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.

Sounds like a very solid plan Lyn! 🧡

If You have time to incorporate a few more exercises here is what i would do:

keep your Pushups

add some type of Rowing movement

TRX / Ring Row / db Rows / bb Rows

add an Overhead press either db or bb

and a Lat pull down / pullups (assisted / bw / weighted)

keep the Squats (maybe alternate between back and front squats)

and the Deadlifts

next two are optional if You feel extra energized that day:

Kettlebell swings

db walking lunges

___

If You are short on time superset the exercises i put together 👊🏼

Do this workout 2 to 3 times a week with enough rest days in bewteen.

Do 3-4 sets of each exercise with 2 minutes rest in between sets.

Rep range depends on your goal

Do You want to get more stamina?

Do You want to build muscle?

Do You want Strength, Power, Explosivity?

Hope that helps! Feel free to try and see if You liked it. Also everyone in the comments that wants to try something new 🙌🏻💯
