I Built the Scientifically 'Perfect' Morning Routine
#fitness #gym #morningroutine
Pro tip: Starting your day with an early morning run is a great way of making sure your day can't get any worse!
Honestly....this. I signed up for an 8k once, not realizing until the day before that it starts at 7am and it's below freezing outside. I did it anyways cuz I paid $$ for it, was back at 9am and felt so accomplished the whole day. With that said, I still prefer to start my day at 9am tho, lol.
everyone should start their day by saying "i love you" to their family
Yea now its difficult to walk
Depends how long the run is, you can be hitting a mile and switch the pace up a bit in between to get your heart rate up and you will be saving time and energy both. 5 mile runs every day are crazy unless and until you are into mma or want to compete in any endurance driven sport. I believe we can use that energy to do something that can actually make us some money.
As a runner, 5 mile speed work runs daily are just bad for your legs. Do longer runs every other day and let your legs recover between days.
Especially if you’re doing speed work - you need to let your legs recover as you need to heal your muscles.
Coming from someone who tried to do a 5 mile race pace session a day after intervals, resting and switching to swimming on alternative days will make you a stronger runner
I will never never get tired of your sense of humour
so much same
Agreed; Will you have a world class sense of humor 😂
he's so quick with it too that I don't always catch it
Not shopping for himself at a dog store. Sounds unfair
Bro looks like a swol version of the hacker from ZNation
Hey man, this might seem like a pretty random comment.
I’m an addict, had a few years, was on suboxone, turned out to be just as bad for me. So I’m going through the withdrawals this past week, finally start truly healing.
Your videos have been helping me a lot. I appreciated for video with Chris Williamson. Caring what others think has been a big part of my process too.
If you ever see this just know you’re helping folks in more ways than you might realize
you're doing amazingly and I'm so proud of you ❤ keep it up, and don't be too hard on yourself on difficult days. even if you go two steps back, you'll surpass it again and go beyond
So proud of you bro!!! You got this!! I believe in you
12 Days later my comment. You are doing well, understand the withdrawals right now will SUCK ASS, but you are in the right place with the right people. Wills community supports your decision to heal up and become a healthy human. FEEL NO RUSH as this will take time, and everyone here in the community is here to support your new life style!
Ps. Brother you got this, and in due time you will be INCREDIBLY proud of yourself for making these changes!
@ Thank you kindly. I’m currently on day 8. Doing a bit better physically, now comes the emotional stuff. I believe I can do it, appreciate the encouragement
Keep going brother, that's awesome. Tripping is a part of healing, so if you ever have a moment of weakness always go back on track.
Been watching you for years Will. I struggle with mental health and anxiety and watching you always makes me feel better. Hope you have a wonderful 2025.
Read the upward spiral by Alex Korb. I know there's thousands of books and everyone recommends something else, but if you didn't read any of them might as well start with any of them, so start with this one.

Awesome video bro, I follow you for more than two years. I was really fat when I started following you, first year I just followed for your fun and engaging content but then I also started working on myself. It's the best decision of my life. I dropped almost 100lbs in 2024. I didn't set any timetable goal or anything, I just started to live clean. I started my morning routine with warm lemonade, fast walking for 30 mins, and I eat healthy breakfast and drink green tea. After few months I started making 8k steps per day, and I drink at least 14 glasses of water. Exercise and meal plan are the most important , I took my meal plan from website OnlyMeal and I was strict with meals. I had only 1 cheat meal per 10 days. I exercised 3 times per week at the gym as well. That's it, happy new year!
That's awesome bro. Hard work and dedication always pay off. I also want to lose some weight before summer as well.
this is one of his best videos

I’m exhausted just reading this

I'm from Egypt, and the sun makes so much difference, I traveled recently and it was so depressing not having sunlight, it's the best morning when curtains are open and the warm sun wakes me up in the cold indoors since we don't have heaters in houses. it makes me feel so alive and full of energy, whenever I'm feeling down I will go out and just stand in the wind, sun shines on me warms me up, sky is so blue because there's no clouds, so nice🥰
As someone from the UK, where "the sun" & "sunshine" is basically an urban legend/ conspiracy theory (even in the middle of August) I'm so jealous of you, despite me having (far too expensive) heating in my home.
