Today’ s sign of the Apocalypse:
Pinterest Profile- Who really cares?
The Plan-
We can’t help but sit up and take notice when our crack research department chimes in and tells us that our readers require constant hand holding and pats on the back. “No, no you need to eat this and do this exercise little pal.” “Oh don’t worry that your life sucks and has virtually no meaning. Just check out these 10 things to let you know you suck to cheer you up!”
It really is that easy fellow peeps!
The Workout-
Pick two of the following numbers: 100-200-300-400-500-600-700-800-900-1000
Pick two of the following movements: Push Up-Pull Up-One Arm Press–Lunge-Goblet Squat-Swing-Hinge Walk Out-One Leg Dead Lift-Bent Over Row
Over the weekend: Bent Over Row-Lunge 800/900 respectfully broken up into nice little sets throughout the weekend. Rest assured this can be done! Part of the master plan this week was to intertwine movements into your daily life and routine. Perfection and quality, remember? Beating yourself up doing high rep pull ups is pretty silly and self-serving at the least. 25 or 50 here and another 15-30 there and before you know it you get off the couch and drop into 50 push ups? Obviously some of the movements this week work better than others, it’s part of the bigger picture we try to present to you. Old Uncle Francis here has a squat rack in his garage and he goes through this same program almost weekly.
It all boils down to forming good habits that are easily repeatable and can be maintained.
How many of you feel like this after a week of pulling Random Workouts from the Netz?
Notes:
Word to the wise bloggers lurking out there on the inter-webz: It’s Friday, three long days since Valentines Day…Have an exciting and safe weekend peeps, ENJOY!!!
Update: For those of you that are in the know- Please Enjoy!!!

Put everything in the bag and no one gets hurt!?!
It’s a planned out (somewhat) playtime week here at CultFit HQ. Some of the peeps here are recovering from surgery and others are getting ready to compete this up coming weekend. Either way we are going to be putting up some interesting links and also challenging your mental toughness with the programs daily. If there was ever a week to give CultFit a try…This would be it!
The Plan-
Do you think you’re tough enough?
The Workout-
Not for time and in no particular order…
Pick two of the following numbers: 100-200-300-400-500-600-700-800-900-1000
Pick two of the following movements: Push Up-Pull Up-One Arm Press-Lunge-Goblet Squat-Swing-Hinge Walk Out-One Leg Dead Lift-Bent Over Row
We are going to be picking two a day for the rest of the week. Question is: How are you going to do it?
Notes:
No matter what the final outcome may be…ENJOY!!!

Today’s sign of the Apocalypse: Receiving 3478 emails from concerned yoga/X-Fit moms after we poke fun at their choice of water in a random blog-o-sphere post.
Now here is a really thought-provoking question this morning peeps:
Not to pull anything from the link above although we have been kicking the idea around here for sometime if you actually read this blog instead of just clicking the like thingy on a daily basis…?
Uncle Rufus always said: “The best way to answer a question is with a plethora of new questions.” Feel free to put on your Random Fitness cliché glasses at any time:
- Would you enjoy working out with yourself?
- How far would you run/bike/swim before you decided to choke’em out?
- Are you visibly upset after looking in the rear view mirror on the way to work, the gym or the local co-op?
Hmm lots of deep, textured, thought-provoking questions today. Sister Grace recently (as in yesterday) emailed us a question that we feel a vast majority of our readers ask themselves almost daily: “I want to run a marathon next month and compete in a triathlon later in the year. Problem is, I despise running and take no pleasure from it. How do I go about reaching my goals?”
Let’s leave that alone for a bit and let it marinate in your brain…or until you read about 10 exercises to improve your super-human abilities on the blog-roll?!?
The Plan-
The Workout-
From our “Not sure what to call this” series at the palatial CultFit HQ:
Pull up your Google Machine and query away “Proper Calisthenics”…Find one program to your liking and perform it for, let’s say 25 minutes. Followed by:
One, Two or Three Perfect Pull Ups (change grip each pull) followed by:
20 Thread the Needle Reverse Lunges- Each Leg (may want to Google Machine that as well) followed by:
Sprint!!! Back to bar- Rinse and Repeat about…Hmm Ten times maybe?!?
Or "yourself"...
Notes:
Sneaky little one, huh? Time to chime in peeps: Who flopped all over the place yesterday? It’s cool and a process to say the least! You would be amazed at how many people just pick a Random Workout due to the simple fact that it looks nice and spiffy. Anyways have a splendid day and ENJOY!!!

