I run a farm without the benefit of heavy equipment. So my fitness routine starts about 0430 and ends about 2030. with a few breaks in between.

Most days I start by making a pot of coffee, fill my cup and sit down.

By following my wife on a 4 mile walk around the neighborhood ( done with customary 30 inch step) next 30 minutes at the local gym ( various weight machines) last but not least 9 AM Mass mandatory in my case,come to think of it I had easier NCOs in BCT over 50 years ago than my lovely bride,but I have to admit she's a lot better looking!

That's the nice part of being retired, I just get up put the coffee on and when my caffeine level is sufficient to deal with the world I go out and get to whatever needs to be done (or whatever I feel like doing).

most important is to drop one before pt, because we all been there.

Power bar about 15 minutes prior to PT and then crush the workout. No other preparation needed.

I wake up early....shower, shave, eat breakfast, drink coffee then go to work. Then I PT at 1600. Because early morning PT is no good!!!

Been getting lazy and fat, getting back into night PT with a few guys. Alternating leg and upper body days. Usually drink a gallon of water from morning until evening before I get into it, have a small meal before hand.

Stretch, drink two cups of coffee, and hit the rest room.

I usually get up at 0330, turn on the coffee, personal hygiene, and read a chapter or two from the Bible, leave the house at around 0415ish, conduct personal physical training (constantly varied, functional movements, conducted at high intensity) then do 'regular PT'. I'm sure that eventually I will incorporate Motrin into my routine.
