Time Won’t Let Me Go

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement-

I find myself this morning in a grateful frame of mind.  I fail each and every day to stop and appreciate all the beautiful things that surround me.  I often find myself getting bogged down when I hear petty complaints and experience the minor irritations that we face everyday.  These are the times I forget just how much happiness I already have in my life.

Every morning when I sit down to write, as I search in my mind for the words to put forth … I take a moment to gently remind myself:  How blessed I am, how humbled I am to be amongst some of the most genuine peeps on the inter-webz.  Every morning before I click the proverbial publish button.  I pause to reflect on how truly grateful I am to be here with you.

Modulating The Truth

The Workout-

After a couple major – dumb surgeries over the prior two years.  One of which that has had left me broken and down trodden at times … This is my favorite Workout to perform.  It helps me to bring balance and harmony to the day:

A nice brisk Walk before the Sun comes up and a flowing 15-20 minute Happy Hips routine.  Followed by:

30 -45 Second Handstand Hold

20 Hinge Walk Out Perfect Push Ups

On a good day?  8-10 times.  On a bad day?  Never.

Today is the 500th post here at CultFit and I owe it all YOU … Be well this weekend and ENJOY!!!

The Workout-

Rest Day …

Most of us have been out and about all Summer toodling along in one fashion or another.  Today, let’s keep our iThingy at home along with our other gadgets.  A simple memorable Walk is all that we ask.  Walk your favorite trail, road or path.  Keep your head up and your eyes engaged on the pleasant surprises you have been blindly going past all Summer.

If this post gets 100 likes we’ll do whatever the first comment after 100 says to do.  Game on peeps ENJOY!?!

**We are dead serious!  Let’s have some fun today …**


Feelin Good’

Laughter and orgasm are great bedfellows

Do you fall into the category of being too refined?  Hopelessly, an old school romantic?  A little uptight and easily taken aback?  Today’s post treads some murky water … If you are easily offended and or have virgin ears/eyes?  Look away, right about now!  Or click this link:  U.S. Pole Dancing Championship<—Yes kids this is a “thing”

Say hello to Shame and Judgement.

One parallel that we like to draw between living a Healthy Life and our own Sexuality … Is what do we do when we strip away the fear of being Shamed and Judged?  What is the motivating factor when you are completely laid bare and exposed to the world?  For many of us the only reason we work out in the first place is to not be Shamed and Judged, to fit perfectly in the mold society has placed us in.  This train of thought also applies to our sex lives:  To be fully open to your partner you need to strip away the fear that holds us back and be completely open with one another.

What we propose to you is to clear the space in your life to learn your own Sexual voice, your own Health and Fitness voice.  Open your mind to how you comprehend, convey and enjoy your sexuality.  By opening your sexual expression with a loved one … Let’s just say this is a classic example of a Win – Win situation.

The Plan-

Give up sitting dutifully at your desk. Leave
your house or apartment. Go out into the world.

It’s all right to carry a notebook but a cheap
one is best, with pages the color of weak tea
and on the front a kitten or a space ship.

Avoid any enclosed space where more than
three people are wearing turtlenecks. Beware
any snow-covered chalet with deer tracks
across the muffled tennis courts.

Not surprisingly, libraries are a good place to write.
And the perfect place in a library is near an aisle
where a child a year or two old is playing as his
mother browses the ranks of the dead.

Often he will pull books from the bottom shelf.
The title, the author’s name, the brooding photo
on the flap mean nothing. Red book on black, gray
book on brown, he builds a tower. And the higher
it gets, the wider he grins.

You who asked for advice, listen: When the tower
falls, be like that child. Laugh so loud everybody
in the world frowns and says, “Shhhh.”

Then start again.

The Workout-

Let’s start with a nice flowing Tantra (what?) Trail Run followed by:

15 Hard Style KB Swings

100 Meter Sprint

Anywhere between 5-10 times through this program would be pretty cool.

Lumbopelvic Rhythm<— It’s all in the hips.

Notes:

With sex, just like working out …  Anything is possible.  You are afforded the opportunity to be anything you want … ENJOY!!!


Don’t Start Me Talking

If I can bicycle, I bicycle-

Last week we posted a list of links about the perils facing runners when they lace ’em up and head out for a brisk run  This morning while sipping on some freshly brewed orange tea we decided to put together a list of perils facing cyclist.  Few things in life are worse than getting hit by a car.  Typically driven by a yoga mom experiencing difficulties navigating to the studio with her new iPhone 5.  Unlike runners who are advised to run against traffic, cyclist or at least the law-abiding ones should follow the rules of the road.  Which present a fresh set of challenges to our two-wheeled friends to say the least.  So without further ado … Allow us to suck the joy out of your lovely Thursday morning.

Experienced Cyclist

Injured Courier Warns Other Cyclist

Killed By Hit and Run

Cyclist Hit By Train

Struck By Car

Patience is a Virtue

Cycle Harassment

Cycle Sandwich

Cyclist Knifed a Dude

Cyclist Shot by a Pellet Gun

UPDATE TO ADD CRITTERS TO THE LIST:

Magpie In The Sky

Cyclist Hits Bambi

The Plan-

Click HERE because you know you want to!

The Workout-

Rest Day … The temperature outdoors begs us to go for a Run yet our bodies scream for a morning filled with Yoga and Meditation.  Not in a crowded Yoga Studio …Maybe a trip to the park would do the trick?!?

 

Notes:

If you are a cyclist and see this image in front of you while stopped at a red light?  Consider yourself lucky  … ENJOY!!!


When I Walked With You Last Night

Well, I’ll be damned. It’s the gentleman guppy. You know, he’s like a turd that won’t flush-

Let’s cut out all the fitness/health verbiage to start the week shale we?:  What you see before you this morning  is a simple message that will only be understood by a few.

Do you bring a gallon jug of water to the gym with you?  If you do … Keep reading!  If you don’t … Skip to the end.

Recent troubling developments prompt us to revisit a subject that we have discussed in the past: The Gallon of Water Dude(Chicas?  You are just as bad if not worse …) at the gym and his plan to use our weaknesses to his advantage.  But first, allow us to pose you a question: Is The Gallon of Water Dude actually concerned about any of us or does he just want to advocate fatalistic acceptance of a venal, meat-headed new world order? After reading this post, you’ll sincerely find The Gallon of Water Dude is the latter.  Many peeps who follow Gallon Water Dude’s threats have come to the erroneous conclusion that the majority of impertinent slubberdegullions workout 25 hours a day, eight days a week and thus deserve occasionally to create a world without history, without philosophy, without science, without reason—a world without beauty of any kind, without art, without literature, without culture.  The stark truth of the matter is that The Gallon of Water Dude thinks we are trying to say that censorship could benefit us all.  Wait!  We just heard something … Oh, never mind; it’s just the sound of our point zooming way over Gallon Water Dude’s head.  To reiterate the main message of this rambling Monday post, widespread emotionalism is the price we’d pay for making superultrafrostified a dirty word.

The Plan-

The Workout-

Focus peeps and pay attention!  We had to dig deep in between the cushions of the couch to find this gem …

The 2 and 2

Two minute RUN out and a two-minute RUN back to the start.

20 Hard Style KB Swings

** If you actually RUN?  You should always come up short of your starting spot … 4-5 should be good.**

Notes:

Whoa?!?  Where did that all come from?  What a great way to start the week don’t you think … ENJOY!!!
