- Double chin usually doesn't get any love,
but today it's getting some Bretman Rock love.
- My skin is looking fantabulous.
- I was really frustrated with myself
for the things that my body can no longer do anymore.
I need to adjust to it,
and be happy about the things that it's able to do now.
- This is the ultimate challenge for this week.
I have to get at least one double under.
(upbeat music)
- I think Bretman is a wonderful example of someone
who's so in charge of their masculine and feminine energy,
that it's literally driving us all crazy.
- Bretman is lit and fly,
but he minds the business that pays him.
I'm really curious what I can learn
from Bretman's morning routine,
because Bretman's successful.
- All right, let's start the week.
- It's past seven, and it's day one.
I am just really enjoying my pillows.
We're working on that, but at least it's only 7:10.
- Do I look hot, like Bretman Rock does when he wakes up?
- When Bretman wakes up, gets off the bed,
and then opens his window.
- And he does it because he lives in Hawaii.
He has mountains and the sun,
but I live in the Bronx, and when I open my bedroom window
there's another building.
- Bretman's next step is to make his bed.
Let's adjust them right now.
I just realized nowhere in Bretman's morning routine
includes a hot cup of Joe.
I can already feel it.
I am in withdrawal, and it's only morning one.
- The first thing Bretman does is wet his face,
or wash his face with cold water,
and then warm water to like, open the pores,
and invite in the products.
- Cold, cold water is on.
- Yeah. That'll wake you up.
- I have this tiny, cute, little Fenty skin cleanser.
- It's like, pink.
- Bretman said that he loves how creamy this is.
I think I do too.
- I totally get the cold water thing on the face now,
like, I feel so much more alert and awake.
- Oh, why am I enjoying this so much?
Oh yeah.
- He said not to like, go ham,
because you don't want to cause wrinkles.
Tapping and drying.
- Now we're ready for the fat water.
The thick water, the thick-ity-thick thick water.
- He said it's like, supposed to tighten your pores,
and add a level of hydration.
- I heard it smells like Barbados.
I mean, I've never been to Barbados,
so I don't know what I'm smelling for, but smells good.
- WOW, she is thick.
I've never tried this before,
but it kind of feels like lube.
- Just kind of pressing it into my skin.
- I feel like I'm just slapping myself, slap yourself awake.
- Then he does this spirit fingers thing.
- We're going to use the
Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer
with the Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen.
This is wonderful. I love that it has SPF in it.
I can see myself using this cream.
- Some brands of sunscreen aren't great
for people of darker skin tones,
I'll have a cast, all of a sudden it's like,
why does my face look blue?
Or like, white?
I don't see a cast. Yay.
- Time to roll it on my face.
- And I put it in my freezer so it's nice and cold.
- This is so soothing.
- The very last step,
some good old Vaseline on the lips.
I've been doing this since like, elementary school.
Okay. Now for coffee? I wish.
- I'm answering emails and like,
using this little face massager, so nice.
I never thought I can like mix work with pleasure,
but look at this.
- This is a lot of water,
so I'm going to cut up this lime and put it into the water,
cause I think it'll help me finish it.
Honestly, I don't know how the hell
I'm about to finish this.
- It's time to walk the dogs,
but I decided to change into my workout clothes
cause I know the workout is coming up next.
- Since I don't have a dog, I'm walking myself.
- I usually don't walk them in the morning,
my girlfriend does.
I don't remember walking them this early,
but it's been a nice treat.
- For my first workout I'm going to do
Bretman's Jumping to Conclusions Jump Rope Workout,
And we'll see how that goes.
(upbeat music)
- Today. I'm going to be focusing on chest.
I'm a little intimidated by his workout routine,
It's like extremely rigorous.
The first thing is just like, the normal pushup,
so I'm definitely going to be modifying.
Can't even go down that low.
- When you mess up you have to do three burpees,
which I'm not excited about.
- Up next is the diamond push-ups,
where you technically just put your hands like this,
and then you try and do a pushup.
I can barely do the regular ones,
but let's see how this goes.
