The Algorithm Now Wants Me to Do 16 Morning Movements

Okay I’m one week in of my two week experiment of doing what TikTok tells me.

Maybe you’ll recall that’s basically the 30-30-30 thing, the nine morning movements, and an after-dinner walk.

I’m happy to report that I’ve done some combination of these most days — the morning movements, 30g of protein at breakfast, 30 minutes of morning cardio, and an after-dinner walk.

All the walking is pretty familiar. I’ve got a dog, after all, and Cheddar loves an after-dinner walk. The morning cardio is also part of my usual routine, since I usually bike to work or go to the gym.

Thirty grams of protein has made me more mindful of breakfast choices. Lots of my usual go-tos fall short and so this has been a good reminder.

The most surprising thing is how good the morning movement routine feels. It’s energizing. I’m ignoring the woo talk that comes attached to all of it.

But the upshot is that my feed is now full of morning movement routines — and the number of movements keeps climbing. This one’s 16! (Ignore the weight loss messaging,  please.)
