In the basement of our critically acclaimed “CultFit Analytical Department” our researchers have been quite busy of late crunching numbers and watching Ellen. Here’s what they have come up with:
Men Do Everything They Do In Order to Get Laid
and Women Do Everything They Do In Order To Look Like Other Women
What? Did their report rub you the wrong way? Feel free to opine in the always “lively” comments section … Although bear in mind they did just recently publish this report about our future:
The Plan-
The Workout-
Long time readers will recognize this program from our “Open the Backdoor” series of Workouts published a long time ago.
Get out of the tub, Put down the iPad, Forget about taking pictures of your breakfast to post, Lift your chin up and Open the Backdoor to go do something … Obviously the previous sentence was written for the pretentious, delicate YogaMom’s reading today. For the dudes: Get yer ass off the couch and open the door!
We went for a nice Walk to the park and did a bunch of Perfect Pull Ups, that’s it.

Contrary to popular opinion there is some actual ground breaking Psychological Innovation going on around here, ENJOY!!!
You’re Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

He basked beneath the sun; He lived a life of going-to-do, And died with nothing done-
If there was ever a time to turn away from CultFit, today would be that day! The topic of discussion today is going to be neither coherent nor digestible and is probably easier read over a cup of absinthe rather than our customary cup of green tea. So on that note … If you are late to your 9am Cardio Blast or 10am WAD at the local “Box“? Look at the pretty pictures, all too real videos and carry on with your fine day…
You’re Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
And this concludes our conversation about staying true to yourself and not jumping onto the latest fitness trend(s) : You’re damned if you are too supportive to “these” people and you are damned if you’re not supportive enough.
Thank goodness we we’re Chinners here at CultFit HQ before it became “Hip” and mainstream … Look ‘Ma no kipping!?!
The Plan-
The Workout-
Trail Run/Bike/Swim/Hike/Walk as you see fit. Followed by:
20-30 Minutes of our classic “Plank Medley”.
Slice em and Dice em up as you see fit peeps although keep in mind: No plank will be held shorter than One Minute!
Notes:
Congrats and big pat on the back if you made it this far! Have a great day today and ENJOY!!!

Today’s Sign of the Apocalypse: Uncle Mo has set the over/under at 1000. The number of bloggers who are going to lament nauseously, screaming: “Look at this horrible disgusting food I have to eat tomorrow“. Guess we’ll just wait and see won’t we?
How many of you feel your current program is summed up in this pic:
That’s kinda what we were thinking as well. No worries though deer peeps!
The Plan-
The Workout-
Pulled with fear and trepidation from our “Don’t Be a Meretricious Idiot” series of programs here at CultFit HQ.
Our Warm Up today is the following: A little TM and a nice flowing Sun Salutation Series until you find some semblance of “grace”…
Take a moment to wipe the sweat from your brow and proceed with the following:
**TOP TIP– This program is an old Bouldering/Climbing progression we use a few times a year. If you DO NOT have a Rock Overhang/Double Pull Up Bars/Monkey Bars etc. PLEASE sub in Elevated Feet Perfect Push Ups and Elevated Hand Perfect Push Ups. Or just ask us for more ideas!**
30-45 Second Hand Stand Hold (Active and Pushing away from the floor. Your pretty little toes point to the sky!)
2 Hand Release Perfect Pull Ups…Perform one Pull Up and on the second pull- Release, grabbing the Bar/Rock above you. Perform a Strict Dead Hang Pull Up on this higher bar and return to the earth beneath you.
Form, Flow, Grace…10 times through would be pretty cool?!?
Notes:
If your idea of a good workout is AMRAP or Balls to the Wall/Middle Fingers to Form and Function? Skip this workout today because YOU WILL get hurt…Or maybe you like that in your program? Breaking news!!! Tomorrow is the 4th around these parts and you know what? It won’t kill you to forget about your paleo, gluten-free diet for one day and celebrate like the true ‘Merican you are…ENJOY!!!
You are what you eat!
Posted: June 18, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: diet, health, nutrition, sweet wholesome health 14 CommentsOnce again we are very grateful to have Melissa over today from Sweet Wholesome Health with such an inspiring article. Get the hummus ready and be sure to clean up the mess you left behind toasting your bagel…This is a really good read!
How much time do you spend looking into exactly what you are eating? How closely are you looking?
Ideally everyone that is aware of being healthy would cook completely from scratch and use only ingredients that they grew themselves. Then there would be no guessing as to what and how it was grown but this is impossible for most of us and totally unrealistic. Of course you can grow some things and cook a lot of your meals but not everyone has as much time as they need for what they would like to be eating.
Here are my top 2 tips for finding the best foods in a sea of options at the SUPERMARKET!
- Stop looking at the nutrition facts first. Remember you are what you eat! Start with the ingredients list. If you can’t read or understand what most of the ingredients, it is NOT FOOD and your body doesn’t know how to digest it. There are some really great products out there but you have to look closely to find them. For example my favorite on the go bar is LaraBars. They are delicious, give you energy and only have 5 or 6 real ingredients which means it is all real food yum!
- Although the “healthy foods” section is usually way more expensive at supermarkets, there is usually some really good markdowns. The general public stay away from this isle because of the cost so there are always products that the supermarket has to push to sell which means major markdowns! Stock up on these delicious real ingredient foods for when you need something quick.
Always love your body and do the best you can with what you have 🙂
