as some tips from Tim Ferris.

Any of y'all familiar with any of this?

What do you do?

Every morning I drink a large glass of water and have coffee while in a deep Indian Squat while listening to Sports Radio

It took me a while to hold this position, but I’ve been doing it now for a couple years and my knees, hips and back have never felt better. I can squat like this indefinitely without any discomfort, but when I first started I could barely get down half way and stay there for 5 minutes. My wife and kids think I look like a fool, and I suppose I do. Try it keeping your heels planted without going up on your toes, it’s not easy at first but It’s a simple way to stretch a lot of major muscles and ligaments and gets easier the more you do it.

Hope the floor is warm.

I do these, but with a kettlebell. Call em prying goblet squats. 15 a day as part of my warmup.

What do you follow that up with?

At what point in the day do you do your workout?

What's your morning routine?

Food before or after working out?

Interesting. That's not how I imagined you to look Shawn....

I do three sets of five, mixed in with three sets of five halos (to warm up the shoulders and wrists) and back bridges. Then I do 10x10 swings (32kg) and 5xR 5xL Turkish getups (also 32kg).

I do this when I have time.

My morning routine is to get poked in the eye by Theodore so that I wake up and give him breakfast, followed by coffee and my breakfast, then usually a cigar.

Food before. Unless it's almost lunchtime. Then food before AND after.

This Casella video pretty much contains the basics of Hal Elrods Miracle Morning Plan. Good stuff.
