CPK Fitness 365

FitTip #273: Cold Brew is better than regular ice coffee. It’s like having the option of extra cheese on your nachos. Of course it’s better and if you don’t agree you’re lying and have never tried it before.

FitTip #204: Nothing tastes better than watching your rival team lose. How delicious victory is. Sports is the one arena where pettiness can satisfy your hunger.

FitTip #139: If 70% of your immune system is related to your digestive system, then it’s very important we continue the discussion about poop. Seriously, gut healthy and what happens in the bathroom can make or break your long-term health.

FitTip #362: Don’t cheap out on beer. There are so many great tasting beers that only cost a a few dollars more than what you use to drink to get on all those college nights you don’t remember.

FitTip #37: Just like how snickers commercials advertise eating a snickers if you’re hungry, if you’re having a bad day, go exercise. Let your mind be free and get some energy and stress out. Often times your mind can gain some clarity after and you’ll feel better without the urge to physically harm someone. If this continues, please seek professional help.

FitTip #336: Good conversation is just as healthy as a good workout.

FitTip #167: Old is a mindset. Your body may age, but your mind can stay fit for as long as you believe.

FitTip #243: If you dap it up with a naked man twice your age in the locker room and neither of you bat an eye, you’ve each achieved a special level of IDGAF. This applies to women too.

FitTip #28: Don’t wait until the new year to start getting fit. That’s what most people do and they fail. Start now, and don’t look back. Don’t do it for the new year, do it for you

FitTip #101: There is no such thing as Male and Female exercises. Men could use more flexibility from yoga. Women could use more strength from weight lifting. Both will improve your sex lives. You’re welcome.

FitTip #77: Instead of going out to a bar on a Friday night, try a new gym or exercise location. The bar will always be open after anyway

FitTip #246: If you are feeling hungry, it’s either because of 3 things: 1. You are 2. You are bored 3. You are not accepting of your food obsession Hormones matter too, because we all know how hungry you can get when in your feelings.

FitTip #173: Craving something late night?! Try just drinking water, you could just be dehydrated.

FitTip #320: Don’t think of working out as punishment for eating something “not healthy”. Think of working out as the reward! You ate some celery, congrats, time to workout! You ate an entire pizza to your face, congrats, it’s time to work that off! What’s the narrative you tell yourself daily? If pizza isn’t always a reward, you’re doing it wrong.

FitTip #207: Even if you don’t feel 100%, go workout. The habit of exercise is more important than the act itself.

FitTip #359: If you enjoy eating, try eating to one of your favorite hype songs. You’ll never experience a more enjoyable meal. It’s what the kids would call LIT.

FitTip #115: If sleep is the cousin of death, then obviously sleep has never done burpees or went for a new PR. Sleep matters, just do it.

FitTip #49: Don’t put more money in to your car than your body. You’re suppose to be the machine people want to ride. Unless your car actually needs it. Don’t go riding around with no oil and stuff like that.

FitTip #294: Waking up early reminds you why you need to go to sleep earlier if you don’t already, because you wake up like the walking dead the next morning. And we all know how terrifying real zombies are.

FitTip #330: The only thing more dangerous than cocaine is taking two scoops of pre-workout on an empty stomach. Not that I know from experience, but sometimes you hear things that just make sense.

FitTip #6: There is no such thing as the “best” day to workout a certain body part/muscle group. However, there is a “best” training style for your individual goals. And no matter what that is, strength training should always be part of it.

FitTip #78: Brush your teeth every time you feel you want to snack at home. This way you’ll feel less inclined to eat. We all know what that mint-y flavor tastes like trying to eat something and it completely destroys the entire flavor. Also, who doesn’t love fresh smelling breath?

FitTip #206: Regular sauna use can help cleanse & detox the body of toxins while aiding in recovery by stimulating the lymphatic system. And for men, this can mean a boost in testosterone production, so don’t just think spa time is for the ladies, bro’s.

FitTip #317: Barbells before the bar is just as good advice as liqueur before beer. Try going for a new PR already 6 beers deep and tell me how you feel and if you died.

FitTip #58: HotPot is comfort food for the soul. If anyone says it’s not good for you, they aren’t good for you. It’s simple math actually. The quickest way to lose weight is to lose negative people.

FitTip #116: It’s not that eating Girl Scout cookies are bad for your health. They support a good cause, which is good for the soul, which is good for your health. See, problem solved! Not your fault they’re absolutely f***king delicious.

