The last time we tried this little segment we like to call “Sucking the joy out of what you love“. The cyclist of CultFit took to their pitchforks and spades to start an agrarian revolt against us. We were brow beaten to a bloody pulp, by cyclist. We learned a few things that day: Cyclist certainly are a peculiar bunch and are easily stirred up into a frenzy. Skiers on the other hand …
Skiing in Jeans (You won’t find this story on JoggingJeans) <— Not your typical exlex “blog” …
A Dude that Actually Listens to His Body
The Joy of being Outdoors, Skiing and not UPDATING your Status …
The Plan-
The Workout-
Rest Day … A few minutes waxing the old ski’s, adjusting the bindings and waiting for some snow to fall.
Notes:
What’s worse: Getting hit by a car? Falling off a ski lift? Or sharing an intimate moment whilst skiing into a tree, at full speed? We have stories about all of these and more, what about you? Rest up today and ENJOY!!!

The CultFit Canada-Land Rock Hat Trick:
The Plan-
The Workout-
Rest Day … A deep, passionate, heartfelt Sun Salutation series to awaken the senses in the AM … Then off to the Ice Rink later in the afternoon for a spot of skating with the kiddos.
Notes:
Bieber Fever? Maybe some Nickleback, Celine Dion and Snow for next week?!? Moving on, Many members of the CultFit staff have finally realized that the Winter Classic is going to be cancelled. This is not necessarily a bad thing peeps!?! What else is there to do in Michigan during the winter months anyways? Be well today and ENJOY!!!

Top Tips, Advice, Input … All of these are tedious and boring, something we painstaking try not to push your way. The closest we have ever come to “Advice” is ‘Ole Uncle Mo gently slapping you up side the noggin, and let’s be honest: We all need a good slap up side the head from time to time.
So on that note, we will be tossing out some talking points this week as we slowly start to fall into hibernation here in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a slow process but we all do it, yeah you too!!! Our hibernation starts with the shorter days and the cooler temps, then the excuses start to pour in: Too Cold, Too Dark, Too Many Pumpkin Spiced Everything’s!
“Hey girl! Check out the Chica over on the treadmill. Yeah, the one there chatting up the new trainer dude … She has and will soon have everything you want in life?!?”
Jealousy and Envy are great personal tools to use, albeit when used with tact and great care.
Jealousy and Envy are rather ugly, nasty emotions we display more times during the day than we initially thought. You know what though? These handy little emotions secretly tell us the truth about our inner-most feelings. When was the last time you envied or were jealous of someone having a flip-phone? Never … The fact is: You only envy those who have what you desire the most … You are only jealous when you feel someone has taken something from you.
Most of you reading today spend too much time running away from life, quite literally in fact. If we stop for a moment to embrace our emotions, whatever they may be? We can learn so much from them. Our emotions are here: To teach us, to guide us and to help us make the tough decisions we face in life.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Dust off the Jump Rope and let’s get after this program while the day is still young.
Mess around with your trusty rope for a few minutes to Warm Up. Followed By:
Jump Rope (for one minute)
3 Turkish Get Ups (each side)
Once again this is not AMRAP … 30 minutes would be nice?!? If you fancy yourself as Uncle Rico? Carry on with AMRAP, just keeping it real peeps!
Notes:
Jealousy and Envy (when used properly) can open up the world you were oblivious to or may have taken for granted, before you read this post of course!?! Take care today and ENJOY!!!
End of the Day

Don’t rush encounters with coworkers, family and friends.
Speak softly. Listen attentively.
Act as if every conversation you have is the most important thing on your mind today.
Look your children and your partner in the eyes when they talk to you.
Stroke the cat, caress the dog.
Lavish love on every living being you meet.
See how different you feel at the end of the day.

Think less, feel more-
Sadly, we have resorted to drastic measures peeps. Normally we like to keep it light and fluffy on Thursdays, always have and always will, maybe?!? The proverbial line in the sand has been drawn, until the NHL starts playing again? We will be showing cheeky Canadian videos on Thursday mornings … Sorry.
**Be forewarned! It’s all downhill from here, Strange Brew and Degrassi Junior High vid’s are on tap for next week.**
The Plan-
The Workout-
Rest Day … A brisk Walk and some Leg Drains. Simple.
Who knows? Maybe you and your ironic self-will make it on Style Blaster. <—To be cool before it’s cool? Click Me!!!
