MY MORNING ROUTINE During Coronavirus Quarantine

what's up everyone my name is Alex Kosta

welcome back to my channel today we have

a morning routine video while in

quarantine

I know these are crazy wild

unprecedented times that I've never seen

or lived through before my life so you

know what I'm gonna show you guys what

I've been up to and how I start my day

to make sure that I'm productive to make

sure that I'm doing well

during this crazy time usually the first

thing I do when I wake up is grab some

water because a couple of my mouth

really dry then the second thing that I

do nowadays especially because of

everything that's happening is grab my

phone I know a lot of people are like oh

don't grab your phone right away when

you wake up I'm not like that I need to

see exactly what's going on that day so

that I can be prepared for the rest of

my day and usually the first thing that

I do is I just swipe left and see what's

on the news because honestly guys I'm

just looking for something positive

right now okay we have this coded 19

outbreak Tom Brady left the Patriots I

don't know what's going on in the world

so I want to make sure that I am aware

of what is happening so the first thing

I do is read the news and then I'm off

so the first thing I do after I get up

and come upstairs is make myself a

little pre-workout drink lately I've

been really enjoying this one here it's

the amino energy from optimal nutrition

it doesn't make me tingle or anything

like that you know the ones that you

take and your ears get really warm it

starts to tingle to feel crazy this

doesn't do that but it does give me

loads of energy so I can be ready for my

workout

[Music]

after I drink my pre-workout I come back

downstairs I make my bed because there's

nothing like working and living in an

organized and clean space and of course

I get ready to work out do you really

think I'm not gonna work out just

because I'm home

hell no let's get this started guys so

I'm so lucky because just two weeks ago

I finished building my little gym here

at home in my garage which means that I

can workout I don't have to go anywhere

usually what I do what I like to do as

you guys know if you've followed me for

a while is go to group exercises and

your group classes like Barry's boot

camp rumble boxing things that are like

high-intensity training and those are

all closed down the gyms are all closed

down so I'm so lucky that I did this for

you know rainy days days that I didn't

feel like going to the actual gym and

now it's really been my bread and butter

when it comes to working out I'm here

every single day working out I have a

bench I have this kettlebell I have

dumbbells boxing bags ab roller speakers

very important for music and a pull-up

bar that's all you need so this

kettlebell here is awesome because it

goes from 8 pounds all the way to 40

pounds so for example if I lift it up

only 8 pounds it's pretty much just this

and then if I lived 40 pounds it brings

up all of this

so it's an interchangeable weight

kettlebell it's from both legs I'll

leave it linked below if you guys are in

need of workout equipment for home and

then I have the same thing but in

dumbbells gear so I have two dumbbells

which is great because instead of having

a whole rack of dumbbells you can just

have two and you can go from five all

the way to 52 so for example 25 here 25

you pick it up and only that specific

weight comes up which is awesome I also

bought this bench on Amazon as well as

the math and the maths make a huge

difference because it's just a lot

easier to work out when you're more

comfortable

[Music]

all right all done one of the best

things about having a gym at home

workout in your socks it's actually a

lot more comfortable guys if you want to

see any bodyweight exercises I know I've

done some of those videos and I can do

more I can shoot a little video here

Justin and I we can shoot a little video

on bodyweight exercises that you can do

at home while your self isolating while

you're quarantined so let me know if you

want to see that leave it in the comment

section down below since I'm not

commuting to the gym or to work out

classes anymore I have a little bit of

extra time and I like to spend that time

stretching and also taking care of my

muscles with this Thera gun here this

thing is incredible guys I'm not sure if

you've ever used one but it's amazing so

here we go

[Music]

