So yesterday I stumbled on Savannah Wheeler’s training video while scrolling Instagram, right? Saw her doing these intense drills and talking about her meals, and I thought why not try copying her routine for a day. Could be fun, maybe even get some gains. Here’s exactly how it went down, step by step.
Morning Warm-up Disaster
Jumped outta bed at 6AM feeling all motivated, tried her “explosive wake-up drill” she mentioned. Big mistake. Did 10 minutes of high-knee sprints in my tiny living room like she does on court. Smacked my toe sideways into the sofa leg, saw stars for a solid minute. Hobbled around muttering swear words while making coffee. Her tip? “Stay light on your feet.” Yeah, okay Savannah.
Breakfast Ain’t No Joke
Whipped up her signature post-warmup meal: egg white scramble with spinach and avocado. Looked easy on video. Reality? Burned the eggs, undercooked the spinach. Ate it anyway choking down that weird green mush. Tasted like grass clippings but I shoved it in thinking “This is what champions eat!”
The Actual Workout Struggle
Took my sad self to the gym around 9AM. Copied her pyramid shooting drill exactly:
- Corner shots first: Missed 9 outta 10. Ball kept bouncing off the rim like it hated me.
- Dribble-weave cones: Tripped over my own feet twice. Left ankle still kinda sore.
- Defensive slides: Felt like a crab with arthritis. Lasted 3 minutes before quitting.
Sweat through my whole shirt though, so guess that counts? Her “smooth transitions” my butt – felt like a truck hit me after 45 minutes.
Lunch Disaster Round Two
Tried her “muscle-building salmon bowl” recipe. Salmon skin stuck to the pan like glue. Ended up with half fish, half charcoal scrapings. Mixed it with rice and broccoli anyway. Took like thirty minutes forcing that dry mess down with water. Kept picturing Savannah’s perfect Instagram bowl and laughed at my sad kitchen skills.
Evening Recovery Mess
Her bedtime routine includes foam rolling and stretching. Thought “How hard can rolling on the floor be?” Found out. Hit a knot in my calf that made me yelp like a scared puppy. Tried holding her cobra yoga pose – back popped louder than bubble wrap. Passed out at 9PM feeling ninety years old.
Big Takeaway
Woke up today walking like a zombie. Everything hurts. Realized Savannah’s routine works ’cause she’s built different. Normal people? We gotta start way slower. Still proud I tried every single thing though – gonna attempt just the shooting drills next week. Maybe skip the charcoal salmon.
