9/11
Posted: September 11, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: 9/11 18 Comments“When I look out the window, I exhale a prayer of thanks for the color green, for my children’s safety, for the simple acts of faith like planting a garden that helped see us through another spring, another summer. And I inhale some kind of promise to protect my kids’ hopes and good intentions we began with in this country. Freedom of speech, the protection of diversity — these are the most important ingredients of American civil life and my own survival. If I ever took them for granted, I don’t know.” –
Sometime today take a few moments to look at this link:

It’s the gentleman guppy. You know, he’s like a turd that won’t flush-
Let’s cut out all the fitness/health verbiage to start the week shale we?: What you see before you this morning is a simple message that will only be understood by a few.
Do you bring a gallon jug of water to the gym with you? If you do … Keep reading! If you don’t … Skip to the end.
Recent troubling developments prompt us to revisit a subject that we have discussed in the past: The Gallon of Water Dude(Chicas? You are just as bad if not worse …) at the gym and his plan to use our weaknesses to his advantage. But first, allow us to pose you a question: Is The Gallon of Water Dude actually concerned about any of us or does he just want to advocate fatalistic acceptance of a venal, meat-headed new world order? After reading this post, you’ll sincerely find The Gallon of Water Dude is the latter. Many peeps who follow Gallon Water Dude’s threats have come to the erroneous conclusion that the majority of impertinent slubberdegullions workout 25 hours a day, eight days a week and thus deserve occasionally to create a world without history, without philosophy, without science, without reason—a world without beauty of any kind, without art, without literature, without culture. The stark truth of the matter is that The Gallon of Water Dude thinks we are trying to say that censorship could benefit us all. Wait! We just heard something … Oh, never mind; it’s just the sound of our point zooming way over Gallon Water Dude’s head. To reiterate the main message of this rambling Monday post, widespread emotionalism is the price we’d pay for making “superultrafrostified“ a dirty word.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Focus peeps and pay attention! We had to dig deep in between the cushions of the couch to find this gem …
“The 2 and 2“
Two minute RUN out and a two-minute RUN back to the start.
20 Hard Style KB Swings
** If you actually RUN? You should always come up short of your starting spot … 4-5 should be good.**
Notes:
Whoa?!? Where did that all come from? What a great way to start the week don’t you think … ENJOY!!!
Must read material for the week: ACSM ECP’s

Before we get way off topic and start writing in a nauseating fashion a few thanks are in order. Quite often we forge enduring and lasting friendships in the proverbial blog-o-sphere. My Life Is A Picture Show has bestowed upon us the “A Thought Provoking Blog Award“ and we cannot begin to say how deeply we are moved by her kind thoughts.
Quite often and more times than nought we simply click the “Like” button and carry on with our merry selves. We have been doing this blog thingy for over a year now and the peeps that have taken the time to email and reach out to us here at CultFit know passionately our true purpose, our drive behind what we do. These awards may seem tedious to the “Look at me Crowd” … Not to us!
So once again, thank you My Life Is A Picture Show for taking the time to read and look right through the faced we present. Your blog and writing style is so very inspiring and beautiful. Thank you!
So who do we nominate next? As of .0004512 nano seconds ago there were 1678 followers of CultFit. Pretty scary huh?!? Each one of our readers is so amazing … Even the ones who only “Followed“ to “Follow“ if you catch our drift?
Take a gander at these peeps! We think you’ll like what you see …
Notice we have not told you about these amazing and lovely peeps … What are you waiting for? Hop on over and say hello! You’ll be glad you did!!!
**This is an authentic CultFit member. Things will never be the same.**

Be like the tiny grass that grows
In the crevices at a giant mountain’s foot,
Be like the fragrant jasmine flower
Which fills the air with perfume sweet,
Stand like a rock if destiny cruel
Showers you with hardships, big and small,
Be sweet as rock candy to people in distress,
O naive one, just be one among all.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Something new and something fun peeps so please pay attention. Otherwise your face will find itself in a heap. A bloody one at that …
A rather quick and sweat inducing Warm Up of your choosing followed by:
One Arm High Planks (Hinge-Walkout to a high plank pose)
Key points- Index fingers facing straight forward in-line and directly underneath your Shoulders. Index fingers are directly in-line with your Shoulders\Hips\Ankles. Practice this while standing! Your eyes remain neutral, facing forward. Draw your breath in through your nose and tighten your midsection as you walk out (this is critical!).
Here’s the deal hot shots- The most important bit to doing this movement initially is to practice: Index (booger picking) fingers in-line as stated above. Your Walk Out alignment must be spot on!
Play around with this for 15 minutes or so. Try Superman Style (Arm forward, thumb up), Or try our preferred style: Hand on lower back with palm facing up!?! Followed by:
Not For Time …
10 Hinge-Walkout Perfect Push Ups
10 Hard Style KB Swings (Snappy hinge peeps, these are not squats)
250 Perfect Push Ups and 250 Swings sounds just about right.
Uncle Mo says: “You’ll only fall flat on your face once peeps!“
Notes:
Redirect your attention today. Clear your mind and thoughts while trying something new, like our super-duper engaging one arm high plank. Challenge yourself in a way you never have before. And no picking out new kicks and making a play list are not challenging. Now Fantasy Football on the other hand … Have a beautiful weekend and ENJOY!!!
