Tim Spronk Training

100 days:

I just completed a 100 day practice, the requirements were simple, at least one set of Yang 108 and 12-15 minutes of standing meditation.

What have I learned:

You can always make time

People give space/ support for a challenge

All practice is good practice

It’s ok if it feels like hot garbage

Boy is it ever easy to lose track in the 108, especially with repetition

Doing it teaches something, whether you really pay attention or not.

Boredom is really painful emotionally, and useful

The rule of 3’s:
One workout makes you feel like a god, one is “meh” and one feels terrible.
If that’s not the case you’re working too hard (always feels bad,) too easy (always godlike) or too indifferent (meh.)
If you have questions, or need a hand building a good routine, hit me up. I love to share info and provide some motivation!

Eat less, move more…

Uh huh, sounds easy, why don’t we all do it?
The truth is we really don’t understand food in general. Eat less? Sure until you get hungry.
The enemy isn’t the food, it’s the convenience. The easiest foods to eat are the easiest to make and ship without spoiling. High sugar, high salt and heavily processed.
Start simple. Don’t snack, eat two or three times a day only. Drink water, tea or coffee (without additives) for the rest of the day. You’ll get enough in two or three meals.

One of the dudes I train with was off to compete in a Sambo tournament.
I wanted to wish him well, but “good luck” never sits well with me. “Break a leg” is a bit risky for an event that allows for leg locks and “merde” wouldn’t make any sense to him.
So I said “train hard, fight easy” and he smiled and happily acknowledged my intentions.
Because this is how life works, we don’t know when the hard stuff will happen. If you constantly practice challenge (strength training, conditioning etc…) the tough stuff starts to feel easier.
He won by the way. 👍congrats!

You are literally the centre of your life. Everything you do depends on you. Treating exercise as self care gives it permission to fall into the background.
If you are not moving your whole well being is affected. Tired, lethargic, feeling bad, etc, etc…
Treat moving as a fundamental part of your life, the stronger and more vibrant you are the better every thing else gets!
