My current health plan is:

-Eat real nutrient dense foods.

-Intermittent fast for 12–16 hours per day. Vibes based. And sometimes go multi-day.

-Go for long walks or bike rides in the sun daily. Touch grass and do stuff. Often you can combine this with business meetings.

-Sprint a couple times per week.

-Do cold plunges a couple times per week. Seriously, this seems easy to skip and it’s hard. But if you want to triple dopamine levels for the working day without later downsides, putting yourself in freezing water is the thing.

-Do some squats and pushups. And then deadlift your own body weight for several reps.

-Even then you’ll potentially fail. This isn’t one of those meme posts. I used to be utterly ripped in my competitive martial arts days in my late teens until my mid twenties. But then I got distracted, mainly due to a broken leg and lack of direction. Over the past several Covid years, I’ve weakened, and had trouble hiking mountains. I still have visible abs but they feel fake now. But I focus on a couple things amid my crazy work, which I have ingrained now. The first is intermittent fasting. It literally fixes all my other errors as a baseline. I can fuck up for a year and not gain weight because I only eat in 6 or 8 hour windows. Or even 10 hours. The rest of the time trains the body to burn fat. Next is I do a reasonable baseline of pushups, squats, and sprints per week. Nobody can make me choose to. It’s just my baseline. Last is I do a lot of squats and bicycling to keep my leg muscles interested, which have been mediocre. So if a new martial arts leader has a plan, I’m happy to listen.

I am doing most of the same routine, I promise you they are really good for your health, and I don’t have any belly anymore 😁

I’m no martial arts leader but kettlebells have a lot of bang for their buck- simple & sinister🤙🏼

Sounds very interesting. The fasting thing. How you get enough energy from food to train if body has to constantly deal with preping for fast? I do amateur level crossfit and without food I can't go.

Just curious but why such long fasting periods? Blood cleansing?

When do we get a video doing some martial arts? At this point I am expecting that your master Shifu beside training you went on about #BTC and sound money.

Impressive. I need to be more disciplined with diet and exercise. Thanks for sharing. Gives me motivation. 👍
Jeroen Ubbink · 77w
Sounds really good. I do most of these things too, most for several years, some more recent (a year or slightly more). I go to the gym a minimum of 2 (but striving for 3) times a week where i do full body one day and mostly bodyweight upper body the other. Third is mostly random but try to incorpor...

You are on a good trajectory. The appeal of intermittent fasting/proper food mix is you can screw up one day and it really doesn't matter. Just dust down and get back to it. Ideal :)

Sounds like a very good plan.

Fasting does wonders and has changed my level of focus. Established habits 👍

It’s a been of the same story here, having been very active in my youth, then slacked too much (sedentary work + all sports replaced by video-games), and now I’ve been as active as ever. So after my youth, when I started working, I went through ~10 years of low to no physical activities, which...

Simple #yoga Sun Salutations 5 Surya Namaskara A 5 Surya Namaskara B #Hatha or #Ashtanga versions. I prefer the latter, followed by the Ashtanga standing sequence, followed by 10 minutes in #meditation. Open the body. Twist and turn. Stretch and squeeze. Flex and extend. Link each movement with...

Hey Lyn, make sure your posture is perfect before loading your musculoskeletal system. Otherwise you only creat more imbalances and pain going forward. I highly recommend The Egoscue Method https://egoscue.com This book might as well change your life 😊 https://www.amazon.com/Pain-Free-Revised-Up...

Exactly, simple daily health small wins : eat real food, avoid seed oils, build lean body mass/resistance train, get out in nature, abundance mindset, build meaningful relationships, move your body, intermittent fast and your reward will be in your physical and mental health for many years !

Good plan, don't forget to train your abs, not for aesthetics but to support your spine during deadlifts.

My hack for exercise. I do VR games that make me move. A lot of moves. I added kickbox resistance straps which add strength training to the aerobic exercise and gaming it makes it fun instead of suffering.

Any recommendations on a cold plunge?
Galt 🦡 · 77w
This resonates. Things I gravitated to in the past few years: - Morning run 5/7 days; always outside, rain, sun, snow, doesn't matter - Vary the run; sometimes slow, sometimes faster, sometimes intervals; 30-50 minutes; nose breathing when the pace is slow - Intervals: used to Tabata style only but ...

Cold plunges are sooooo key

I've been following a similar plan... body turns into a fat burning machine! I also started eating sardines 💪👏 and infrared saunas
