Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love at all seasons, madam: that is all there is to distinguish us from other animals-

Talk about kicking the proverbial hornets nest!  If you missed the post from yesterday?  Who are we kidding you didn’t miss anything of actual importance or some groundbreaking new science … or did you?!?

Normally each and every Thursday is a Rest day and we play some silly games, please don’t rush off in a pissy mood!  We will get to them in a minute (better make that 15 minutes … A rant is brewing).

Pop Quiz Time:  Are you reading this post today comfortably in your underwear, due to sex?  The correct answer is yes!  We, YOU, all of the above have adopted such a myopic view of the world that primarily focuses on ME.  Step back and strip away all the layers that bog us down … Last time we checked Uncle Pliny’s parents had SEX (Spoiler Alert) 42 years ago and he is writing this post today due to that one-act, which didn’t last very long!

So if you are still pissed off from yesterday?  Oh well, maybe this will make you feel better:  Are Men Going Extinct…

The answer is YES (If you take the time to read this you will be kindly rewarded)!

Where were we?  Oh standing in line at Whole Foods looking at the fine Chica on the cover of the new Yoga Journal.  Hmm…”I wonder why she’s on the cover?  It would be blasphemous to think it was due to sex!?!
Roll up your sleeves and keep your shirt on!  It’s time to play: “Best Caption Wins Something“!!!

The Plan-

The Workout-

Rest Day = Yoga, A Nice Walk and Some Self Reiki

Notes:

Deep cleansing breath … ENJOY!!!


Be Who You Are…

Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist-

Today’s Sign of the Apocalypse:  For those of you who enjoy a REAL Triathlon?  Say hello to the Newer – Cooler – Extreme … You suck version!!!

**Reebok X-Fit will leave no fitness program or methodology untouched as it ravages bodies around the globe**

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!!!


Afternoon Sorpresa

Write drunk, edit sober-

There is no point or logic behind this wasteful post.  Just a couple of videos that are about to go viral…

**THIS SECOND VID IS NSFW!  Or if you live in England … Perfectly acceptable, mate!**

Tuesday 3 July 2012

Born too late to explore the world.  Born too early to explore the universe-

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!)

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!!!
