Pop quiz time peeps! What color is the sun? If you answered “Yellow” it’s time to pack a lunch and head back to kindergarten.
Read up and prepare to feel great shame: Color of the Sun
In case you didn’t think the above article was accurate enough:
The Plan-
You are what you do, no more no less. A state of calm and relaxation is a path that takes us though many dark areas of our lives. Uncle Kurt Vonnegut’s advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
Too many times we are lured by the quick and easy way to achieve better health, How many of you take Self Magazine or Men’s Health to the gym to try a new program? If your journey is to reach vanity instead of peace continue doing what you have been doing all along.
We would be held in contempt if we didn’t share these articles with you today:
What Questions Are You Asking Yourself?
The Workout-
From our “Are you kidding me” series here at CultFit HQ
Bike/Swim/Trail Run (put some effort into it- say like 170% of your VO2 MAX?)
Not for time…Tabata Smile
20 Seconds of a genuine Smile followed by:
10 Seconds of Calm

The same % of peeps who “get” the message above also routinely smile throughout the day!

What’s your excuse?
The Plan-
You know what? A good rattling of the old body and brain is always a good thing, right? The program today parlays nicely with what we did yesterday although if you did not heed our warning about mid line stability? Today is going to be hell and will expose a lot of weaknesses you need to address soon.
The Workout-
From our “Oh Wait…” series at CultFit HQ:
Bike or Swim for an hour followed by:
150 Hinge Walkout Perfect Push Ups (Five Second Count)
For those of you playing at home this is how you go about doing it:
Feet together toes spread out grabbing the floor.
Hands on hips – Hinge sliding hands down the back of the legs.
Walk forward to a High Push Up Plank position – You should be on your tippy toes!
Five Second count Perfect Push Up – Hinge and walk hands back up your legs to standing. Rinse and Repeat!
This is toro mierda (jajaja)!!! “150 of these damn things!” Yup, 10 walk outs and 15 Perfect Push Ups each time. Should take about 15 minutes if you didn’t mess something up yesterday…Hmm?!?
Notes:
Nothing like performing something that is so easy on paper and coming to the realization that the movements serve a purpose and have meaning. Don’t look at these last two programs as something adverse, rather see them as a challenge to persevere through, ENJOY!!!
