Around that time I also watched several Wim Hof videos and decided to throw some parts of that method into my morning routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After about 2 months it turned into the morning routine I still do every morning. I start with the breathing exercise, then the HIIT and close off a 2-4 min cold shower. In all, it takes me around 30 to 35 min. This is quite easy to allocate since working remotely has become the de-facto standard nowadays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"did-it-make-a-differenceit-is-actually-hard-to-say-since-the-start-of-my-morning-routine-i-ran-2-marathons-and-did-some-endurances-races-on-the-bike-but-i-m-not-sure-if-i-couldn-t-have-done-it-without-the-morning-routine-but-i-think-it-did-help-it-could-be-because-the-compounding-effect-which-is-slow-but-steady-moving-you-in-a-certain-direction-without-big-notice-ble-steps-i-do-however-feel-a-certain-kind-of-awkwardness-when-i-skip-my-morning-routine-there-is-something-about-it-which-makes-it-nice\">Did it make a difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"did-it-make-a-differenceit-is-actually-hard-to-say-since-the-start-of-my-morning-routine-i-ran-2-marathons-and-did-some-endurances-races-on-the-bike-but-i-m-not-sure-if-i-couldn-t-have-done-it-without-the-morning-routine-but-i-think-it-did-help-it-could-be-because-the-compounding-effect-which-is-slow-but-steady-moving-you-in-a-certain-direction-without-big-notice-ble-steps-i-do-however-feel-a-certain-kind-of-awkwardness-when-i-skip-my-morning-routine-there-is-something-about-it-which-makes-it-nice\">It is actually hard to say. Since the start of my morning routine, I ran 2 marathons and did some endurances races on the bike. But I&#8217;m not sure if I couldn\u2019t have done it without the morning routine. But I think it did help, it could be because of the compounding effect. Which is slow but steady, moving you in a certain direction without big noticeable steps. I do however feel a certain kind of awkwardness when I skip my morning routine.
