In Stoic and Hellenic thought, a disciplined start was believed to lead to a virtuous day. So begin each morning with a practice that strengthens both body and mind.

Activities could include going for a walk, a run, or engaging in calisthenics (from the ancient Greek "kilos sthenos", or "beautiful strength") exercise like pushups or situps.

Physical fitness and athleticism were essential aspects of ancient Hellenic and Stoic culture and practice.
