Cat Blocks Yoga Headstand | Video

Cat-lovers will watch this video, smile, and lovingly shake their heads as they think to themselves, "That's just what my Fluffy would do!"  But as for cat-haters, well, this will give them another reason to be annoyed by these arrogant furballs.  But come on.  You have to admit this video is pretty funny.  This strong yogi is trying to videotape herself doing a frickin' hard headstand variation, and this cat is like, "F*ck you.  I'm more important, obviously.  It's always about me, remember?"  What's more?  Check out the gecko on the wall (at :30) that gives even less of a f*ck.  This woman might as well call it quits, roll up her mat, and go get a smoothie.

Funny Guided Meditation

For those constantly looking for the antidote for life's daily stresses and worries, meditation can have an enormous impact on the way you view the world — and it's not just hippie bullsh*t.  Study after study has shown a correlation between meditation and reduction of grey matter in the amygdala, the region connected to anxiety and emotional regulation.  It's been proven to lengthen your attention span, lessen stress levels, and decrease insomnia by 42 percent.  And with just two months of a consistent practice, meditation literally changes your brain chemistry, making you more resilient when difficult situations arise.

With all that said, it can be really f*cking hard to sit still for 10 minutes, and that's where this hilarious and surprisingly calming meditation video from Jason Headley comes in handy.  If guided meditations have been too strange, far-out or boring for you in the past, prepare to breathe in the good sh*t and exhale the bad sh*t with this hysterical NSFW-language-filled video.

If People Talked About Their Hobbies Like They Do Running

What marathon did you run last week?  How many seconds did you shave off your PR?  Found a new foam-roller exercise that cured your pulled hammy?  We get how some runners can be so (ridiculously) obsessed with running that they feel the need to share it every waking second (hey, we can be like that too!), but they're not the only ones.  This video shows what it'd be like if bakers and book enthusiasts were as fanatical about their hobbies as runners are.  Note, there is some profanity in this hilarious video so it's slightly NSFW.

Every day we bring a different brain and body to our workouts.  Some days we're pumped up and ready to rock it, but others days heading to the gym is a bigger struggle.  Recently, I've been following US women's soccer star Sydney Leroux's advice and thinking about how awesome I'll feel after my workout, covered in sweat and amped up with endorphins.  The following GIFs are an animated taste of the feeling you get when you leave a tough workout.  If you're thinking about skipping your sweat session, scroll through these and you'll be lacing up your sneakers in no time.
