There is a very little word that we often use. It has only two letters, but it is full of power for good or evil. It is the word ‘“IF”. Do not be always fancying that IF your circumstances were different you would be different; IF only other people would be agreeable, you would; IF only you were somebody else and had their chances you would do differently; IF this, that and the other might be, all would be well with YOU.

Painful experiences lead to growth-
Being sincere and open with your feelings can make you feel vulnerable in the world we live in. When you finally open your heart? You do so with the uncertainly that other people will not treat your feelings with care and love.
Open up and let down your guard today and Risk being Sincere. Be Honest, Authentic and say what you Feel. Open your mind to creating loving interactions with those whose company you enjoy …

5 Perfect Pull Ups
5 KB Bear Crawl (Heavy! Five steps)
10 Perfect Hinge Walk Out Push Ups (Hinge peeps, HINGE)

May your hearts be filled with hope and joy today …. ENJOY!!!
Never Be the Same

In fact, we are not only reborn at the time of death, we are born and reborn at every moment-
Where would one start on the path of not being an Epic Douche?
Step one is to become aware of what and how we are thinking. Training in the gym is easy, training ourselves to be aware every second of the day of how our mind is working. The thoughts, The thinking patterns and our fundamental tendencies: Takes Time and is infinitely Hard.
Make this a habit above all else. When you set your workout/running playlist? Record a note at the beginning reminding you to be aware. A sticky note on the fridge or the dash in your car helps as well.
There is one little problem with awareness: It brings about a heightened sensitivity to the world and the other douche bags that walk Mother Earth with us. We become judgmental (just look at her ass in those Lululemon pants) and critical of ourselves (why do I always lack energy and motivation). Say hello to the never-ending vicious cycle of negativity (think of this as you read your blog roll today …). We need to Patiently (<— Key Word) learn to accept what we see and understand. Our new-found acceptance of the world leads to genuine love and positive thinking.
You can still be aware and an epic douche bag, look no further than Old Uncle Mo!
There are various techniques to help assist us in changing our attitude. A slap up side the head or a little Yoga Nidra help immensely in shaping our mind and thoughts.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Trail Run/Bike and a few Hill Sprints to get the juices flowing. Followed By:
10 Ring Dips or Regular Dips (It’s not the end of the world if you do not have rings)
20 Walking Lunges (Each Leg)
30 Seconds Jumping Rope (If you count reps … Douche?!? Get into these for 30 seconds)
Ten rounds? Sure, sounds spot on!!!
Notes:
We often lose track that every thought generated in our mind is also experienced by every cell in our body. Ever feel hot and sassy after a good run or workout, while on the bad days we feel stiff and lethargic?
Take care 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!!!

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!!!
