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 …

“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!!!
The Plan-
The Workout-
Take a moment to watch this video: One Race, Every Medalist Ever!!!
Our signature Happy Hips Warm Up followed by:
5k Pulse Trail Run … ?!?
Notes:
What you got Britain? Oh … Infinitely better beer. That’s a biggie for us to forget about! Have an awesome day today curious and motivated peeps, ENJOY!!!

Well you have done it once again. You have wasted yet another splendid week reading the ramblings of CultFit HQ. Bravo, dear reader(s)!
Like looking at the glorious pictures of others lives is extremely easy and addicting. The hedonic treadmill is awfully easy to hop onto as well. Slowly, each and everyday we begin to take our current lives for granted. Always trying to reach the next level of fulfillment. Try to understand that the hedonic treadmill is not a necessary part of living life. Can you keep a secret? It’s perfectly acceptable to enjoy what you have, right now – at this very moment. Look around you … That is enough!
**While we take a moment to water our parched and withering flowers outside. Punch “Hedonic Treadmill” into your Google Machine.**
Let’s Go Explore the Wonderful World Around Us!!!
The Plan-
This is without doubt the photo of the Olympics:

The Workout-
Simply take a moment today and dedicate yourself to “yourself“. It very well may be the hardest thing you have done so far this week … We woke up early and peacefully went for a nice Walk and lost ourselves in a nice quite Yoga progression.
Notes:
Be happy today and make it great! Over the weekend? Have fun, shop for some Poo Paper and ENJOY!!!
Crackin Good Job Boys!

And not in a ‘just to make me come’ kinda way. In a real way-
Welcome once again to a lovely Thursday blog-o-post about nothing. We still have a bad taste in our mouths from “What I Ate Wednesday“. As a side note: Who really cares what the hell you ate on a random Wednesday?!? Unless you are stopping over in the Shire to make us lunch? Zip it up!!! Where were we? Oh, the best Olympic highlights so far! Spoil and waste away the day at work getting caught up on the latest and greatest.
Before we get into the thick of things we feel you need to know a bit more about the British culture and why the summer games are so important to all of us. This fine 14 minute documentary is all you need to know about England/Turnipshire/The Midlands …
Onto our highlights:
The Plan-
Game Time!!! The first peep to chime in on EXACTLY what is wrong in this picture will win something …
The Workout-
Rest Day to watch and catch up with the Olympics.
Notes:
Don’t be shy Yoga-Moms … You know exactly what is wrong in the picture!?! You’re brave enough to train like an animal however are you brave enough to tell the blog-o-world you are a passionate Beiber fan? Have fun today peeps and ENJOY!!!
