Episode 77 – “Greasing the Groove (with Frostner)”Hey friends, it’s Rudy—and Frostner chiming in too. She starts with a purr. Mmm. This week I reflected on my early gym days, starting out in high school with workout buddies, chasing gains, reading Flex Magazine, and loving the world of bodybuilding. But I’m realizing how much that culture also fed into body dysmorphia and a mindset that wasn’t always healthy.After my recent health scare at the Y, I’ve been shifting gears. I’m exploring Pavel’s “grease the groove” method—short, frequent movements instead of pushing to exhaustion. It fits with how I work at the Y, constantly demonstrating and staying lightly active throughout the day.I’ve started to value strength as something functional and shared, not just aesthetic. That shift has brought me more joy and fulfillment, especially when I help others connect with their bodies through movement.I’m also feeling grateful: for the support from the Y community, for friends showing up, for getting to be around comics I admire, and for opportunities like MC’ing at Oregon Country Fair. If you’re going through something—physically or emotionally—please take care of yourself. You’re on my team. And I hope you know I’m on yours.Find me, Rudy Tyburczy, on TikTok @jokesandthegym Youtube @jokesandthegym www.rudytyburczy.com ig @jokesandthegym and @rudytyburczy and @rudyandthecats Facebook, Twitter, they also exist.
