Routine Breakdown

Aaron Marino, YouTuber

An Influencer’s Game-Changing Routine

As the number 1 men’s lifestyle influencer on YouTube with over 6 million subscribers, Aaron Marino says he is “obsessively protective” of his mornings. Here’s his routine.

The Routine:

• Drinks lemon water to hydrate. 
• Gets early morning sun exposure for 10-30 minutes.
• Combines the previous step with outdoor exercise. “It’s going to wake you up, boost your metabolism, and make you feel amazing.” He adds weight training before his jog 3-4 times a week.
• Has a cold shower. “It builds strength, it builds toughness, it boosts immune function.”
• Has breakfast, combining healthy fats, good carbohydrates, and protein. “It’s going to give your body the energy it needs without causing your insulin to spike super high.”
• Plans for the rest of the day and takes time for himself.

Why it works:

• How’s your water intake? Hydration keeps organs functioning, regulates body temperature, helps brain function, and more. Drink up!
• Morning sun exposure regulates circadian rhythms and helps you sleep better.
• Combining resistance training with regular cardio is a recipe for longevity. 
• Research suggests cold showers can relieve muscle pain and boost immunity.
• Balancing macronutrients in meals does help keep blood glucose stable.

Aaron adds that what else you incorporate into your routine is up to you. “Really it boils down to you, your personal preference, and what you enjoy,” whether that’s reading a book, meditating, doing yoga, or prepping for your day. 

For him, incorporating the above steps has been a game-changer. “It makes me more productive, it makes me feel better, sleep better, and that in turn is going to optimize pretty much everything.”
