The decision is yours. Either you can look at the witty, avant-garde photos with a chuckle and a smile? Or, if you like you are free to hang around as we strip back a few layers for your viewing pleasure?!?
Day one peeps clearly understand we give only a few shakes of the proverbial lamb’s tail when it comes to site stats and dreadful “stuff“ like that. It’s not what drives us or motivates us; Past, present or future! However we have been seeing quite a few emails and messages of late asking: “What is up with this nonsense over here at CultFit HQ, bro or brah (if you hail from Eugene, OR)?” From what we gather from our ongoing conversations with these fine folk is that peeps are really tiring of the Extreme, ELITE, Kranked and Cardio Barre Burn fitness fads (Ja Ja Ja).
These words will read as highbrow and superior. Conveying tone in a blog-o-post can be arduous to say the least … We stand before you humble and laid bare.
One of the driving forces if not the only principle for CultFit is Karma Yoga. Quite simply, Karma Yoga is the gentle practice of giving back to the communities of which you are a part. CultFit has two parts: What you see here before you and if you ever get up off your un-motivated butt? Our offline, more intimate version. In our most pure form we embrace Seva, selfless service. Seva is an act of kindness and generosity that neither demands, nor expects, reciprocation.
Now this is where old Uncle Mo gets all pissy about the “Money Grab“ and “Look at Me“ ELITE individuals of the world (Those in the Know -Know whom we speak of) … Not today, we promise!
One of the great hall marks of our generation is that, more times than not we only take and not give back. A friend recently defined the Law of Karma as to say: “You get what you give.” We implore you (along with us) to give back to those around you! We are not talking about writing a post about your new shoes, heart rate monitor or What You Ate for Wednesday (Damn, that’s today … Oops!). Hypothetically speaking it would be refreshing NOT to read and hear about peeps: Volunteering at a local food kitchen, Donating time after work to mentor young kiddos, Helping an elderly neighbor …
If you would like to learn more about what we offer off of the inter-webz or if you would like to share ideas about giving back? Contact us at: cultfit@gmail.com
Now back to our regularly scheduled program:
Slowly we will purge the Justin Bieber’s of the musical world …

The Plan-
The Workout-
One example of giving back to your community:
The hover-moms thought a merry-go-round was way too dangerous? Coconut water has never looked so glorious spilling from someones mouth as when they saw this apparatus above!!!
Not For Time …
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Thick Grip Barbell Curls and Perfect Push Ups (Feet up Peeps) Followed by:
Take the number of stops you make this morning going to work (Stop sign, street light etc) x 10 and this will determine how many Hard Style KB Swings you perform later tonight!
Notes:
So what does all this mean? If from here on out, each and every time you open the “CultFit has published a new post” email on your precious iPad? Think of this: We as individuals may not get what we give. Although in giving, we keep this whole darn world thing running. Be well today and ENJOY!!!

Posted: February 9, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: body, fitness, health, mind, motivation, perspective, self, self reiki, spirit, yoga WOD 3 CommentsI cannot make the universe obey me. I cannot make other people conform to my own whims and fancies. I cannot make even my own body obey me-
“This is so typical of them…” If you are easily offended and are not wrapped in a semblance of composure this wonderful morning? Just enjoy the pic below and carry on doing your Thursday inter-webz thing.
The Plan-
Yoga, what a pleasant little word that is often used for all the wrong reasons. The crass and socially awkward crowd here believes yoga is an indisputable power to enliven physical well-being in all aspects of our daily lives.
It pains up deeply when we read and see pictures of individuals showing an outward display of self-love when in actual they struggle in other aspects of daily life. Yoga is not a struggle! Yoga when practiced purely for physical purposes will gently take you down a dark path…Don’t believe us? Drop in or poke your nose in the window on a 7am yoga class at Life Time Fitness. It should be noted that we are simply not being “Easy Stance Man” today. That’s for those of you who speak in platitudes and pin your beliefs, wants and wishes on Pinterest.
A couple of facts for you to Google:
- 90 percent of the Yoga practiced consists of asanas (poses), and it is more likely to be pursued for body toning and weight loss benefits than for spiritual transcendence.
- The typical Yoga practitioner is an educated woman in her mid-30’s with above-average income, living in an urban setting and perceiving herself as being in better physical shape than the average person.
It’s that last bit that we want to dissect here with you today- Perceiving herself as being in better physical shape than the average person.
The Problem is:
With all due respect to the women above- We would rather share a nice cup of tea and a wide-ranging conversation with the lady in background.
“Damn Son! How did all of this start?” Simply, Just yesterday during our weekly yoga class at CultFit HQ, Brother Caleb brought his gal friend along for the ride. And what better way to say hello than smarting about yoga pants: “Like check out these new Lululemon pants! You would never notice (my camel toe) while wearing these!” Western society sure knows how to muck things up don’t they?!?
The Workout-
Rest Day
Which usually means some of the following in this order:
Leg Drains, Self Reiki, Knee Replacement Surgery (Brother Jeremiah), Meditation (not yoga wise asses) and reading/listening to NPR (<—–Gotta Click This One Peeps!!!)
Notes:
While you are busy fussing about because someone just urinated all over your sacred yoga. Take the time over the next few days to step back and put life in perspective, ENJOY!!!
