So, you know how celebrities have these “day in the life” videos? The ones where they wake up at 4 a.m., do yoga on a mountaintop, drink green juice that probably tastes like lawn clippings, and then, like, conquer the world before lunch? Yeah, I thought I’d try that. For a week.

I picked Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. I mean, who doesn’t want to be The Rock? His routine involves: 4:00 a.m. Rise, cardio on an empty stomach, followed by an insane breakfast (steak, eggs, oatmeal…), then a multi-hour workout, promoting his various businesses, and spending quality time with his family. Daily.

The workout. Oh boy. I attempted his “Iron Paradise” workout (found online). I nearly threw out my back lifting weights a fraction of what he uses. My “personal trainer to the stars” on YouTube was yelling at me, and I’m pretty sure my neighbors thought I was dying. I spent the rest of the day icing various body parts.
