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!!!

Comment Moderation- Off
Lavender Tea- Steeping
Rawtella Mint (Canada’s gift to the world)- Almost finished!!!
Ctrl+T- Foxy Proxy ready and the BBC Olympic coverage is a go!
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 7, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: Bronze, crossfit, exercise, fitness, happiness, health, hipster, kettlebell, Live, london, love, lululemon, marathon, motivation, paleo, pilates, recovery, Rowing, running, summer olympics, trail running, walking, whole foods, WOD, yoga 36 CommentsYou can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word-
Rumor on the street is that the kids of today love this stuff:
The Plan-
Well um … We’ll just leave this here (Way to take home the Bronze Boys!!!):
While we are causing women to faint worldwide this morning. Say hello to Chilean gymnast Tomas Gonzalez:
The Workout-
Inspired recently from the “Slap Upside the Old Noggin“ series of programs here at CultFit HQ:
Be Advised: You can do this program inside, it can be done. However … Lego’s, Matchbox Cars, Bottle Caps (Beer) hurt under your hands performing Handstand walks! Grass is our friend here peeps! Soft, plush green grass. FYI- Its located outside!!!
Not For time …
Nice quick flowing Warm Up followed by:
Handstand Walk for 10 meters (Sprint back to the start – where you left a heavy KB …)
10 Heavy Hard Style KB Swings
Skill work or whatever its called is complete rubbish. Life is a skill that we are all too happy to avoid during the day. Like all of our programs, having fun and enjoying ourselves is paramount! If you can’t perform a Handstand? Or even walk a straight line on two feet? Who the hell cares? We don’t – That’s who! Forward Rolls, Crab Walk, Cart Wheels, You Name It … All work here today peeps. Skill Work … Open the car door for your lady friend sometime?!? That’s a pretty damn useful Skill to work on don’t you agree???
Notes:
If only life were this easy?!? Have fun today and ENJOY!!!
Go, No Go …
Posted: August 6, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: crossfit, curiosity rover, exercise, fitness, health, hipster, london, lululemon, motivation, NASA, summer olympics, trail running, whole foods, WOD, yoga 11 CommentsA woman, the more curious she is about her face, is commonly the more careless about her house-
“Dammit Jim! We have been hoodwinked again … I stayed up all night watching the Mars Landing Thingy and this morning? My motivation to go out and achieve great things has vanished into thin air! “
Does this story sound familiar to you? Ever turned the last page of a great book (Born to Run/Fifty Shades of Suck) and immediately want to go out and do great things after your Motivation Meter is pegged at ten?
Sadly, True and lasting inspiration cannot come from outside sources, no matter how many times you watch Rocky!!! True inspiration must take place within a very deep place inside all of us. This is one of those: You will know it when you see it sort of things. The kind of inspiration that propels you to be courageous, powerful and inspiring to not only yourself but those around you as well.
True inspiration is deep inside you right now! Problem is we fail to see and feel this in a book or movie. Reward yourself this week and do some soul-searching … The answer is staring at you in the mirror!
Amazing first pics from the Curiosity Rover!!!

Take a moment to watch this video: One Race, Every Medalist Ever!!!
