Q: What is the RudeBody?
RudeBody is a patent-pending exercise framework. the RudeBody framework includes an intervalized, slow, and engaged core body and upper body workout that you can perform almost anywhere, to get leaner and stronger, in less than an hour each week.
Q: How much time will my RudeBody take?
about 5 minutes at a time, 2 or 3 times per week. surely you have five minutes to spare, no?
Q: For serious?
yes. five or so minutes, two or three times each week, is an excellent start to getting you leaner and stronger. you’ll strengthen your core and upper body muscles, and do so slowly, and in control. you can always put more time into your fitness as available with additional cycles.
Q: How can I RudeBody?
watch some RudeBody shorts. if you want, watch the slow & detailed & long RudeBody welcome workout. both are available on the RudeBody.com homepage or at www.youtube.com/BodyByRude/movies
premium feature-length RudeBody workouts are available for as little as $2 for a three-day all-access premium pass; click here for premium RudeBody workouts.
Q: Do I have to pay for RudeBody?
RudeBody shorts and the RudeBody welcome workout are complimentary, and you may watch and follow along with them to your heart’s content. access to full-length RudeBody workouts is available for a premium.
Q: How much for my RudeBody?
three levels of access are available for premium RudeBody workouts:
a three-day RudeBody pass is available for just two dollars. this will get you access to all of the currently-posted full-length premium RudeBody workouts. watch and join as you will for three days for just two dollars. reasonably, that will get you two full-length RudeBody workouts of your choosing and a day off in-between. this is a suggested course. less reasonably, it will get you three consecutive days of full-length RudeBody workouts, of your choosing. if you don’t have some degree of confidence, after three days, that RudeBody will work with you, then that didn’t cost you so much. if it helps you find a workout framework that will work into your life, then that would be a nice bonus.
a monthly subscription is only five dollars a month. that’s a lot of potential workouts for five dollars.
a full-year pass to RudeBody is available for thirty-eight dollars. that’s a full year of access to all of the full-length RudeBody workouts from Season 1, at your leisure / pleasure.

Q: What kind of credentials does RudeBody have?
many years of working on core body and upper body workouts, crafting what has become the RudeBody exercise framework; collegiate track school records; multiple Ironman triathlons; swims in open water; runs up and around mountains; ice hockey championships; two-wheeled adventuring; and a zest for good fitness, for starters.
Q: Who brought RudeBody to life?
RudeBody is brought to you by inTents mEdia groUp inCorporated, a Delaware company, and an independent production company.
Q: Will RudeBody get me huge?
it’s unlikely. RudeBody is designed neither to maximize your muscle mass nor to make you huge; if you want that, you’ll likely have to spend way more than an hour a week working on it. rather, RudeBody is designed to get you leaner and stronger, in a slow and engaged way.
Q: Why should I try RudeBody?
it is thought that RudeBody can potentially be helpful in expanding ways to be just a little healthier or stronger or leaner or more engaged or more thoughtful about some decision reflecting upon health and wellness, among others.
Q: Come again?
well, it is thought and hoped that some one or more may find in RudeBody something that works well with you, and portions of which may be implemented into an extant, or not yet, workout regimen that you will actively do because it’s effective, short, balanced, flexible, modular, and intervalized.
Q: Why intervals?
intervals are kind of amazing. they supercharge your workouts. two workouts will be contrasted. first will be a walk/jog/run of about 45 minutes. maybe a first portion is taken a little slower as a warm-up, maybe not, or maybe something in the middle. what about the finish? likely around the same pace as the rest of the (post warm-up) walk/run – that pace at which you walk/run when you’re walking/running for 45 minutes. quasi slow and steady. ok, that’s the first workout, and many people do this workout.
alternatively, with RudeBody intervals: breaking your 45 minutes into intervals, you might envision three walking/jogging/running/anything intervals of about ten minutes each, interspersed with maybe two RudeBody cycles. take the first interval as something of a warm-up, or do a real warm-up, and go a little bit faster during successive activity intervals. your second interval should be at a somewhat faster/harder pace than your first, and the third just a little harder than the second. in between intervals, spend five or eight or three minutes performing a slow and engaged RudeBody core body and upper body workout. you’ll rest and recover somewhat from the faster-paced interval while strengthening your core. and, on the intervals following RudeBody cycles, you’ll feel your core body and upper body and you’ll know that your RudeBody workouts are being effective.
a personal favorite workout is slightly longer, maybe an hour and fifteen minutes or so. enough for a warm-up interval, three or so post-warm-up intervals, and RudeBody cycles in-between the activity intervals. you can crank a little during those activity intervals, in a steady and engaged way, with the constant goals of improving your form/efficiency and of finishing faster than you start. to clarify some, on the activity intervals (walking/running/etc) it can be helpful to end each activity interval faster than you started (called a negative split); on the RudeBody cycles, it’s often helpful to finish the core body and upper body exercises slower than you started. feel free to email, etc. with additional questions!
Q: What other tips does RudeBody have for me?
many.
how about diet, as in the food you take in. like most other things, moderation should be a cornerstone of diet. attempt to maximize the food you eat that’s natural and minimize the food you eat that comes in packaging. for starters. for a small but telling test, try, for a one week period, saving all food packaging you/your family go through; examine at the end of the week. see if your habits, as you go and after, don’t start to alter.
how about exercise, as in how active you are through the week. walk more. bike more. hike more. jog/run more. work out more. stand more. drive less. sit less. even a short activity interval every now and again will get your metabolism going and your muscles working. throw in one or more RudeBody cycles every now and then and work your muscles in a balanced and focused way, in just a few minutes. if you can, do some type of exercise a couple days a week. almost anything really.
Q: What about all those fast/all-out/insane/crazy/pho-military style workouts?
be careful. many of today’s popular workout programs seem to focus excessively on fast-twitch muscle movements and very rapidly loading and unloading your joints and muscles. while such actions can be effective in the short term (as can maxing out your muscles, doing hard sprints, anything in which you’re pushing the boundaries of failure), they tend to have unacceptably high risk for their respective rewards. RudeBody takes a longer-term view of fitness and your health and well-being. it is about creating a workout regimen to which you may reach or return at any interval you find effective, and is designed to help get you stronger and leaner while being smart and thoughtful about your efforts. ultimately, to help you craft a workout that will work for you, not just today and tomorrow but for quite a long time, it is hoped.
Q: Anything else I should know for now?
yes.
