I wrote a related post on discipline and my general workout routine like 3 months ago on HN. In principle its the same thing as Jocko's podcast, but I think its also important to both have a daily physical and mental routine. Mental things could be journalling /meditating / blogging etc, just pick one and roll with it

Homegym is pretty convenient, what's nice is I can knock out an entire workout in 40 minutes (from warmup to cleanup, and my morning breakfast - workout shake) while watching 20 minutes of youtube / TV / anime etc at the same time. This is how I psychologically reward myself when I workout.
I wake up and go straight to 5-10 minute warmup w/ 3 lightsets and a light jog. I usually workout wearing nothing but my boxers then shower after. But I usually wear shoes and gloves to make it official though, b/c I need the extra gripping. I mentally associate an adrenaline rush when wearing certain gear, so this normalizes progress made.
Its pretty convenient not having to dress up when I workout. Also its convenient not having to worry about working out at night, b/c I usually do it pretty late. You have to do it at least 1 hour before you sleep. Today I did pullups / biceps / upperback.
- matwood 8y agoThanks for all of the information. One thing I need to work on more is writing. I workout every day and track my workouts religiously. Great to see another person working hard to stay on the path.
