You must know your strengths (the size of your back) and endure the weight that fate puts on it. You must leave it to providence to remove some of your burden or put more. If you falter while carrying the weight around, then treat each one as a learning for the soul. It is a fair deal-
If you are anything like us (we hope you are not) you have waited until the last-minute to do your holiday shopping, well done.
What if we told you that the greatest gift you could possibly give doesn’t cost a penny, not one?!?
Our gift to you, Presence: A open Heart and a receptive Mind.
Presents are great! Don’t get us wrong although at times they fail to convey the thoughtfulness and generosity of simply being Present.
Relationships, sharing the Memory of your first Christmas as a new parent and creating new Stories to share next year.
Have you really listened to the stories of the lovely peeps in your life? Might we suggest giving the greatest gift of all this holiday season… Presence.
The Plan-
The Workout-
A nice flowing Warm Up consisting of some Balance Beam work and Jumping/Climbing some rope. Followed by:
20 Perfect KB Floor Presses
20 Perfect Push Ups
20 KB Cleans
200-300-400 … Total reps is up to you? Or carry on for 30 minutes?!?
Notes:
Be well this weekend and ENJOY!!!

Have you seen rift between parents and children?
They live in harmony until self-importance takes over.
What of father and what of son, when ego reigns?
Then, the relationship is blighted.
The Plan-
The Workout-
When our hearts are heavy and our minds are filled with troubling thoughts … We find ourselves once again in the “Basics” …
A brisk early morning Walk and some Hill Sprints to invigorate the soul. Followed by:
20 Perfect Push-ups
10 High Push Up Plank Rows
5 KB Military Press (Each Arm- HEAVY)
1 – 10 -15 times through? It’s up to you …
Notes:
Often when we are feeling saddened by society, we enjoy drifting away in a good book(s) and baking?!? Baking … CultFit style this Thursday peeps. Be well today and ENJOY!!!
The Gift of Freedom

It needs carefulness; needs levelheadedness. The yogi does not connect with anything, nor reject it. He lives essentially alone. –Mankuthimma
Today’s sign of the Apocalypse: Subway Death Photos
** Read the story closely enough and you will find out that ALL OF US … Are part of the problem. It’s a sad world we live in … **
Our lives are Precious, our lives are Short. When you set forth on your journey today, don’t do “things” simply for the sake of doing them. Be present and take a keen look around at what you are doing in the moment. Only then move forward if you feel there is something meaningful to your action(s). If you fail to find any usefulness in what you are currently doing? Drop it and move onto the next “thing”. If you do so early enough in the day (shower or coffee in the AM)? You have the potential to avoid an enormous amount of unnecessary pain and suffering. Dwell in Positivity by thoroughly enjoying the “things” you love! Life is too short to spend it doing anything else.
If you don’t enjoy what you are doing, then don’t do it. It’s as simple as developing the Courage, the Will Power to stop.
Why is so hard for us to spend our time and energy on the very “things” that bring fulfillment and happiness in our lives?
The Plan-
The Workout:
Work yourself into a thick broozle followed by:
10 Heavy Single Arm KB Swings (snappy)
10 KB Halo’s (each direction)
10 KB Hang Clean + Press (single arm)
10 Goblet Squat Bob + Weave (5 each side – eyes forward)
Form, Flow and Grace … 20-40 minutes.
Notes-
Have we reached a stage in our society where running a 5k is easier than resisting the urge to Update your Facebook status? Sadly, we think it is. We could even make the argument that running a marathon is easier than sitting down to write an actual letter, you know … Pen and Paper!?!
We never like to start off the weekend on a somber note, today is different. Pearl harbor remembrance day is today … A time to reflect. Be well this weekend and ENJOY!!!
Save Me

Now put foundations under them-
Buckle up Poets, Scribes, Word Smiths, Yoga Moms/Dads and Curious Minded Fitness peeps …
How do you think about engaging in a healthy lifestyle, while at yoga- running etc.
When the poet or writer sits down, lost in the creative consideration of their ideas, “things” and processes not immediately present. Our experiences are composed of touch, visual and maybe even perhaps olfactory sensations (the reward of smelling stinky after a nice run). Our imagination of visual images, the feelings of our body, gentle rhythms being played out around us and the blissful patterns we are creating …
Please consider this profound thought this fine Wednesday morning:
Just as the verbal skills we associate with writing are not primary to the creative process. The same thought applies to how you create your workout program (anything goes- X-Fit, Boot Camp, Yoga, Pilates … ). The movements should be secondary … Allow your imagination to run wild and find passion in the way you express yourself. The words, the movement you put forth.
The Plan-
Ladies of CultFit?!? This is what “Guys” like.
The Workout:
If you need this space here for your motivation to workout today? It’s not here as a prompt to awaken your heart … Look inside yourself and only in there will you find what you truly want to do today.
If it matters? We went for a nice Walk and did some Balance Beam work and a few dozen Perfect Pull Ups, Heaven.
Notes-
All too often we struggle to find the meaning to why we workout, write daily or check in Four Square?!? Are you merely going through the motions of life or do you embody who and what you are … ENJOY!!!
Sour Times

Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search or struggle. Just Be-
In today’s increasingly complex world. Each and every minute it’s becoming harder to experience the relative simplicity of the seconds of the day passing by. We will take the moral low road and blame this on the discovery of “Social Media” which we have become both liberated and enslaved by its mind-numbing power. Thanks to this we are virtually drowning in a sea of irrelevance.
Have we willingly given up our ability to think for ourselves?
The Plan-
The Workout:
A quick flowing Warm Up … A little balance beam work and jumping the old rope. Followed By:
10 Standing Broad Jumps (five out and five back)
20 Hard Style Kettle-Bell Swings (Snappy)
Five rounds sound good enough to you?
Notes-
We are going to going this topic into submission this week, oh joy! Take care today and ENJOY!!!