@@nixi-bixi Pretty sure "sun" has been invented by Big Tourism. Greetings from cold and wet Belgium.
Wish I had those issues lol, over 100F at the winter is no fun 😅
come to Queensland Australia 12hrs of sunlight a day with 35 degree heat
That's why we go to Egypt from Russia every single winter!😅
THIS VIDEO IS FULL OF COMEDIC GOLD! I needed this laugh...Thank you...Great video content as well, love it
Really enjoyed this video , love the balance between tongue in cheek humour and scientific backing.
Always enjoy your humor bro. Love from germany
I have never wrote a comment nor liked a video, EVER. but this one had me laugh crying so hard. Have been watching YOU(r videos) for a while and i really like your humor and stories. Thank you for these 18 minutes and 53 seconds of pure joy :) happy new year and please keep up your amazing work (:
OMG! This is absolutely the best "morning routine video" that I have enjoyed watching. This video came on my youtube feed for the first time early this morning. I totally love your sense of humor. I have watched so many "morning routine videos". Thanks and I am subscribing because I like the way you flowed in this video...very natural, authentic, and your commentary about the routine was about the practicality of it all. I could go on... Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
This video could not have come at a better time. I've been on a diet for 12 weeks down from 196 to 168 at 5'7, going into maintenance phase tomorrow and starting back up in the gym, I wanted to drop a bunch of fat before hand so it didnt feel overwhelming. My only concern was when to go, after work or before?
Hearing you describe the feeling of productivity and preparedness for the day im now convinced to go at 5 am.
Between your channel and RP with Dr. Mike I cant thank you guys enough for the knowledge, the inspiration and the sheer comedic value your channels have to offer.
Thank you for everything. Genuinely, yall are just invaluable keep up the great work!
Were your wife😂
Good Luck man !
@@rafaelsuarez3382 where you husband 🤣
@@AxisTC2 Much appreciated!
In my experience the only reason to go after work is if youre bulking and need to load the extra carbs first. If youre cutting you can probably eat something small or just fast through the workout with a coffee or preworkout. Also like Will mentioned the gym is dead in the morning. If i go after 5pm Im there for 3 hours because im waiting for all the machines.
I just willed my Tennyson before the gym and now this to watch on the way there?
We making the bus ride enjoyable with this one
Here's a few you might add also:
per Wes Watson - 15min inspirational reading, quotes, etc when you wake before starting anything.
per Athlean-X, Motivationaldoc - 8 oz water immediately after waking
per Athlean-X - deadhang, whether you exercise or not.
per David Allen (GTD founder) - when you write things down you're delegating to your list to allow your brain on higher level thoughts.
meal planning in the morning to avoid binge/impulsive eating during day.
All those guys suck.
The water drinking immediately after waking and writing things down are the best out of all the lists
Did you really quote Wes Watson? Lol
The sacrifices you make to give us an entertaining video are much appreciated.
no sacrifice.... he gets paid thousands.. possibly millions
Took me quite long time to get used to your talking, gestures etc.
I was here for your content, now I'm here cuz of you.
Simply open and honest, it's a pleasure watching you!
That’s like with literally everyone
yeah at first i thought his humor was pretty forced and wasn't that funny but now i think he's the funniest and most enjoyable youtuber out there 😂
Creep
True. Will is one of those guys you need to get used to a bit. Like Greg 🤣
I wasn’t sure why YT recommended this, but I know I most definitely needed the laughs. 🙏🏼
Dancing is one of the best ways to release trauma and stress.
So true the ending, do it your way. A couple things I have found helpful (but wouldn’t work for everyone) I do love having the curtain open when I sleep (and no one can see in) I still wake up at 7am even though the sun rises earlier, I feel more refreshed, and even sleeping with the window slightly open. And going to sleep at the same time each night, really helps me. I think its too easy to push back sleep, but if I wake up in the morning feeling awful because I went to sleep at 2am it makes my day so sluggish
I think some people take the "cold shower" part too literally by _only_ showering cold.
