This is an open post in which you are encouraged and welcome to use as you wish. Email it to a friend, hang it on a mirror in the bathroom? Whatever you want to do?!? We want as many people as possible to know what we have cataloged over this past weekend: All of the Mud Run Princess’s foibles—and the list is pretty big peeps. Before we launch into our rant, permit us the prelude caveat that the Mud Run Princesses fail to consider the consequences of their uneducated, adversarial analects. In view of that, it is not surprising that whenever these Mud Run Princesses attempt to violate strongly held principles regarding deferral of current satisfaction for long-term gains, they look around waiting for applause as if they have done something decent and moral rather than wayward and disdainful. As a parting thought, remember that make up and yoga pants are not the solution to our Mud Run Princesses problems.
The Plan-
The Workout-
A nice quick and sweat inducing Warm Up followed by:
30 Minutes of Turkish Get Ups
**This is not a Sword Fight/Shirt Off/Pissing Match. Form, Flow, Grace. Allow solid, deep breathing to be the goal today.**
Notes:
Mud Runs are supposed to be fun. A time to kick back and get some dirt underneath our finger nails. All the while kicking back a few brews with a some good friends. Cardio Barre Burn class is at Noon on Mondays … Not at 9am on a lovely, brisk Saturday morning in the mud!
And to think its only Monday … ENJOY!!!

When I Walked With You Last Night

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!!!
Must read material for the week: ACSM ECP’s

Be like the tiny grass that grows
In the crevices at a giant mountain’s foot,
Be like the fragrant jasmine flower
Which fills the air with perfume sweet,
Stand like a rock if destiny cruel
Showers you with hardships, big and small,
Be sweet as rock candy to people in distress,
O naive one, just be one among all.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Something new and something fun peeps so please pay attention. Otherwise your face will find itself in a heap. A bloody one at that …
A rather quick and sweat inducing Warm Up of your choosing followed by:
One Arm High Planks (Hinge-Walkout to a high plank pose)
Key points- Index fingers facing straight forward in-line and directly underneath your Shoulders. Index fingers are directly in-line with your Shoulders\Hips\Ankles. Practice this while standing! Your eyes remain neutral, facing forward. Draw your breath in through your nose and tighten your midsection as you walk out (this is critical!).
Here’s the deal hot shots- The most important bit to doing this movement initially is to practice: Index (booger picking) fingers in-line as stated above. Your Walk Out alignment must be spot on!
Play around with this for 15 minutes or so. Try Superman Style (Arm forward, thumb up), Or try our preferred style: Hand on lower back with palm facing up!?! Followed by:
Not For Time …
10 Hinge-Walkout Perfect Push Ups
10 Hard Style KB Swings (Snappy hinge peeps, these are not squats)
250 Perfect Push Ups and 250 Swings sounds just about right.
Uncle Mo says: “You’ll only fall flat on your face once peeps!“
Notes:
Redirect your attention today. Clear your mind and thoughts while trying something new, like our super-duper engaging one arm high plank. Challenge yourself in a way you never have before. And no picking out new kicks and making a play list are not challenging. Now Fantasy Football on the other hand … Have a beautiful weekend and ENJOY!!!
You Spurn My Natural Emotions
Posted: September 5, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: fitness, happiness, health, hipster, kindness, life, love, lululemon, marathon, motivation, paleo, pilates, running, sorrow, thoughts, trail running, walking, WOD, yoga 23 CommentsIllustrious the motion in all beings, even the tiniest insect-
Continued from yesterdays little chat …
How many of us have let the moment pass? Failed in the moment to address a problem or correct a mistake on the spot? Maybe some d-bag cut ahead of you at the market. What about that time we overheard a nasty comment to another? Better yet, in the gym we keep telling ourselves to focus on proper form and movements although we never do.
To be fully present, we need not dwell on or waste time with our worries festering in our minds, our minds stuck in inaction … Could have, Should have, Would have peeps?!?
No one knows what will happen next,
Such portents fill the days and nights;
Years prophetical! The space ahead as I
walk, as I vainly try to pierce it, is
full of phantoms, Unborn deeds, things
soon to be, project their shapes around
me, This incredible rush and heat, this
strange ecstatic fever of dreams …The unperform’d, more gigantic than ever,
advance, advance upon me.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Hill Sprints, Yeah Hill Sprints!
Set 15-20 minutes aside to thoroughly Warm Up. Happy Hips and maybe, just maybe our Workout from yesterday.
Not For Time:
25-30 Hill Sprints (90-95% Max Effort)
1-5 Warm Up, 6-10 Snappy – Dynamic (Listen to your body here), 11-15 Push, 16-20 Break through your comfort zone, 20-30 Snappy – Dynamic ( Run ’em out)
Notes:
A tad deep today, for a reason … Who strips away the layers and finds the true meaning? ENJOY!!!
