For the last week I didn't exercise because of a persistent stomach issue. Friday the weather changed here to above 30°C (~88°F). For me, it's just too hot to function. Today the temperature dropped 5–6 degrees so I got my session in, even though it was still a bit too warm for me. This coming week it’s going right back up to 88°F. I simply can't lift when it feels like this. A heavy floor fan helps a bit, but not enough. How do you guys deal with the heat? For context, I live in Denmark. We're surrounded by the sea, so we have a super stable climate. Almost never too hot, almost never too cold. Because of that, nobody here has AC and our houses are heavily insulated to trap heat. My genetics are built for the cold; I’m 189 cm (6'2"), which was probably a massive advantage when we were Vikings, but right now I'm just a giant walking radiator. 😅

What did your morning look like today? Not your workout. Your morning. Did you wake up with a plan, or did you reach for the phone before your feet hit the floor? Did you eat something that served your body, or grab whatever was easiest? Did you have five minutes of quiet before the world started pulling at you, or did you hand that time away before you even realized it? I've been doing this long enough to know that the men who are winning in the gym are almost always the men who are winning in the morning. Not because they have more time. Because they've decided that the first hour belongs to them. I don't care what that looks like for you. It doesn't have to be a two-hour routine. It could be 20 minutes. But those 20 minutes, before the phone, before the emails, before everyone else's needs, are yours. That's not selfish. That's a standard. And at the end of the day, men who hold that standard in the morning tend to hold it everywhere else too. What does your morning routine look like right now, and what's the one thing you'd change about it if you could? Drop it below. 👇

What's everyone's thought on running as a means of cardio. I run several times a week and mostly big runs like 5-6 miles when I do run/jog. I've heard different takes. Just curious what yall think