The trick is to shower like usual with warm/hot water and only finish the shower off with cold water.
That's because warm/hot water is way better at cleaning the skin/opening up the pores, it helps relax muscles/joints that might have tensed up during sleep. While cold water is pretty bad for cleaning skin, it closes up the pores and it tenses up the muscles/body.
But with "contrast showering" you get the best of both worlds: You can still be a bit sleepy during the warm/hot and washing parts, and then finish the shower off by going to the coldest setting to "shock" yourself awake and close up all your skin pores.
It's how I've been showering for over 20 years to start off my days awake without having to rely on coffee.
this !!! works wonders, I also don't need coffee most days unless I am sleep deprived , plus it does a great job for the skin in the long haul.
Not to mention most people make the mistake of turning on the shower, putting it completely to cold and then try get under the water. Thats how you get discouraged from doing cold showers.
Instead, one should get into the shower with no water on. Grab the shower head, turn it on and start by getting your extremities wet. I usually do legs and arms and then Im ready for a full cold shower at which point I place the shower head back.
Crucial note, a cold shower doesnt mean nor need the nozzle to be fully turned to cold. That usually means freezing, waterfall cold water. You should be aiming to have it cold enough where you dont feel warm water anymore. Once you get used to that, then you can play around with colder temperatures.
I’m gonna try this from now on. Also, how long do you usually shower with the cold water? Like a min before shutting it off?
I start with a warm shower, wash off, and then gradually turn it down while having the cold water primarily hit the back of my head and just sit there for like 2-3 minutes, it's almost like a short term meditation session because I focus on breathing with the cold water on my head.
i would advise agaisnt gradually turning the temperature down though; it doesnt give the same effect to your parasympathetic nervous system, otherwise this makes sense
If you’re struggling with keeping your morning (and evening) routine consistent, I got you. I’m obsessed with mine and love showing up to it- it’s all about mindset. 5 AM club ( winter time - 4 AM in the summer. I am in Ontario, too) and proud 🥳🥰
Will Tennyson videos are what get me through the week
Had a job in high school at 4:30 am. Was son of owners. Didn’t have to. 90 min on Monday W, F,S, 60 min on Tuesday and Thursday. $28.80 a week. I thought it was about the pay. Now looking back at age 70, wasn’t about the pay at all. Worked with one father of 3 daughters. No, I didn’t marry any. He’s long gone now but was like an additional father. What I learned is how much can get done being up early. At 22, I went on my own and since I wanted more income, I started working 2-3 shifts. Self employed. Loved work. Amazing how the clock ran my life. Now I run the clock and do things I want. Ran 8,500
sprints 100 yarders last year. Got to 11th grade weight. Not giving up. Goal 10,000. Got part time job so the frequency slowed. Morning and night. Some days I closed the park at 10 pm and opened at 6 am. Guy there saw me both times and asked had I been there all night. lol
You sense of humor is awesome 😂.. always enjoy your videos.. you seem so sweet to your wife and your pup is adorable 😍😊
Cold shower and straight getting into hypothermia run, what a wonderful morning routine
Love the videos, you've helped me laugh when the mental health isn't the best. Keep up the good work man, you're killing it !
Hey man love that! Have a great day bro 💪🏼
Late subscriber here but man I’m so glad I found Will. Watching all his TH-cam videos now, every one of them is straight gold.
bro the dust on that lamp is fucked up
I know 😭
@WillTennyson 🤣
WILL ! Ever since discovering your channel a year ago, I have been HOOKED on your vids. Love your creativity, wit, ideas, vulnerability... Such a pleasure to watch each of your new vids. Honestly, I've been thinking of starting my own channel for YEARS... hopefully, I'll make it big and be able to collab with you & other link-minded creators one dayyyyy!
I haven't laughed so many times with great intensity in a while.🤣 I haven't watched your videos in a while and I miss how funny you are.

Woahh!!! People love you Will that's for sure.
