Summary

In a recent podcast with David Redding (cofounder of F3 Fitness) we talked about an acronym that David came up with, CSAUP. These are workouts that are Completely Stupid And Utterly Pointless and is something that they put into the F3 workout routine. The definition of a workout that is CSAUP is when you tell someone what you are doing and they say, “I don’t get it…” Despite the name, I do think that there is a purpose for doing workouts like this (like a Tough Mudder) and I think they create a lot of value. While they might be completely stupid, they aren’t utterly pointless. The reason that I choose to put events like this on my schedule is because it stretches you. I believe that you thrive on the edge of your comfort zone. Growth happens when you get to the edge of your comfort zone and keep pushing through. That is why I have events that might seem completely stupid as a normal part of my physical activities.

Today we're going to talk about something

1:05.6

that we referenced on a recent podcast when I did with Dave Redding who was one of the

1:10.7

original founders of F3. He had an acronym for this. It was C-S-A-U-P and that was a workout that is completely

1:22.4

stupid and utterly pointless.

1:25.3

And that's something that they put into their routine regularly.

1:29.4

I don't have an acronym for that, but I have done plenty of those things that are completely

1:35.6

stupid and utterly pointless.

1:37.6

And basically the definition of that is when your wife or your girlfriend or anyone around you you tell them what you're getting ready to do and they look at you and they just say I don't get it and that is basically the definition of that.

1:52.0

So some of the things that I would put in this category,

1:58.0

but I don't want to call it completely stupid

2:00.4

and utterly pointless because I don't think that it is. I think that there's a real purpose

2:05.2

for this and I think that there is a great reason to include events like this. I just think
