There really is no need to set up this video for you this morning … Its brilliant:
Where were we?!? Diversions!
More times than not it seems that we have forgotten all about the simple diversions in our lives that help us to decompress from our daily concerns. For many of our Dear Readers this moment of forgetfulness can be found in at the local gym, a yoga mom class or a trail run in a nearby park. This sacred refuge can also be found in our gardens where tilling soil can clear away the stress of a rough day. For many others chopping up some veggies in the kitchen sweeps away the frustrations of our nagging boss at work. We may also find relief chatting amongst friends one night down at the pub or out in the bright sunshine during a weekend morning walk with a close friend. This place may also reside on the inter-webz. Where we can roar with laughter at a silly pooch jumping on a trampoline.
Wherever this place is for you, peeps it is vitally important for us to go there regularly. The more you punish yourself Running, Training, Lifting, Dieting? The very people around you don’t get the best of you! It very well may be in these quiet diversions that we find peace … “Sh!t Son!!! Did you see that dog try to do a nose-stand!?!“
The Plan-
The Workout-
We were just finishing making a sandwich when you stopped over for a visit, how nice of you!
Happy Hips Warm Up followed by a nice 30 Minute Trail Run, and finishing with a Happy Hips Cool Down.
If you want to add some zing to your sammy? Just add, oh let’s say … 100 Hard Style KB Swings after the Trail Run.
Notes:
Let these numbers marinate in the old noggin for a spell: 10k and 30 minutes. Go ahead and say these numbers out loud at your desk … 10k, 30 minutes!
You Got Smoked By a 13 Year Old Dude?!?
To be a kid again?!? We spend our whole entire adult lives trying to be young in body. How about young in heart and mind? Be well today and ENJOY!!!
Mirror In the Bathroom … Please Talk Free

Please bear with us as we try to draw a parallel between learning to live and failing in today’s hyper-drive, pressure to succeed society …
For many it has become de rigeur for us stress out over every possible challenge that we may face during the day. We no longer take the time to step back and evaluate the situation. We simply lack these skills today. We search for the solution on our iPhone or the Google Machine and stress even more after the damn system crashes! Many of the same issues we face today were addressed by generations before us through more naturalistic means: They took a few steps back and figured the problem out themselves! Today? We place too much emphasis on perfection and achieving, more stress and more problems.
A classic example: “I’m running late with the kids, the house is a mess and work is nuts! Let me look up a quick 10 minute workout I just have to squeeze in“ … An hour later on Pinterest? Same problems, More stress!
Part of our hidden agenda here at CultFit is equipping you (our dear readers) with the tools needed to navigate around in our increasingly frantic world. Think about this: Does your training program mimic the architecture of “YOUR“ real life, in which you receive varying workouts at different times and in different amounts? We fully expect you to struggle, make mistakes and learn over time. Do you?!?
Allow more time for individualism to creep into your program, more failure, find your own solutions. We already have enough pressure to succeed in life …
The Plan-
Dedication, Passion, Love … Brad Canning poured his soul into this awesome video! We’re geeks here and this is like LvL 100 Geek Porn!!!
The Workout-
The Warn Up today is of your choosing! Happy Hips? Trail Run? Swimming? Once you finish up, we’re going for a Walk?
A 45lb Plate, Some Kettlebells or even a Heavy Sandbag all work this morning. Pick one up and let’s Walk!
Farmers Walk, Heartbeat Press, Piston Press, One Arm Waiters Walk, Rack Hold, One Arm Farmers Walk … For ONE mile!
Top Tip: Allow your breathing to control your midsection (the word “core” is lame. Yoga mom’s work the “core”.)
**Once you pick the weight up and take your first step? It stays up the ENTIRE WALK! Penalty: 10 Goblet Squats.**
Notes:
It really has been a splendid week ’round these parts and we owe it all to you! You guys are amazing, “special” and most importantly: Authentic! While we have your attention please take a moment to say hello to our dear friend Somer: Why Vegan? Vedged Out. If only a handful of the 31,892 peeps who stopped by CultFit yesterday took the time to read her inspirational story? You would walk away inspired to say the least!
Have a great weekend peeps and ENJOY!!!

Ca Plane Pour Moi
Posted: September 12, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: Apple, crossfit, exercise, fitness, gluten free, happiness, health, hipster, iPhone 5, Justin Beiber, kettlebell, life, living, love, lululemon, marathon, paleo, pilates, trail running, walking, whole foods, WOD, yoga 22 CommentsLiving vicariously through the experiences of others-
Today’s sign of the Apocalypse: Justin Beiber offered pro hockey contract!?!
This post is going to get little or no attention from you today. Why you may ask? Primarily due to the launch of the new iPhone which you are obsessed with as well as trying to look like somebody else …
Living vicariously through others has permeated every facet of our fitness lives, so much so that we all assume that everyone should have “rock hard abs” and “salacious curves and tasty thighs” Peeps, sometimes we all need to take a step back and remember that we workout to be healthy, not to look like someone else.
Some of these fitness models we see on Pinterest and Tumblr have some very nice features, like “Huge fake breasts and flawless spray tans“. But really, at the end of the day, this person is just a fitness model. You may strive endlessly to obtain their body … If you’re working out to simply stay healthy and to keep active? Chances are you are not a fitness model, bummer. Being authentic and embracing who you are may not get you on the cover of Shape, and it’s certainly not going to wow your Pinterest obsessed friends. But trust us, you are doing a fine job already.
And if you could so kindly give us another second of your time: This is really important. The ThinSpo/FitSpo peeps are currently running the fitness world asylum, and the dedicated hardworking people who just want to workout and have fun: Feel like they need to kill themselves in the gym and spend $$$ on the best gear if they are going to be considered “serious.” Working out and being active should not be balls to the wall back-breaking work all the time. It’s supposed to be fun. FitSpo has its place if all you care about is looks and vanity (Yeah … “its my B-Day peeps here in the blog-o-world”). Although if you’re going out with some mates for a run or bike ride? Or simply enjoying a holiday weekend camping with the family? Enjoy yourself as you are!!!
We joke around a lot around here but we are dead serious when we say that the DSM-IV has begun the process of classifying ThinSpo as a mental disorder, take that for what its worth peeps!
The Plan-
The Workout-
Tag! Your it!!! I’ll grab the kettlebells and you grab the gallon jug of water … We’ll begin out back in a bit!
A nice Trail Run and our classy Happy Hips Warm Up Followed by:
With a mate …
One person Runs one minute out and back. The other person can either perform a KB Rack Hold or Goblet Squats.
Not just ten squats or whatever … Keep moving the whole time while your partner is out running! Switch up and carry on for about 20 minutes.
**No sandbagging or being a prick to your mate! An honest effort pays off here today peeps.**
Notes:
Who are we kidding? Another post about being authentic just whizzed by your head: “Must pre-order iPhone 5 in white …“
ENJOY!!!
