Fitness is part of my morning routine.

I started this routine around 2014–2015, and I still follow it today. It keeps my mind calm, my knowledge sharp, and my day focused.

My morning schedule

5:00–5:30 AM — Vipassana meditation.

5:30–7:00 AM — Reading 4 daily morning e-papers: The Hindu, The Indian Express, Financial Express, and The Times of India for self-learning and current affairs preparation.

7:00–8:00 AM — Live current affairs class on the Class24 YouTube channel.

8:30–10:00 AM — CrossFit, gym, and mixed martial arts (MMA) for strength, flexibility, and an energetic start to the day.

10:30 AM onward — I begin my daily work routine.

Why It Works

This routine gives me silence, learning, discipline, movement, and momentum before the workday begins. The consistency of following it for years has become one of my biggest strengths.
