Not sure how many of you guys out there are big Adam Ruins Everything fans but I love it.
Was watching the episode “Adam Ruins Art” and this bit just hit me like a ton of bricks.
Keep creating, my friends. 🙂💗
THIS IS MY FAVORITE ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING EPISODE OF ALL TIME AND I URGE ALL YOU ARTISTS TO SEE IT
[rain pouring] [thunder rumbling] [car horn blaring] “go on. wheyyyyyyy!! Oh no.” [in distance: “YOU IDIOT”, uproarious laughter] “why would you go through that. what are you doing. ahhh no, he’s actually floating!” “well of course he is. what a fucking bellend!” “what a knobhead!” “fucking hell.”
Tiffany Haddish getting drunk and telling the story of Rose Valland, an art curator who recovered stolen art from the Nazis during WWII, is everything I’ve never thought I needed in life. Someone PLEASE make this a regular thing with her. I guarantee our children and we, as a society, would learn more from her valuable teachings. [Full video here]
I play with yoga asana and bodyweight exercises to create multipurpose mobility routines which combine flexibility training and strength building.
The How: 1. First, if you don’t have access to a gym or studio space, find a hallway. Use that.
2. Starting in a standing position, fold forward from the hips, hands to the floor or as close as possible with straight legs or with a soft bend depending on flexibility.
3. Keeping the abs engaged, walk the hands forward as far as possible until you feel the abs bracing to hold you up. Challenge your core and arms and walk past that comfortable point. Then walk your feet in, keeping the legs as straight as possible by walking through the ankles and feet. Point, flex, point, flex your feet as close to the hands without bending the knees.
4. Repeat until you get to the end of the hall.
5. Reverse your way back down the hallway leading with the feet then walking the hands to the feet. All the same rules apply. Do not moonwalk the hands to the feet. Pick up and put down the hands.
6. Repeat until you can’t do anymore. Seriously.
The Benefits: This exercise will increase back body flexibility by stretching the lower back muscles hamstrings and glutes by performing uttanasana (the forward bend) while strengthening the hand and wrists, the muscles in the arms, shoulders, chest, back and the entire core (abdominals, obliques, erectus spinae) performing the walkouts.
No equipment needed and no excuses accepted. You may not have a gym membership, but you definitely have a floor. The more these are performed, the stronger you become, the further out you will be able to walk and the more flexible the back body will become. Trust me.
My doggo, Ezri, who rarely barks and mostly borks.
When I got her, she’d been abused and would cower and pee at almost everything, and had been mistreated when she’d barked, so she never would. One day months after I had her she got excited on a walk and borked at a bird, and then immediately cower-peed. I had to re-teach her to bark by gathering her whole human pack and having everyone bark and howl and feed her treats and pet her till she got excited enough to join in, and then got more treats. Took a while but I was able to teach her to bork on command (and she’s gotta be excited or she just stares at me like “Sorry, the bork system needs charging”) and she’ll do it happily when she’s excited to go for a walk or upon seeing a friend, and at birds. I love her croaky borking, especially when she started off terrified of making a joyful noise.