Oh my God, I'm already sweating like crazy.
I've never spent so much time
focusing just on my chest, and arms.
- That was not a jump rope workout.
That was a burpee workout,
with some jump roping in between for cardio.
One minute double unders.
It's not happening.
This is the ultimate challenge for this week,
I have to go to at least one double under.
- When I was a little kid working out was always said,
as a form of punishment, mentally it's torture.
It can be fun, and I feel good after it,
and my endorphins are going,
I still have to deal with a lot of like,
personal fat phobia trauma that I've been dealing with
since I was a little kid.
- I don't understand the logic behind the gummy bears,
but I am all the way here for it.
- Got all my supplies for breakfast.
While the bacon is cooking,
I'm going to go ahead and make my shake.
I've never used protein in my life in a drink,
so I'm a little nervous about it.
- So, I caved and I put some coffee into my protein shake.
I just really needed some espresso. I needed some caffeine.
- The bacon (alarm beeping)
set off my fire alarm.
I'm putting a broom right next to it.
- This is probably the best breakfast I've had in a while.
- It's day two, and I don't know if my arm hurts
because of the pushups that I was doing?
It's not going to help me when I'm working out later.
- It feels like I'm throwing myself
into the deep end of the swimming pool.
- I always want to feel like I'm in a beauty commercial,
and like,
just splash it out,
but it never turns out like that.
- It's so gentle.
I think I like how you don't have to put a whole ton
to get your face nice and lathery.
- I think Bretman Rock's morning routine is flawed.
- Why am I doing my whole skincare routine
before working out?
Cause I would normally do the skincare after I work out.
- Work out first, walk the dogs, you shower,
and then you do your morning routine.
But if this is what Bretman Rock does, this is what I'll do.
- Now it's time for the spirit fingers.
- I'm still not used to spending so much time on myself.
Maybe every day should be a day where I treat myself,
and not just when I feel like I've accomplished something.
- I think this thing is banging.
This is awesome because my skin was looking so good
yesterday, before I even put on makeup on.
- This is my new favorite thing.
Almost forgot to moisturize my lips.
- I definitely made progress,
but I'm not trying to down it all right away
like I did yesterday.
- Because I don't walk my dogs in the morning,
it's usually something that my girlfriend does,
I don't really get to like, see the sun,
cause I work from home
so I spend most of my time in my home office.
Seeing the sun in the morning, it's really, really nice.
- Power walking with some weights,
and I'm about to do the chest workout.
This is going to be a challenge.
Let's just do it.
- Today is jump rope day,
which I'm actually really excited about
cause I haven't jump rope since I was in like,
middle school.
No, no, no, no, go over there.
Oh my God, the chair.
Jumping rope in a small apartment is a little scary.
(upbeat dramatic music)
- That was fun.
Oh, I messed up, so I'll have to do burpees.
What are burpees again?
- I love this part.
I kind of went ham yesterday, and finished my gummy bears.
So, today we're having portion control.
- I'm listening to my body,
I think my ankle said that was enough for today.
I'm sweating, and I'm excited, and I'm having fun,
it's the first time I don't feel irked by sweat,
so I think that's a good sign.
- I think part of what makes eggs taste so good
in this breakfast sandwich is that the eggs are kind of,
cooking in the bacon oil, so it's like, so much flavor.
Get into it.
- So I, (alarm beeping)
Oh my God. I can't do this every day.
Oh my God.
There's something about bacon
that just sets off my fire alarm.
It's very hard to enjoy this, the sandwich and the water.
Bon appetit.
Still no mountains.
- Got my pillows and such in order,
bed is basically made.
Been awake for two minutes, my skin is looking fantabulous.
Maybe all of the water I've been drinking,
and the Fenty skin, maybe it's already working?
Cause like, my skin looks so good right now.
- As a dry queen, I enjoy moisturizing,
and I can't get over how like, delicious this smells.
- It has limes, I added some chia seeds,
I'm starting to adapt Bretman's routine
to my lifestyle a little bit more today.
I'm drinking my water, and getting my stuff in order,
and then I'll work out,
and then I'll do the skincare routine.
