regimen

Prescribed daily plan

A regimen is a systematic plan or routine, especially one designed to improve health or achieve a specific goal: a strict exercise regimen, a skincare regimen, a regimen of vitamins and supplements.

The word implies discipline and regularity—following a regimen means sticking to a prescribed course of action over time.
