In my 20s and early 30s, I depended on intensity to get myself out of bed for early morning adventures. As soon as my alarm went off, I let testosterone take the wheel, and I would give myself some hyper-bro-y pump talk about bettering my mind and body.
Unfortunately, that method stopped working for me years ago. Since my “get up and grrrr” no longer comes naturally, I depend on gear laid out the night before to motivate myself. This routine helps me move early, before the pressure of daily life derails my plans for a midday workout.