Will, I appreciate you. I have my first day of work tomorrow and I have been contemplating on how to get up early and continue to do this. Life works in mysterious ways. This was exactly what I needed to motivate me . Thank you

Hahahaha man I love how you're so fit but so darn relatable as to the fact that most people don't wanna do this stuff and find it miserable.
Man thanks for your videos. I started watching for the info since I’m new to the gym again. 2 months sober and have gotten into the gym to get myself back right because I am a 41 year old alcoholic who didn’t do shit but drink… ALOT!! And had lost every bit of muscle and was just fat as hell. Went from 265 to 240 in a month and a half and seeing huge gains in strength and body appearance. But now I watch your videos and enjoy knowing what the hell you are talking about. Be a better you today than you was yesterday. Thanks again Casey

17:33 I hope your wife doesn't see this 😂
“Even looks like mommy” is wild 💀💀💀
You motivate me so much. making fitness fun and interesting rather than basic workouts and meal plans.. and i’m a female always watching
I don't even go to the gym, I just watch you because you're entertaining.
Best morning routine is watching Will, through the day i can feel the inspration
"Prefect" self-improvement video. You have a good sense of comedic humor, man!
I laughed - loudly - out loud three different times watching this video. Man you are so funny, bro.
Oh dear Will, how I love your videos. You have the best sense of humor, thank you for making me laugh. You remind me in many ways of my dear Brother Michael, who I lost to cancer in 2017. Love you man, Keep up the good work.
i swear Will Tennyson videos are my therapy. This man is an absolute gem!
Instant serotonin boost, love your videos Will ❤
I honestly take cold showers every morning and I love it because it gives me a boost in the morning and helps wake me up love you will
One very simple and easy thing i’ve implemented that has made a profound impact: gratitude journaling. First thing upon waking I write three things I am grateful for, what I can do to make today great, and some words of affirmation.
Starting off my days on a positive note has made a massive difference in my mood throughout the entire day.
I promise you the majority of people that live to 100 or are wealthy did not achieve that because of wild morning routines. It's generally the lack of stress by having the freedom to do whatever they want, including having the time to make up ridiculous morning routines. Not to mention at least half of these people are definitely lying about it
If anything adding a bunch of wild routines that you think you need and have to do for business or life achievement will likely kill you faster from the stress it causes. Be healthy, stay active and do what makes you happy to the best of your ability every day, that'll work out a lot better
Well when you've got people cooking you breakfast, doing your laundry, walking your dog, organising your diary, and driving you places - then you'll have plenty of time to indulge in whatever nonsense your nutritionist, PT, and wellness expert can cook up.
True
Yes!!! Seems like everyone is pushing this go and grind attitude and do tons of things in the morning and while I see the productivity side of it, for me personally, it gives stress and burnout if I have a lot to do in the morning. Sleep is the most important then movement of any kind that you enjoy and works for your body and good nutrition that you also enjoy and is on the healthy side. If we look at the mediterranean countries they walk a lot, eat good quality food and have communities around them. You don't need crazy 100 steps routines.
Yeah I was waiting for this comment. My grandma lived to an age I seriously doubt Jeff Bezos will achieve she died at 101. Good luck thinking the “key to longevity” is these routines. At 92 she was walking our dog and planting tomatoes in the backyard lmao.
havent even watched the video but, i think just the existence of a morning routine is what makes people successful, not what the morning routine specifically is about but just creating one and having that to look forward too rather than laying in bed for an hour after waking up.
I am crying laughing right now. Thank you so much. You are so funny. Waking up in the morning taking a cold shower hysterical thank you for keeping it real.
17:17 caught me off guard 🤣🤣💀
Great work. your videos inspired me to get a membership, and get back into the gym after 13 years. I feel great about it. Thank you for your help.
The sound I made when you reached for the sauna rocks 😂
Will deserves more subscribers. I was actually shocked he was only at 3.3m I love this guy
Content has been so solid. You have definitely figured out how to nail both the nostalgic you-at-home type vids as well as the more ambitious collaborations. Both are awesome and add good contrast. Appreciate all the effort!
