Posted: January 10, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: bike, fitness, goals, motivation, perspective, swin, swings 4 CommentsLess than fifteen percent of the people do any original thinking on any subject… The greatest torture in the world for most people is to think-
With New Years resolution season in full swing now, the vast and overwhelming amount of tips and motivational “pats on the back” can be daunting to anyone trying to get back into the swing of leading a healthy life.
For the blog-o-sphere types, Random Fitness apes and yoga moms telling YOU what to do, CultFit HQ inter-webz media relation guru Uncle Hayden has this reminder: Most people are visitors to the magical land of fitness, nutrition and healthy living; not full-time residents.
During this full on information blitz in particular, you are often exposed to a lot of information. Far too often we easily lose sight of what tasty tidbits of information/advice are most important and helpful to us.
This all gets back to you, the visitor here to CultFit HQ. This is much more of a tool than you may initially think. Check out some of the links to the side here–>
There here for a reason. Read the articles we present you with an open mind. Be mindful that you, you yourself are the best training tool and motivator you could ever need.
The Plan-
Ask yourself these questions today:
What are my goals for the coming days, week, month, year?
What changes do I want to see in my life?
What am I willing to change about myself to achieve my goals?
What will I add to my life? What will I let go of?
The Workout-
Similar to yesterday…
One Hour Swim or Bike followed by:
100-150 Perfect Swings
Notes:
We honestly hope you get our message today, ENJOY!!!

Quick question? When is 7th best the best? Answer
Today’s sign of the Apocalypse:
Soon on sale at a "box" near you!
The Plan-
Quick reading for the day to pique your curiosity as you try to fit in with the crowd: Yoga is killing you silly American!
The Workout-
It should be safe to go back to the gym this week if you dare. A majority of the Resolution types finally got lost this morning and decided to throw in the towel for the year.
Not for time…
Bike for about an hour (adjust the seat height often up and down to lube up the joints)
100 Perfect Push Ups
Notes:
The bike ride is intended to loosen up the old body today: Nothing more nothing less. If you abuse yourself by running a lot? The old knees are happy with you today, ENJOY!!!

Which one do you want?
The Plan-
Today’s sign of the Apocalypse: Reality TV
Grown up chat today, so if you are easily offended scurry away now…As the Random Fitness (hell, let’s through all of society under the bus) world evolves into a seemingly more complex, nuanced, and technology driven society, the more disengaged the average person becomes from what’s going on around them and to themselves. Do you have any inkling of an idea how utterly lazy we are as a society? Even though we should be more empowered now than ever before. How about this? Don’t know something? Confused? Hello, Google Machine here we come (we have heard great things about The Google Machine over the years). It infuriates us here at CultFit HQ when people reject intellectualism and knowing your business as a defense mechanism, to shield their own ignorance or dullness. People accept the status quo and abundant hypocrisy because it’s easy, it feels good. Empower yourself to learn as much as you can about yourself, others and more specifically to what we are talking about today: Living a healthy life and participating in a goal driven workout program.
The Workout-
It’s been rather nice outside so why not break free from the treadmill and try Mother Nature out for once?
Brisk Walk/Run before dawn (preferably) followed by:
A free flowing (effortless) Sun Salutation series followed by:
Peaceful Meditation as the sun rises and bathes you in gentle warmth for the day
Humans, you are doing it wrong.
Notes:
A nice simple workout series this week to ring in the New Year. It’s a long year remember…ENJOY!!!
Sums up nicely what you did to yourself this week.

Posted: January 5, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: crossfit, excuses, mindful, motivation, paradigm, recovery, rest, space, workout Leave a commentAn inability to stay quiet is one of the conspicuous failings of mankind-
Shhhhhhhh! Take time to read this thoughtful story that is so true (and sad) in today’s world: The Joy of Quiet.
We would also like to introduce you to our newest member here at CultFit HQ, The Grand Warlock-Antonio Vazquez.
It’s always nice to have the likes of a Grand Warlock around to bounce ideas off of. El distinguido Vazquez has already predicted that one member of the staff here would get injured in the first week of 2012…not a bad start.
The Plan-
If you only remember one thing the entire year consider this:
What happens when an apple falls from a tree?
Take the time to formulate an answer that explains what you can see. Take time to think about mental shortcuts and causation. When you finally do come up with a reasoned answer that makes sense of the facts let us know. Also try to relate the simple apple question to how you workout and set goals.
Lo que en el nombre del infierno is going on here? One percent of you will get our message today, maybe? Maybe the “TOOL” in Michotte’s “Tool Effect” paradigm is you? And everyone here at CultFit HQ?
No lame ass excuses here peeps.
The Workout-
Rest Day. If you don’t understand what that is you can always do this program instead:
Notes:
Take a nice long look at this image today. More often than not we just go through a program with little or no thought as to what is going on both mentally and physically. Even in a moment of complete disorientation (to us the average peep) this athlete is in complete control of her body and movements. Mindful and aware as she moves through space, ENJOY!!!

Posted: January 4, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: compete, courage, crossfit, motivation, rest, self reiki 1 CommentWhat is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first steps to something better-
Anyone get the chance to catch the season premiere of The Biggest Loser last night? Neither did we although we hear there are some ground breaking programs and movements being used this season.
The Plan-
Proprioception is our sense and awareness of the position of our body in space and is closely linked to balance. It is commonly accepted within the Random Fitness community that having a good proprioception helps to reduce the risk of injury.
So basically, trying to visualize this for all the folks at home reading with a nice mug of Horlicks this fine morning. Sense that the air, space around you is fluid in nature. Well it already is but we will have this discussion later in the year. Too many times we go through a program paying no attention to how we move or all the little things that go into being able to stand upright. So today no matter what program you may be doing in the gym, at the park or at home: Do It With Your Eyes Closed.
The workout-
Not much of a workout for all you CultFit fire-breathing lunatics out there lurking in the basement. The program today is more along the lines of the “Divinyls” series of workouts in our archives.
Not for time:
One Hour of Self Reiki
If you are not sure of what Self Reiki is fire up the old Google machine, put down the Android and grab some arnica oil!
Notes:
As you may well know we encourage our dear followers to compete as often as possible during the year and to somehow wrap their goals around them. We would like you to send in what you are training for and WHY? Honestly, we are more interested in the why aspect of the question…ENJOY!?!
