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!
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 …
Posted: August 10, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: crossfit, exercise, fitness, health, hipster, life, love, lululemon, motivation, pilates, smile, snobbery, whole foods, wine, yoga 17 CommentsTake 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!!!

What better way to enjoy a Thursday than spending it with you!!! We’re Shooting the Breeze here at CultFit HQ today and the floor is yours to do as you please. Someone – Something pissing you off and you need to vent? Let it go and purge your thoughts! Wanna discuss your mock draft for the upcoming NFL fantasy draft? Let’s do it! Feel like breaking down the mechanics and movement patterns of female field hockey players (Ja Ja Perv … )? We can discuss this and so much more today with your help. Don’t be a hater or stranger this morning, no topic if off-limits … Just Shooting the Breeze.
To get this thing started you may have noticed some of the videos we have posted lately are not working so well. That’s because the IOC and its copyright mafia are ELITE Douche Bags!!! Just like Juan-Carlos Navarro …

Posted: August 8, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: compassion, exercise, health, hipster, kettlebell, life, london, love, lululemon, marathon, motivation, paleo, pilates, pity, smile, summer olympics, whole foods, WOD, yoga 9 CommentsIf the roots are sick, is not washing the leaves an eye-wash? To fix the roots is not easy, but washing the leaves is dangerous, for it gives the illusion of health-
Before we start on yet another bloviated blog-o-post. Watch this video to get all amped up and tingly inside this morning (or afternoon if you live in Turnipshire):
Have you ever noticed that our pity of others expresses a negative evaluation of a known bad situation? Last time we checked peeps simply do not like to be pitied or looked down upon as if they are flawed in some sort or another.
Our attitudes towards people who may be overweight or out of shape (What the heck is out of shape anyways? Can someone please explain this to us?!?) is a typical example of pity. Some normal attributes of compassion may be giving a helping hand to those near and dear to us. Pity and compassion are not generated in every case of bad luck, but only when we believe that someone suffers from substantial misfortune.
There is one crucial difference between pity and compassion: It’s simply that compassion involves far greater commitment on your part to contribute any form of substantial help. You may pity a woman for being fat and obese although that does little to help you or the woman. On the other hand … Compassion involves a willingness to roll up your sleeves and to get personally involved in helping out, while pity usually means you could care less. Maybe we can think of pity as being a spectator at the Olympics? Jumping around dolling our pity “yellow cards” out here and there where it is most convenient to us!?!
The whole dang point today (That will be lost in all the pics and silly videos): Our pity revolves around our perceived inferiority of other people. No matter what it may be: Oscar Pistorius running the 400m relay with no legs or Nadzeya Astapchuk (some claim she is too heavy and not womanly like … Ass-Hat peeps.) tossing a shot put around on the field. Compassion peeps … Shines a lovely, bright light on the common equality in humanity (Which is pretty darn cool).
The Plan-
The Workout-
If we told you that the secret to living a healthy engaging life is: Happy Hips and Happy Mind?!? All the peeps reading today would walk away shaking their collective heads in great shame.
On that note: A nice Happy Hips Warm Up and maybe a Swim followed by this series of movements:
Not For Time or AMRAP … Well, 30 Minutes of time at least?!?
10 Hinge Walk Out Perfect Push Ups
3 Perfect Dead Hang Pull Ups
30 Second Hand Stand Hold
Make note of when you started and roll through these movements for 30 minutes or so … No hurry! Perfection!!!
Notes:
Smile and ENJOY!!!
