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!!!

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!!!
That Was Me – I Did This …

Now that you have prepared for any challenge in your way. You can’t wait to go out and prove yourself to the world!
Today you are making history!!! Today is a day for the ages. What you achieve today is a story you’ll tell your kids and grand kiddo’s over and over (nauseously) just so see their eyes widen when you say, “That was me! I did this!”
Take a moment to think of all the great first moments in sports history: The very first Olympics. Tom Brady’s first touchdown pass, Your first pair of $125.00 Lululemon yoga pants and Tim Tebow running shirtless in the rain. What you achieve today will be right there, the pinnacle of all of these great moments.
Completely off topic. Here is our solution to the empty seat(s) mess at the London Summer Olympics:
The Plan-
Just wait for it … Chad Le Clo’s Father, Burt Le Clo?!? Let’s just say he’s welcome over anytime!!!
**Apologies for the video and audio quality. We had cut back on our production budget.**
The Workout-
Our Warm Up is the exact opposite of what you did yesterday. Dial the intensity knob down to about three and simply have fun. Followed by:

Put yourself out there today and achieve something great! Have fun and ENJOY!!!
Compassion is for Chumps …
Posted: July 31, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: compassion, crossfit, happiness, health, hipster, life, love, motivation, natural, Olympics, paleo, perspective, pilates, snoop dog, Summer, trail running, WOD, yoga 17 CommentsThe most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend–
Those cheeky Buddhist! Surprisingly, 2500-year-old Buddhist traditions contain some very basic and fundamental truths about our own human nature that we are slowly warming up to. One of these traditions (the one we like to chat about the most) is that humans are inherently social beings! Our brains are wired for building relationships, love, compassion and working together. The individualistic, look at me and my precious life and competition of our modern lives has led to an imbalance not only within ourselves but rather in everything we see around us. As the Summer Olympics roll along we get a first hand look at the results of this: Anxiety, Loneliness, Pain.
What’s the point of this post today? Being compassionate to ourselves is pretty darn cool and not something you should avoid. When you do finally accept compassion into your life? We all become more accepting of others, period!!!
Have a listen to the new Snoop Lion if you like?

The Plan-
15 year old Gold Medalist … Ruta Meilutyte
The Workout-
Our Warm Up today is our Workout, Maybe?!?
Start with a nice Walk and listen to your body. If you like running (Insert anything here peeps)? Run after a little bit … Get after it today to the tune of 90-95 max effort%
Notes:
Now this may seem gauche and out-of-place today however seeing that many of our readers are firmly entrenched in the Elite/Warrior/Extreme/Insane/Kranked fitness craze of late? Allow compassion to move you forward. Uncle Mo (A true Man’s-Man) is not asking you this today … Rather screaming at the top of his lungs this message of compassion. Compassion is the key to your fitness and healthy goals! Try it and ENJOY!!!
Let’s Start The Week Off Right …
