Regimen: a regulated course, as of diet, exercise, or manner of living, intended to preserve or restore health or to attain some result.

In Andy McNab’s bestseller Bravo Two Zero, a book about a famous British SAS mission in Iraq, the commandos use the term “hard routine” to describe their mindset, focus, and seriousness when at work. When they step into an actual mission, crossing the line of departure, they say that they go on the “hard routine.” From that moment on, the rules are strict, the focus is singular, and all available resources are brought to bear with an intensity that is necessary for success. When they’re on the hard routine, there is no room for selfishness, indulgence, compromise, or distraction. CrossFit Journal, Issue 69
