Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy

Just a quick episode talking about one simple thing we can do to help ourselves when we're not feeling our absolute best. No need to kick and scream, just...get to bed. Earlier. It feels good.

Why do you work out?

In this episode of Jokes and the Gym, I’m thinking about motivation - what actually gets people moving and keeps them coming back. As a personal trainer, I see it all the time: people show up not wanting to work out, and by the end they’re saying, “I didn’t really want to come in today, but I’m really glad I did.”

I talk about the different reasons people exercise - internal drive, social connection, training for a goal, or simply wanting to feel better. For me, movement has always helped “keep my head on straight,” and I believe my decades of strength training played a big role in helping me recover from my brain tumor ordeal last year.

I also share a quick update about my upcoming Tumor Humor show at the Eugene Art House on May 22.

Check in with yourself, somehow. See what it tells you. And maybe listen to the pod.

In this episode, I ask a simple question, "What's the LEAST you can do?" and explore how that might be the best option sometimes. I got an MRI today so I'll leave it at that! Hope you're good!

In this shorter episode, I talk about a few ways to make restrictions work for you, instead of against you. By this I mean things like, how can you make a lack of time or equipment inspire your workout instead of hold you back? 

Give it a listen and let me know what you think!

In this episode, I ask the question, "What ONE THING can you do right now to help you get where you want to be?" and go from there. I talk about the one things I do in health, in comedy, in performing, and I share a couple short clips from the show I was a part of on Valentine's Day at the Eugene Art House, produced by friend of the show Jorah Lafleur. It was fun! This episode was fun! Thanks for checkin it out!

On this episode, I give you permission to NOT WORK OUT! It's okay. You can do it (or not!)! But just, like, do it most of the time you're planning to. There's a lot of great reasons to workout, and there are some legitimate reasons to not work out also. If it's one of those reasons, or you just need a break  feel free to not work out. But, I'll also see you at the gym when you're ready to get back at it.

Episode 110 is about how I approach low-energy workout days in real time. After a less than stellar night of sleep, I talk through why it’s okay to skip a workout if it’s not going to add to your life, and how, when you do move, it doesn’t have to be intense to be worthwhile. I share why I’m choosing to work out with a friend, focus on movement over load, and keep the session shorter and more intentional, with the goal of feeling more alive rather than more drained. The episode reflects a bigger shift I’m making around energy, capacity, and letting go of all-or-nothing thinking - whether that means doing a lighter workout, going for a walk, or simply giving myself 20 minutes to do something that fills my bucket instead of emptying it.

In this episode, I break down how I would build one simple strength-training workout that works for most people - no bodybuilding goals, no heroic suffering, no gym intimidation required. Just a simple outline coming from a personal trainer who wants to help people move and feel better.

Using the six basic movement patterns (push, pull, carry, squat, hinge, lunge), I let you know how to choose a few exercises, keep the reps reasonable, and train in a way that supports your body and your brain. 

I also ask AI to create a beginner workout and explain why consistency, form, and “helpful not impressive” effort matter more than lifting heavy.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the gym, burned out by fitness culture, or unsure where to start, this episode offers a calm, realistic approach to getting stronger - one that fits into real life.

In this episode I talk about who I am, what I savor, recovery, capacity, and learning to do less after a brain tumor and seizure shifted my relationship to work, comedy, and stress. This episode is about nervous system care, changing relationships with the things you love, and finding small ways to rest and refill in a burned-out world. Don't expect a bunch of specific tips or whatever, but more of an exploration of what doing less can look like. And I chuck in a couple micro movie reviews, because of course I do.