Posted: February 3, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: crossfit, fitness, free good hippie porn, free range, girl scouts, health, hippie porn, motivation, pilates, running, yoga 3 CommentsYou cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing on-
Yet another long week is coming to an end and who’s to say we didn’t have an awesome one at that? We do everything around here for a reason and contrary to some of the bloviated emails we receive daily, not everyday in the gym is all out global thermal nuclear war! As we age and time goes on we step back to realize that “You know what?” “Just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t necessarily mean that we need to do it.” We could write for the next ten months giving specific examples and spoon feed it to you with care, gently just like your are used to in your daily life. Not here, not today never at CultFit HQ- Dear reader: You are smarter than that.
The Plan-
What we are hinting at today is not the lack of willpower. That excuse is to easy to use: “Hey bitch get out-o-my face!” “The little terrorist Girl Scout said I need to eat all of these caramel delights right now, so suck it!” That’s easy, way to easy and we use it all the time (insert your own excuse right now).
Although, some of you peeps will use willpower to force yourselves to directly engage in a dangerous behavior, even when you dislike what you are doing. All of this is done you claim for the sake of acceptance. Because we are perpetual smart-asses around here and Uncle Mo likes to shout out in meetings: “Yeah, like the yoga mom/pant militia!” “Or anyone who does X-Fit to get better at yoga/pilates?” Those are some examples. You could also throw diet in as well or pretty much anything else in your daily life.
So on that note dear reader…Carry on clicking the like button after reading two sentences. Continue to run too many miles in a week. Go to your yoga class for vanity and selfish reasons (yeah that’s you isn’t it?). Let everyone know you love apple pie via twitter and most importantly: Keep doing what you are doing for acceptance?!?
The Workout-
Warm Up as you feel like and:
For about an hour or so. Followed by:
200 Perfect Push Ups
200 Goblet Squats
200 Perfect Swings
200 Reverse Lunges
200 One Arm Presses (100 each arm)
And because you have no willpower- Once you pick up the weight off the floor, it stays up!
Notes:
Hand count class?!? How many of you feel like your current program is depicted in the image below? That’s kinda what we thought, it’s fine little buddies. Rest up this weekend enjoy the Rugby game on Sunday and prepare to get after it next week, ENJOY!!!

Posted: February 1, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: courage, fitness, grace, handstand, health, living, motivation, perspective, push up, running, yoga 1 CommentThe price one pays for pursuing any profession or calling is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side-
Alright get ready for this one albóndigas! According to our Research and Admin Department here at CultFit HQ, 50.1% of our readers are of the female persuasion. “So what does that mean?” Nothing really although if we had to take bets on who opines the most today we highly recommend you take the over on the chicas at 20 emails…
Given the capricious ways of the female species let’s start with a picture to get things really fired up around here:
You don't say?
Now hmm hmm…we’re down here guys, don’t worry she isn’t going anywhere.
Bad news girls, you didn’t wake up like this and if you did you know how hard it is to stay in such peak condition…(topic for another day). Instead, and guys listen up closely as well: Try to roll out of bed being mindful of who you are and not what you wish to be?
Research has proven that the first few things you do upon waking is:
- Update your Facebook status
- Tweet you are running late for work after ignoring the alarm on your iPhone thingy
- Press the remote start on your car
Women and Men of the inter-webz please listen up! Like it or not you place an infinite amount of undue stress on your body worrying about the chic in the picture above. Stress we can live without. Awhile back we wrote about the topic of stressing over stress (Goggle it), Instead of torturing you again here is a link from a reputable spot so check it out: READ UP
The Plan-
The Workout-
Now that you have become aware of a few things let’s take a moment to expose a few glaring holes in your program…
30 Second Hand Stand Hold- No walls, no support, no flopping around (if you can’t make it this far…) followed by:
30 Hinge Perfect Push Ups (hinge once walk out and then 30 push ups)
30 Second Hand Stand Hold
25 Hinge Perfect Push Ups
30 Second Hand Stand Hold
20 Hinge Perfect Push Ups
30 Second Hand Stand Hold
15 Hinge Perfect Push Ups
30 Second Hand Stand Hold
10 Hinge Perfect Push Ups
30 Second Hand Stand Hold
5 Hinge Perfect Push Ups
30 Second Hand Stand Hold
1 Hinge Perfect Push Ups
Not that time ever really matters around here at CultFit HQ. Having said that if you struggle to do this in under 15 minutes or so or can’t do a Hand Stand without the aid of a wall? Pull up another workout from “That Site” and feel free to comment on how it worked out for you?!?
Notes:
Grace, flow, stillness and a heavy breathe all reside in the program above. Look within yourself and find the courage and confidence to take on the challenge today. Life is not easy nor is a workout pulled from some random blog-o-sphere site as easy as it seems, ENJOY!!!
