Natural ability is by far the best, but many men have succeeded in winning high renown by skill that is the fruit of teaching-

Notes:

Other blog-o-sphere types will spend countless words and minutes of your precious time trying to convince you to try something else.  Maybe even try to show how much more perfect you would be just by “Doing these seven things to improve your diet…?”  If you made it this far though our little post today, keep this question in mind:  How many blogs GIVE and FORCE FEED you useless information?  ENJOY!!!

Men should be what they seem; Or those that be not, would they might seem none!-

Recently our crack Webz Support staff compiled some useful numbers and provided us with the following juicy details:

7395 Peeps daily visit us with a smile on their face (gotta learn to turn the web-cam thingy off readers).

1% of these visitors stop on by here at CultFit HQ due to the increase in popularity of X-Fit and whatnot.  That’s cool, as we still have a few horses that run in the X-Fit race.  Although as part of our therapy for people who are completely self-absorbed and are going to do whatever they choose no matter what?  We present you with the X-Fit LvL 1 Cheat Sheet:

If you study the image above there is no way to fail the test.  We promise this is the last time we talk about “Those People”…

The Plan-

We love getting emails from you, our dear readers!  Especially ones where a position is thought out and makes us pause for a moment.

Brother Daniel writes:  “love the site and the different take on things you guys provide.  A couple quick questions:  Why the random assortment of links and do you really have to go on and on about the same things almost weekly?  I have only been reading since January of this year so please take it into consideration…”

Thank you, hope this answer helps:  The links provided here on the side were sent in by readers like you who found them to be very useful.  We weed out the junk and have tested each program you see and they work!

This blog-o-sphere thing is a running dialog between us and all of you reading in the bath.  It’s nuanced and wide ranging…The path we take is mostly up to you?!?

The Workout-

This is odd occurrence today at CultFit HQ mainly due to the fact that the dude who normally provides our Random Workout guidance had articular cartilage (knee) micro-fracture surgery yesterday.  So on that note, we empower you to look inward and do something you truly love and enjoy today:

Isn’t it always nice to start the day watching the sun rise and end the day reading a book about the stars with a loved one?

Play with the kids, Go for a walk, Dinner/Lunch with friends basically anything that puts a SMILE on your face.

There is so much more to life than killing yourself during a program and punishing every fiber in your body for trivial purposes daily.

Notes:

Homework for the weekend is to read THIS ARTICLE.

Where do you stand?  Technically is all food not genetically modified?  Just as in yoga/pilates/X-Fit and many others, do we merely shop at Whole Foods for the outward appearance it projects?  Take note:  Easy stances and clichéd answers are invalid!    Have fun this weekend and most importantly, ENJOY!!!

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others-

Time to shake things up fellow peeps.  “Do you sense that?”  Yeah things have been a bit copastetic around here to begin the year.  Nice and cool, marinating in the sauce of life…

Maybe it’s time for a change of perspective?  Keep doing what you had planned today as we move our chair over here just a little bit.  There’s more light and honestly; it smells a lot better.

The Plan-

Oh don’t mind us, seriously take your time doing your social media thing.  You may want to charge up the battery before you head out the door?

Just one quick question as we ease into the day.  Hopefully you don’t mind?  When will you step out of the box you are in?

The Workout-

Rest Day

It may be too late for some of you so if you like keep this in your back pocket for another day?

Before dawn find a quite spot and just chill enjoying the sight of the Sun rising above the horizon…”Hey jack ass get moving you are holding up the traffic here.  I’m late for my 6:30am yoga class!”

Notes:

Relax, refresh and most importantly, ENJOY!!!


Monday 23 January 2012

Luck affects everything. Let your hook always be cast. In the stream where you least expect it, there will be a fish-

Take that sun…

The Plan-

Many of you know that our line of thinking here at the always classy CultFit HQ goes as follows:  Body weight movements trump anything else we do in a program,  period!

The logic is that if you can’t efficiently move yourself properly during a program you have no purpose adding weight until you can.  The same goes for a bunch of other things:  Walking before learning how to run as an example.  It’s funny as adults seem to forget this as the years wear on and add up.  Old Uncle Sachmo here of course was running as an infant before he learned how to crawl…Hmm why do so many old peeps seem to forget this as they train for their 5 hr long marathon?  Oh well, we’re older and obviously so much smarter than a little stinky infant.

The Workout-

Pulled from our “Time to start” series at CultFit HQ:

Bike/Walk…Preferably outside and with a fair amount of effort put into it.

5-4-3-2-1 Perfect Pull Ups (ease into them and develop power from your torso-core-trunk-whatever the experts are calling it now)

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Perfect Push Ups and Perfect One Arm Presses (same as above…)

10 Minutes or so of the following:

Find a pace and rhythm and knock out some Goblet Squats for ten straight minutes (key is finding the right weight to push yourself just a little bit).

Notes:

have fun today and ENJOY!!!


Friday 20 January 2012

The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken-

So what have we been bloviating about all week for?  Over 2000 loaded words never truly getting to the meaning of our message.  Sometimes the prolixity of what we do to ourselves is nauseating and we quite never realize what we are doing until, well…we get injured or those last few precious breathes we take.

Simply:  Until you are completely and utterly comfortable with who you are.  You will never be able to achieve what you want to be.

2000 words or 23…which path do you want to take?

The Plan- 

The Workout- 

There is no time or restrictions today.  Find balance and peace in whatever you may do, this is what we did here at CultFit HQ:

Quite Meditation Drifting away and focusing energy on any nagging injuries or pain

Leg Drains and Inversions

Notes:

Rest up over the weekend and have fun with the family or some close friends, ENJOY!!!