FitTip #348: Veterans will always have a strength that is unmatched. It’s something we can all learn from.

FitTip #241: Another reason why food is your best friend. If you eat too much of it at one time, it will put you in a food coma so you can sleep. It will even give you a food baby, because food doesn’t discriminate, it loves all. See, it’s only here to help!

FitTip #82: When someone is wearing a hat in the gym with the visor in front, this is code for “Don’t F**king talk to me”

FitTip #236: If you haven’t exercised for an extended period of time, it’s going to suck starting again. It’ll hurt and make you question your existence. That’s just life testing you to see if you want to continue. Keep going.

FitTip #60: If wine is made from grapes, and grape juice is for kids, technically kids can drink wine because it’s healthy! Does this make sense? Of course not, do people say crazy things to themselves to rationalize decision making? Yup. Stop that ish.

FitTip #353: If beer was the first thing you had to eat for the day, remember, it’s a carbohydrate. Throw in some bacon and eggs and voila! A balanced meal of carbs, fat, and protein!

FitTip #288: Enjoy being able to walk, some people have no legs. Enjoy being able to eat, some people don’t have access to food abundance. Enjoy being able to have the freedom to be in shape or not, some people have given their lives so you can have that choice.

FitTip #214: Taking a hot shower or bath are two undervalued recovery methods to use. Feeling clean, hygienic, and refreshed can instantly make you feel better physically and mentally.

FitTip #264: If you’ve been sitting down for a while, get up and walk around. It’s not good to have your butt fall asleep, people should fall asleep on your butt.

FitTip #179: If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re tired, sleep. If you want to be strong, exercise. Sometimes the things our bodies want and need the most are the simplest. We just over complicate these things. Make the time for yourself or know one else will.

FitTip #34: Including more fiber in your diet can help control hunger and support weight loss. Complete digestion in the GI Tract is generally 12-24 hours. In the US that jumps to 72 hours. So if you feel consistently bloated, you are quite literally full of .

FitTip #238: Going to an all you can eat buffet is a mental workout. Just when you think you can’t have one more plate, you can push yourself to finish another. Now if you just put this mentality to good use with exercise then more people would look at you like a buffet.

FitTip #100: What do parents often times tell their kids? Do your homework, to get good grades, and good grades will help you graduate. Well, taking that same logic... Do your exercise, to get strong, and getting strong will help you change your body and feel sexy AF

FitTip #319: It’s okay if you emotionally eat for a night because tomorrow is a new day to pretend it never happened. If you don’t tell anyone, or post about it, did it really happen after all?

FitTip #111: Learn from the past, plan for the future, and take action now! Wishing for the best and working toward your best are two completely different things.

FitTip #208: Drinking water before bed helps with overall hydration and with smooth bathroom visits the next morning. And if you didn’t already know that morning poops are the best poops then I’m so sorry, you’re missing out.

FitTip #258: The best benefit of intermittent fasting is having two servings of dinner & dessert as long as it fits your eating window. Permission for seconds is always granted.

FitTip #196: You can’t help fight world hunger if you can’t help fight your own hunger.

FitTip #98: Fitness doesn’t care that it’s the weekend or not, but your bank account does. Heavy lifting with your wallet can be more painful than with weights. One can break your back, and the other has to pay for your broken back. Save and invest in yourself, because only you can love you like you.

FitTip #250: Wearing a matching gym outfit when exercising automatically causes weight loss, fat loss, and muscle gain. If you don’t believe this then you obviously don’t do it and that’s why you could be struggling with your body composition.

FitTip #345: If you think running on a stairmaster is hard work, try running steps at a stadium. Booty on fire for a crowd to see.

FitTip #261: You never know how much you need sleep until you actually get a full 7-9 hours of sleep after days without it. Do that more.

FitTip #12: Just like you would schedule a doctor appointment or car maintenance, schedule your workouts at the beginning of the week. This way you can stay better committed to them and be able to plan around them accordingly.

FitTip #133: If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. Change is the only thing that’s constant in life so just embrace every challenge, fail as much as possible, and never quit. Your body is a lifelong partner, not just there for a few months in the summer.

FitTip #89: Unless it’s 5 minutes after you’ve eaten, and you’re not just bored with nothing to do, if you feel hungry, you should eat something. Our bodies know when and what they need. Don’t overthink this too much. If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re not, don’t.
