We Salute You …

CultFit Readers Rock-

To your continued support of CultFit.  We appreciate every single reader out there on the inter-webz, Thank you!!!

Hell.  Here’s another one peeps:

For the Trifecta:


Frogballs, Arkansas …

I workout.  I hit the gym …  Yesterday I did ankles-

The decision is yours.  Either you can look at the witty, avant-garde photos with a chuckle and a smile?  Or, if you like you are free to hang around as we strip back a few layers for your viewing pleasure?!?

Day one peeps clearly understand we give only a few shakes of the proverbial lamb’s tail when it comes to site stats and dreadful stuff like that.  It’s not what drives us or motivates us; Past, present or future!  However we have been seeing quite a few emails and messages of late asking:  What is up with this nonsense over here at CultFit HQ, bro or brah (if you hail from Eugene, OR)?”  From what we gather from our ongoing conversations with these fine folk is that peeps are really tiring of the Extreme, ELITE, Kranked and Cardio Barre Burn fitness fads (Ja Ja Ja).

These words will read as highbrow and superior.  Conveying tone in a blog-o-post can be arduous to say the least … We stand before you humble and laid bare.

One of the driving forces if not the only principle for CultFit is Karma Yoga.   Quite simply, Karma Yoga is the gentle practice of giving back to the communities of which you are a part.  CultFit has two parts:  What you see here before you and if you ever get up off your un-motivated butt?  Our offline, more intimate version.  In our most pure form we embrace Seva, selfless service.  Seva is an act of kindness and generosity that neither demands, nor expects, reciprocation.

Now this is where old Uncle Mo gets all pissy about the Money Grab and Look at Me ELITE individuals of the world (Those in the Know -Know whom we speak of) … Not today, we promise!

One of the great hall marks of our generation is that, more times than not we only take and not give back.  A friend recently defined the Law of Karma as to say: You get what you give.”  We implore you (along with us) to give back to those around you!  We are not talking about writing a post about your new shoes, heart rate monitor or What You Ate for Wednesday (Damn, that’s today … Oops!).  Hypothetically speaking it would be refreshing NOT to read and hear about peeps:  Volunteering at a local food kitchen, Donating time after work to mentor young kiddos, Helping an elderly neighbor …

If you would like to learn more about what we offer off of the inter-webz or if you would like to share ideas about giving back?  Contact us at:  cultfit@gmail.com

Now back to our regularly scheduled program:

Slowly we will purge the Justin Bieber’s of the musical world …

The Plan-

The Workout-

One example of giving back to your community:

The hover-moms thought a merry-go-round was way too dangerous?  Coconut water has never looked so glorious spilling from someones mouth as when they saw this apparatus above!!!

Not For Time …

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Thick Grip Barbell Curls and Perfect Push Ups (Feet up Peeps) Followed by:

Take the number of stops you make this morning going to work (Stop sign, street light etc) x 10 and this will determine how many Hard Style KB Swings you perform later tonight!

Notes:

So what does all this mean?  If from here on out, each and every time you open the “CultFit has published a new post” email on your precious iPad?  Think of this:  We as individuals may not get what we give.  Although in giving, we keep this whole darn world thing running.  Be well today and ENJOY!!!


This Is Going To Be Pretty Unbearable …

The more you Twitter the worse you run-

Shame, Shame we know your name peeps!  Not a single one of you reading yesterday took the bait we so generously tossed in your general direction:  You teach what you need to learn.  One little, painless comment for or against would have placated the cantankerous Uncle Sachmo!  But no way Jose, you were way too busy lamenting about all of your grand adventures over the past weekend … Now you shale all suffer.   Performing our best Jesse Pinkman impersonation:  Listen up and pay attention, bitches!!!

The single worst part of dispensing advice to others either in a random blog-o-post or over a few cold PBR’s is that NO ONE (re-read this again) actually follows through with what you have to share.  When most self-absorbed (<— If this word is too abrasive choose another one that best fits your personality) peeps ask a question, they already have a picturesque answer in mind-which is usually, the answer they would like to hear coming from your mouth.

Quick question:  Why ask for advice or help in the first place?  When you know you will not use it.

The challenge to our dear readers today is this:  When someone asks you for help or an opinion later this afternoon.  Zip it up and don’t say a thing to the person asking!  Listen for once and lend a good ear.  Chances are they could care less what you have to say in return.  Listen and help guide them to the answer they want, the answer they want to here from their own mouth.

Is this you?!? <—Must clicky!

Or is this you?!?<—Must Clicky(Dear Lord above let this be you!!!)

The Plan-

The Workout-

Before dawn go outside and enjoy the Moon and Venus dancing in the sky above you.  Awaken your senses with a nice flowing Sun Salutations Series, bringing balance and energy to you this morning.  What you do after this is up to you …

Hat Tip: Tyler Leavitt

Notes:

Pretty unbearable indeed … Smile and ENJOY!!!


How Will We Ever Move On …

Narcissus is the glory of his race:  For who does nothing with a better grace-

Over this past weekend we sat down and had a nice free flowing chat amongst some old friends.  One topic that came up that we would like to share with you is:  You teach what you need to learn.  Let this thought sit in for a bit as you get ready to rush off to your mid day extreme fitness class …

Oh and to the peeps lamenting, crying about Olympic withdraw?  The REAL Olympics start soon!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKTamH__xuQ&feature=youtu.be

The Plan-

There are countless boring and over opinionated blog-o-posts offering dreadful London Olympic recaps and what not today.  Here’s ours:

Top Tip:  If you missed any of the BBC coverage of the Summer Games because you were taking photos of yourself and Pinning things?  BBC FULL COVERAGE(Replay)

You only have until January peeps so hop to it already!?!

The Workout-

From our “No Time to Waste” series of programs:

As a Warm Up: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Light Turkish Get Ups (Graceful, Flowing, Find Perfection) Followed By:

Pick something heavy up around you and proceed to Heart Beat Walk for 100 pumps … Lets do this 4-5 times?!?

Notes:

The world will still go on dear reader.  Time to quit living vicariously as though you are an Olympic athlete or something?!?  Have fun today and ENJOY!!!


Am I Still Alive …

Take me all the way.  Bring to the fire.  Throw me in the flames-

Snobbery.  Do we agree that snobbery is an awesome word not only to say but it looks pretty hot as well?  Snobbery … Hmm tasty eight letter word.

Psychologists have long agreed that Snobbery is not a question of tastes. What makes someone a snob is the tendency to look down on others and treat them with condescension.  Here’s a fine example of Snobbery in action:

Two-Buck Chuck’ Snags Top Wine Prize

Snobbery comes from the inside out; it’s all about how you perceive other people. Quick show of hands:  How many of you shop at a local market and look down at people who shop at a chain?  Or maybe you have the latest and greatest trainers and shun the low life’s who can’t afford $$$ athletic gear?  It’s one thing to spend your Saturdays munching on haute granola and quite another to look down on the people eating Corn Flakes.

Make do doubt about yourself; you were born of insecurity. An example is in order: The asparagus framed barista with the beret who feels awfully bad about himself, so he derides customers’ taste in organic coffee grinds to make himself feel culturally superior? He genuinely feels and believes he is better than others.

Are you sensitive to criticism and rejection?  Hmmmm … Snobbery.  What a great word to start the weekend with!!!