- They see me on the floor,
and they think we're going to play.
Go mama, go.
I just watched Bretman Rock's Absolutely Not Workout,
and he's right, I'm absolutely not going to be doing that.
- I'm sure it's called Absolutely Not for a reason.
- I don't think I'm going to be able to survive them,
but it'll be fun to try.
- I don't, I can't even say anything else.
Let me just get into it.
31.
- A 60 second plank.
- Bretman's not playing at all with this workout.
It's a very short workout, but like, you feel it.
- I was looking at some of these workouts and I'm like,
I don't think I can do a plank.
I did a plank, at least my version of a plank,
and then I did a satisfied plan.
I'm kind of surprised at myself.
- I'm really trying to get the eggs and the breakfast in,
but I'm already two minutes away from a meeting.
You know, I want to make time for all of these things,
I think I might have to try waking up earlier.
- I did forget to eat gummies yesterday,
so I'm going to start with them while my bacon fries up.
I also have my broom ready,
just in case the alarm goes off again.
- It's not as pretty today.
I definitely was rushing it, but I want to get this down
so I can get into my meetings.
- Using the milk and the powder protein
made me feel like I was a baby, drinking baby formula,
so I'm going to do water,
hopefully it feels a little different.
For today I'm just going to have my water and the sandwich.
It is day four, and a Saturday.
So, I really want to sleep in.
- Besides the pimple cream situation,
cause you know I'm trying to handle my acne,
drinking more water, like,
- My girlfriend is having cereal for breakfast,
and I'm jealous.
- I love this part so much.
This is the ultimate like, easy self care.
- At the beginning of the week,
I was really frustrated with myself
for the things that my body could do,
and can no longer do anymore.
I need to adjust to it,
and be happy about the things that it's able to do now.
Today I definitely pushed myself a little bit further
than I did the days before.
So, that feels cool that I was able to like,
take my body to another limit.
- Bretman's dad passed away last year,
and my dad passed away a few months ago.
When I was watching Bretman's MTV reality show,
it's weird, a lot of the similarities,
what we've gained from our dads,
and like, the process of losing, and grieving.
Walking in nature like I am now,
I feel like that's part of the process.
- Definitely over slept today.
It is Sunday,
my girlfriend is still sleeping so I can't do the bed.
I'm just excited to get this over with.
- This is the day where I'm going to incorporate
a little bit of my lifestyle into the Bretman Rock routine,
and see how I can make things work.
- The splash of cold water on your face
will probably be the one thing that I will not pick up
from the Bretman Rock routine.
I feel like it's causing physical trauma to my body.
- Instead of walking, I'm running cause that's what I do.
Makes me happy.
- The dogs have learned that I spent the first half
of my morning taking care of myself.
They learned to just sit on the couch,
and wait for me until I'm done.
- So now, I'm going to attempt to do the jump rope
Jumping to Conclusions Workout again,
and hopefully not do as many burpees,
and be able to do the double under.
Now is the hard part,
I want to try and do the double unders,
I've been watching some videos on YouTube,
I am determined to get it at least once, just once.
I just want to get it once.
- Guess who jumped in my shower?
- I literally have to be in a meeting in like, five minutes,
so I'm really rushing this skincare routine.
- I did learn how to make bacon
without making the firearm alarm go off.
- I am running super late,
so I have a meeting going on here, and rolling my face.
- I never thought I'd say this,
but I'm actually tired of the bacon,
and I'm excited to have cereal tomorrow,
or something different.
- It's going to taste amazing,
but I am not going to miss all this oil.
Okay, this has to be my best one.
I got some guacamole on there, some Cholula,
I know it looks a little crazy,
but it's going to taste so good.
I really had a great time learning so much
from Bretman Rock.
- Starting the day properly for yourself
is a big change for me, and I think that that's something
I'm definitely going to include in my life.
- I think the cool thing
about trying other people's routines
is that you pick up some stuff that you can take,
that's going to make your life better,
and I definitely feel like I did that with Bretman Rock.
