The daily routines of a sportswoman.
Janet is an athlete, and she wakes up at 4:30 am every weekday morning. She spends the
first 30 minutes reading and then 15 minutes meditating. At 5:15 am Janet checks her email for
only 30 minutes and then goes for her first run of the day. She runs for an hour and a half along
the lake near her house. After running, Janet has a shower and then prepares breakfast, which is
usually cereal and fruit. However, she occasionally has a less healthy breakfast.
She usually finishes breakfast at around 8 am. If it is a weekday, she always leaves the
house at 8:20 and goes to training. Her training starts at 9 am, and she needs 30 minutes to drive
to the gym. She trains for 3 hours with her team and then goes home for lunch. She always eats a
very big and healthy lunch. As soon as she finishes lunch, she has a nap for one hour.
After her nap, she likes to go for a walk around the lake and look at nature. She sometimes
reads or meditates at the lake in the afternoon. In the evening, during the week, she meets up
with friends. Most of her friends are athletes too, so they have a lot to talk about.
She typically goes to bed at 9 pm because she prefers to be awake in the morning than at
night. She sometimes falls asleep listening to music, but she never watches the television or reads
anything on her tablet. She always makes sure her alarm is set and is almost always asleep by 9:45
pm.
