11. After I do my 3 miles in the morning after 18 hour fast, I try to get in 20 pushups after I have my hard boiled egg.

As I am moving from the last push up, I keep moving the upper part of my body until I am curled up and my chin can touch both kneecaps. I hold that for about 30 seconds and then I can just get up without using my hands. Before I started doing that it was hell for me to get up off the floor.
