Sometimes, working on a strenuous mental task can make you feel energized for further challenging activities-

Hey Random Fitness cabezas de los huesos!   Is this what you are killing yourself for?  Is this what you aspire to achieve?  Does this video motivate you?

The thing is, all kidding aside and being serious for one fleeting moment.  Strong/Fit/Experienced dudes having fun does not = Average dude first time touching a bar!

Today kids and yoga moms across the inter-webz watch the above video and aspire to be, well?  We don’t know what they aspire to be, we just hope it’s not what’s depicted in the video.

How about we inspire to achieve this:

The Plan-

Sums it up nicely

The Workout-

The hardest workout you will have all week…Wait for it:

Go for a walk and rest up!

Notes:  Yeah we know it’s hard not to beat yourself up everyday training for your 1/2 marathon that is slowing coming up in a month.  Seriously, remember our 7% rule peeps (look it up).  Why kill yourself running into the ground if your time is going to be two plus hours for a 1/2?  That is why going for a walk today is going to be the hardest program you do all week, ENJOY!!!

REST DAY!!!

Learning is not compulsory… neither is survival-

Hopefully everyone made it home in one piece after Halloween last night.  The individual below on the other hand…

The Plan-

It’s time to be completely honest with us here at CultFit HQ Random Fitness peeps.  How many of you just roll right through your given workout without giving any thought to what you are actually doing?  We thought so and it changes today.  Listen to your body the rest of the week…

The Workout-

Not for time…

20m Heavy Farmers Walk…Followed by:

20 Perfect Push Ups

3 Goblet Squat Holds

We prefer you do this first set barefoot for the following reason:  Actively spread your toes during each step and grip the floor beneath you.  If you feel you are a danger to your well-being and stand the chance of dropping the weights…Don’t.  Every movement we do is under control and planned with a purpose.  Heavy Farmers Walks give us the perfect opportunity to perform  single rep dead-lift right?

20m Heavy Farmers Walk…Followed by:

20 Perfect Push Ups

3 Goblet Squat Holds

Quick feet this time while still gripping the floor.  Big chest and chin up, paying more attention to your core stability.  Open No thumb), loose grip on the weight.

20m Heavy Farmers Walk…Followed by:

20 Perfect Push Ups

3 Goblet Squat Holds

Gently and importantly, under control lean forward and let gravity assist during this set.

Notes:  During the last set put all the pieces together and walk it out until your grip fails you.  ENJOY!!!

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly-

Thank you for all the feedback, both positive and negative!  It really does help us here at CultFit HQ no matter what the naysayers opine.  Also, to all our athletes who competed this past weekend (you know who you are…) congratulations on the podium finishes!  Training to lead a healthy life and to produce measurable results…what a novel idea, huh?

The Plan-

Think of some movements this morning that you have been neglecting of late and why you have been putting them on the back burner.  If they are there for a reason i.e they make you hurt or aggravate an old injury, leave them there for good!  The idea today is craft a series of movements that augment your training goals in addition to the proven movements that have been working for you of late.

The Workout-

Pulled this one from our “Craft Brew Series” here at the CultFit archives…

Walk/Run-Run-Run/Walk…Tempo run peeps, find a good pace and stay in the groove for 30 minutes.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Weighted Step Ups

Perfect Dips

Notes-Once you pick the weight up for the ‘step ups’ it stays up…Plant foot and push through, nice controlled movement.  ENJOY!!!

Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight-

We cannot say thank you enough to all the brave men and women that have so faithfully served past, present and future…

Everything is controlled by a small evil group to which, unfortunately, no one we know belongs-

Hope everyone out there on the blog-o-sphere had a wonderful and safe weekend.  Today is really one of those days where you can make or break yourself after a long weekend.  You want to get right back into the routine and set a new PR in a completely random workout.  Although the best option may be to ease back into it, which brings us to what we will be doing this week.

The Workout-

Time is not an issue this week.  Keep things snappy, moving and with a purpose.
