People are cynical and honestly: Why wouldn’t they be? All of us are overworked, trampled on, paying more for yoga class and coconut water. Our dreams are slowly fading away and struggling to find meaning.
Dark clouds seemingly consume the conversations we have with friends and family. Is talking about Doom and Gloom useful? It some instances it can be, just not today.
Today we challenge you to find the courage to be optimistic!

The Workout-
Happy Hips, a little Balance Beam work and Skipping Rope (if you “jump rope”? Try again). Followed By:

There is a very little word that we often use. It has only two letters, but it is full of power for good or evil. It is the word ‘“IF”. Do not be always fancying that IF your circumstances were different you would be different; IF only other people would be agreeable, you would; IF only you were somebody else and had their chances you would do differently; IF this, that and the other might be, all would be well with YOU.

Painful experiences lead to growth-
Being sincere and open with your feelings can make you feel vulnerable in the world we live in. When you finally open your heart? You do so with the uncertainly that other people will not treat your feelings with care and love.
Open up and let down your guard today and Risk being Sincere. Be Honest, Authentic and say what you Feel. Open your mind to creating loving interactions with those whose company you enjoy …

Never Be the Same

In fact, we are not only reborn at the time of death, we are born and reborn at every moment-
Where would one start on the path of not being an Epic Douche?
Step one is to become aware of what and how we are thinking. Training in the gym is easy, training ourselves to be aware every second of the day of how our mind is working. The thoughts, The thinking patterns and our fundamental tendencies: Takes Time and is infinitely Hard.
Make this a habit above all else. When you set your workout/running playlist? Record a note at the beginning reminding you to be aware. A sticky note on the fridge or the dash in your car helps as well.
There is one little problem with awareness: It brings about a heightened sensitivity to the world and the other douche bags that walk Mother Earth with us. We become judgmental (just look at her ass in those Lululemon pants) and critical of ourselves (why do I always lack energy and motivation). Say hello to the never-ending vicious cycle of negativity (think of this as you read your blog roll today …). We need to Patiently (<— Key Word) learn to accept what we see and understand. Our new-found acceptance of the world leads to genuine love and positive thinking.
You can still be aware and an epic douche bag, look no further than Old Uncle Mo!
There are various techniques to help assist us in changing our attitude. A slap up side the head or a little Yoga Nidra help immensely in shaping our mind and thoughts.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Trail Run/Bike and a few Hill Sprints to get the juices flowing. Followed By:
10 Ring Dips or Regular Dips (It’s not the end of the world if you do not have rings)
20 Walking Lunges (Each Leg)
30 Seconds Jumping Rope (If you count reps … Douche?!? Get into these for 30 seconds)
Ten rounds? Sure, sounds spot on!!!
Notes:
We often lose track that every thought generated in our mind is also experienced by every cell in our body. Ever feel hot and sassy after a good run or workout, while on the bad days we feel stiff and lethargic?
Take care today and ENJOY!!!

The last time we tried this little segment we like to call “Sucking the joy out of what you love“. The cyclist of CultFit took to their pitchforks and spades to start an agrarian revolt against us. We were brow beaten to a bloody pulp, by cyclist. We learned a few things that day: Cyclist certainly are a peculiar bunch and are easily stirred up into a frenzy. Skiers on the other hand …
Skiing in Jeans (You won’t find this story on JoggingJeans) <— Not your typical exlex “blog” …
A Dude that Actually Listens to His Body
The Joy of being Outdoors, Skiing and not UPDATING your Status …
The Plan-
The Workout-
Rest Day … A few minutes waxing the old ski’s, adjusting the bindings and waiting for some snow to fall.
Notes:
What’s worse: Getting hit by a car? Falling off a ski lift? Or sharing an intimate moment whilst skiing into a tree, at full speed? We have stories about all of these and more, what about you? Rest up today and ENJOY!!!