11:02 "Why are these rocks here?" had me dead 🤣
At 18:34 I was reading the list and realize I've found a path similar to that when I was living in my vehicle in Houston back in 2019-2020
1) Wake up on the sunshine of the day, sleeping in my old Jaguar was comfortable, double laminated glasses keep every noise out
2) Sting "Brand new day" and "Fill her up" for my alarm made my mood up
3) Straight to the Gym for working out, I love it (5 days per week at least!)
4) Sauna and Cold shower, oh yeah (too bad my long hair need so long for shampoo, guy girls dig it)
5) Grab a the or coffee before heading to the restaurant for working
6) Garlic bread addiction (I know, that sucks, but it's italiaaaan, so automatically it's good for your health and will make you live up to 105 y.o.)
7) run 3-4 miles at the restaurant because I was a bad server and lunch rush was crazy (good tips also 'cause people loved my italian accent, lol)
8) Pomodoro, yes that means tomato. I write down everything, regardless
9) early morning workout, check
10) more garlic bread and chicken alfredo
11) Sorry I don't dance. But I love karaokee
Man, I want my old life back, I need to go back to US asap

BROS BODDY IS GETTING BETTER EVERY VIDEO BRUH
You see those aaaaarm bro is puttinh the work
Waking up early and going to the gym is the most important thing. It gives you so much energy and helps you focus. I’ve been doing it for almost 10 years and my day is done with my to do list by 3pm most days. It’s great.
Not for everyone. When I went to gym at 7am my workouts were garbage and I hated life. Ruined my day completely lol
What do you do for work that you can go to the gym in the morning and be done with the day by 3pm?
Yeah but did you even help invent rockets or EVs? Nope than you’re wrong
I wake up at 4am to be able to get to gym by 5am leave the gym by 7:15 then get to work by 745 leave work at 430
Maybe if you have your sleep cycle/time adjusted for that and go to bed super early. Im talking like 18:00 in the freaking day. Thats still less than 10hrs of sleep.
By far the best fitness TH-camr out there
When I was in the army, early morning winter runs got me in the best shape of my life. Of course that was before out morning pt sessions. But winter running always made me feel better throughout the day than summer running
Did cold showers for over a month, found no benefit. I compromised and do a minute of cool water after a hot shower to Cool me off and that seems fine. I do a morning walk and that seems to be helpful to resetting my body for the day. Thanks for the video Will
You take a cold shower... Found no benefit... And compromise for what reason ? lol
@@WHAT_TAHW I found I would over heat in a really hot long shower. So I set the water temp to halfway between hot and cold to cool off for the last minute. So the water is cooler but not cold.
@@andrewzach1921so I don’t take cold showers in the morning. A simple splash of cold water on your face does the trick. Now what I do is go to the gym at night, after a long stressful day, I will go to the steam sauna and sit in it as long as I can, immediately take a cold shower, go back into the steam sauna, I do this repeatedly for typically 30 minutes. I’ve gone as long as an hour now. This I can tell gives me insane health benefits. I breathe better, I sleep better, I wake up better, I FEEL BETTER
I swear I have not laughed out loud, literally, as much as I do watching your videos. Your humour 😂😂😂 no match.

First Will upload I catch as a subscriber ^^
great video. Definitely has me feeling like I need to address my fitness. At 31 I can feel the dad bod coming on and the powerblocks I bought 2 years ago are becoming a permanent fixture of my living room. A proper morning routine is probably the best place to start.
Seeing how the face was blurred, I'm thinking papa tennyson is making an appearance again. I think you may be one of the only creators where you can't say, "I miss their old vids." My boys still got it.
12:48 this is a legit cause of bipolar depression where you know you can do more and feel bad when you don’t do as much as you have done previously. Been working on “letting myself down” for a few months and the more you recognize it the less the guilt hits the next day!
That feels like a bold claim...knowing you *could* do more causes bipolar depression?
My ps5 may not erase those thoughts but it sure does distract me in the meantime lol
So proud that you came out!
You go boy!
16:30 thank you for this, at this point of the video i got out of bed and cleaned my entire room and a clothes pile that was there for months that was huge. 3 hours later my entire room is clean and i feel amazing and can finish off the video. thank you