all right and actually just got a

shipment of food delivered right now

which is good because we're kind of

running low so let me show you what I

got okay so we got here beef ravioli

look I'm not saying it's gonna be the

healthiest of quarantines but at least

we have food I try not to over buy

things I know they had a lot actually a

lot of canned food available when I

bought it online but guys we know you

don't need to be over shopping you don't

need to be panicking like this right

here 12 cans of ravioli and eight

chicken and dumpling your pot pie cans

like we're good for a little while so

try not to panic try not to bite them in

too much food too much toilet paper

there's no point in hoarding all of

those so that other people can't have it

so there you go I'm all set one of the

most frustrating things about this

coronavirus and cover 19 situation is

that you don't really know what to do

you don't really know what works there's

no solution besides really staying home

and trying to avoid public places and

building up your immune system and

that's really what I've been trying to

do just building up my immune system so

I've always tried to stay really healthy

as you guys know if you follow me for a

while so these are the vitamins that I

take every single day regardless of the

situation that we have right now I put

them all separated in this little thing

here you know so I take one fish oil

glutamine I take this is collagen pills

for your for your skin and then I take

this multivitamin here by optimal

nutrition and has a plethora of vitamins

that you need every single day all right

so I take this every single day and then

these is just something that I'm taking

extra because of what's happening right

now so I take this emergency packet

right now and this one is vitamin C

vitamin D and zinc for to build up my

immune system

I take oregano oil I'm not sure if a

regular oil helps or not but I've heard

good things about it from from a lot of

people so you know what I'm gonna take

it just in case and then I take this

herbal little droplets as well that I

got from Whole Foods that I thought was

really good and it has a

of different benefits here so this is

what I've been taking pretty much every

single day just the Stratus just to try

to stay healthy all right because the

chances are if you get this thing you

need to be healthy to beat it and if I

get it

hopefully I'll be ready all right guys

so this is the protein shake that I

drink twice a day you guys have seen it

before

this recipe here doesn't really fail me

it's my favorites I've tried other

fruits I've tried different things but I

always keep coming back to this it is

just three frozen strawberries a bunch

of frozen blueberries and then some

vegan protein Vega one the vanilla

yep the vanilla flavored one and this is

it that's it and then water it's so good

obviously don't need ice because the

fruit is frozen so that acts as ice and

it's so tasty and healthy now I'm not

saying that you need to be taking all of

these vitamins every day but if I can do

anything to be as healthy as possible

then right now is the time to do it

statistically speaking I would survive

this and I'd be okay after the 10 14

days of being sick but the symptoms of

this virus are terrible from what I

understand I'm talking sore throat

coughing heavy chest trouble breathing

diarrhea I mean why would I want that

right so that's why I'm trying my best

to be as healthy as possible during

these weird times by the way guys if

you're gonna take oregano oil it is

absolutely disgusting you should always

drink something else that tastes good

right after because it is so bad but I

think it's good for you

[Music]

after all that it is time for my shower

I've been taking nice long showers I've

been thinking a lot about life lately

just because this situation is

definitely insane so I like to ponder

and try to have some positive thoughts

in the shower try to be productive with

my mind while I'm showering then it's

time to get ready I do my skincare

routine which consists of me washing my

face with this brush right here from

Clinique then I moisturize with the

screen from Tom Ford which is my

favorite moisturizer right now it is so

good so hydrating and soothing and then

after I do my skincare it's time to

finally make my hair look good because I

don't know if you noticed but it said

I'm not having a good hair day today so

here's a sneak peek of the new Forte

serious argan oil which will be out soon

this thing smells incredible I'm talking

the best scent in any hair oils that

I've ever tried alright we made sure of

that all you need is a little tiny bit

spread it all over your hair for silky

smooth hair style and then you're gonna

get rid of any frizz 2x as a heat

protectant it is a great oil

I blow-dry my hair into shape then I

applied the Forte series texture clay as

you know this clay has insane hold so it

stays up all day long

hold on this product as you probably

know is insane as you can see if I want

to put my hair all the way up it's gonna

done someone get this day started then

you know what I like to sit in a nice

bright room in my house to get my work

done I just feel more productive that

way I usually light up a candle so that

my place can smell great while I work

and this tobacco patchouli candle right

here I'll list it in the description

below it is one of my favorite candles

of all time it smells so good

you

oh yeah guys I have a lot of work to do

on my laptop which is good because I can

work from home that's how I've pretty

much always done it so not much has

changed in my routine

besides I work out from home I try to

stay a very healthy extra healthy I keep

my hand sanitizer next to me at all

times just because if there's a packages

coming in I have foods being delivered

for any reason the first thing I do

right after I get it is wash my hands

apply some hand sanitizer and it's just

a good feeling to know that you're clean

I've been keeping my place extra clean

as well I know that has really not much

to do with the virus but I'm spending a

lot more time at home

so vacuuming cleaning making sure that

I'm just infecting everything and just

living a cleaner lifestyle even though

I've always been pretty organized and

pretty clean and then I always keep this

handy as well I was lucky I got a couple

of masks only two but still on Amazon

right when this all started to happen

this mask is great it has filters and I

got actually a lot of different filters

for this mask so it goes on like this

I'm no scientist I'm no doctor I don't

know what the efficacy of masks is going

to be or gloves you know but I do know

that I'm gonna try my best to stay

healthy and safe so I haven't been

leaving my house I've been home as much

as possible but I do wear masks and

gloves when I go to the grocery stores

now I don't know where you live but here

in LA grocery stores are kind of wild

right now there's not a lot to buy no

meat no water no cleaning supply is

definitely no hand sanitizer so it's

been tough but I try to go every two to

three days just to see what's available

and I try to buy only what I know that

I'm gonna eat and need so if you're

buying twelve years worth of toilet

paper supply screw you you shouldn't be

doing that I don't panic just buy what

you need guys make sure to stay safe

make sure to stay healthy that's the

most important thing that you can do

right now to beat this thing and stay

home alright don't don't give it to

other people don't go passing it on to

other people who don't want it

my mom is old my dad is getting old

please let's let's save our parents here
