If there’s one thing about CultFit readers that really stands out: None of us can be considered Normal.
Have you ever been out on a group run (anything else) and suddenly came up limp due to cramps or another issue? Then had one of your friends say, ” Is this normal for you chump?!?“
What may be Normal and unique to you is considerably different from another persons definition of Normal. This is blatantly obvious stuff here peeps yet we forget about it each time we close our eyes at night!
If you hang around or associate yourself with someone who is obsessed with their running times, weight loss, weight being used, shoe size, IQ (all solid examples)? The next time they start lamenting and complaining about not being able to put up Normal numbers … Ask this question and duck for cover:
“Maybe this is your new normal dude?!?“
Put the weapon down Dear Reader and think about what we are presenting to you for one fleeting moment: Our definition of Normal is changing all the time. A marriage here and a couple of kiddos there, suddenly you’re on the lovely side of 37. Last year you had a few surgeries and a few too many beers … You’re not the same person you were when you last defined Normal for yourself.
We spend infinite amounts of energy in the pursuit of getting back to Normal <— This friends: Keeps each and every one of us from moving —> Forward in our lives.
The Plan-
The Workout-
You know that feeling, when you’re lying alone in your warm bed, staring at the ceiling? It’s early morning, the sun is freshly up, beginning to shine on you through the windows. Everything is beautiful yet something is amiss?!?
A hearty Trail Run followed by:
30 Heavy Goblet Squats
100m Sprint
25 Heavy Goblet Squats

**Feel free to sub in: Swings, Push Press, Perfect Push Ups, Piston Press in lieu of the Goblet Squats.**
Notes:
Normal is a horrible word, be unique, be You! Have a great weekend peeps … ENJOY!!!

Posted: October 10, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: crossfit, exercise, fitness, freshly pressed, gluten free, happiness, health, hipster, life, love, lululemon, marathon, motivation, paleo, pilates, recovery, running, tabata, trail running, walking, whole foods, WOD, yoga 12 CommentsGetting lost is one way to learn-
Can we all agree on this lovely Wednesday morning that revenge is an extremely powerful motivational tool?!? Chances are that many of you reading today will use revenge to power you through the workday, an argument or a workout later. Maybe it was an insult someone uttered just loud enough for you to hear while walking on your favorite trail or the rejection amongst friend at the pub Saturday night?!? Either way, we do not want to use revenge as a tool to power us through the day.
The trick, and this is a trick in every sense of the word: Is to try to control our revenge -instinct (just totally made this up although we all have one) and put it to work for us instead of against us. “How“ you may be asking? By simply focusing and using our energy in positive way, this is easier said than done. The best example is exercise. Exercise is an excellent way to blow off the initial steam of negative energy you feel. A Walk/Trail Run/Bike Ride/Run/Swim/Hitting the Weights? All of these work.
“It ain’t worth doing it bro! Let’s take this inside and have a good workout!!!“
The Plan-
The Workout-
Intervals. Not tabata … Intervals peeps.
20 Seconds of Work followed by 10 Seconds of Rest.
In no particular order: Hollow Rocks, Crab Walk, Plank Hold (High and Low), Bear Crawl, KB Snatch.
Reminder: This is not a Tabata program, just a simple 20/10 interval program. Capisce!?!
Notes:
The last few posts have been a tad down trodden to say the least. Holding a grudge, Revenge … What could possibly be next? Maybe, just maybe we are writing with a broad brush stroke for a reason … ENJOY!!!
