Do you share a passion for discovery? A passion for embracing and seeking out new and unfamiliar events in your life? Immersing yourself in a new activity can help you transform your life in ways you never dreamed possible. Here’s how: Dipping your toes in an unfamiliar event takes Courage and Strength.
Workout- Outside in the elements. Trail Run- On an actual trail. Ride a bike- Into a 20mph headwind.
If you ever wanted to see a 5k princess melt? Head to a local trail head when it’s raining … If you want to see a gym bunny break? Hill Sprints and heavy KB Swings will do just fine.
Experiencing nature is heaven on earth. Just simply being outdoors will awaken in you a sense of vitality and infinity for life. After just a few moments outdoors a path to your core creativity will emerge in front of you. Without thinking, look up at the astonishing number of stars in the sky tonight, the leaves quietly lingering on a single tree while running a favorite path and feel the sense of vastness and spaciousness that surrounds you. As you gaze at the heavens, knowing that humanity throughout history and across continents has pondered these very stars, in this moment … You are experiencing something larger than yourself.
योजना –
कसरत –
Outdoors, in the elements …. A nice flowing Trail Run Followed by:
Park Bench Meditation (picnic tables etc.)
Find a bench with a level seat, a straight back and no arms (a level seat is all we really need) The front of the seat should not dig into the underside of your thighs. Gently place your legs side by side, your feet flat on the earth beneath them. Mindfully place both hands on your lap, one hand cupped upon the other. Release the tension in your neck and shoulder muscles. Breathe and relax your arms.
With our eyes closed, our objective is to achieve a state of complete physical stillness, calm – bliss.
नोट्स –
Be bold and find the strength to move away from fear and into something new … का आनंद लें

‘Merican linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf was spot on when he stated: “Language itself shapes a man’s basic ideas.”
Language transforms our daily experiences and firmly connects us to the past as well as to our future. Language sparks our imagination, connects us to one another. Take the time with us this week to be mindful of how important language is to our perception of reality.

For it is life, the very life of life
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness
And tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn-
This post comes from the heart and we mean this sincerely: We cherish each and every reader that stops over for a visit. Our challenge to you over the next few days and heck, until January 2nd, 2013 is to embrace and intertwine the following thoughts into every fabric of your existence.
Thoughts for living an Authentic Day:
— Just for today, I will try to live through this day only — and not tackle my whole life’s problems at once.
— Just for today, I will be happy. This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true: “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Happiness is from within — it is not a matter of externals.
— Just for today, I will adjust myself to What Is and not try to adjust everything to my Own Desires. I will take my family, my work, and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.
— Just for today, I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, and nourish it and not abuse nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my will.
— Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer all day. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
— Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways: 1- I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it will not count. 2- I will do at least two things I don’t want to do, just for exercise of will-power. 3– I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt. They may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
— Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be generous with praise and criticize not one bit nor find fault with anything. I will try not to regulate nor improve anyone.
— Just for today, I will have a program. I will write down just what I expect to do every hour. I may not follow it exactly, but I’ll have it as a pattern to follow. It will save me from the two pests – HURRY and INDECISION.
— Just for today, I will have a quiet half-hour, all by myself to relax. In this half-hour, some time, I will think of a higher power, so as to get a little more perspective to my purpose in life.
— Just for today, I will be unafraid, more specifically: I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love and to believe that those I love, love me.
The Plan-
Link of the Day: Instead of giving Random Advice to others? Take a few minutes to Learn Something Meaningful.
The Workout-
Dust off the old Kettle-Bells and meet us out back …
The CultFit KB “Bear”
Double KB Dead Clean
Double KB Front Squat + Press
Double KB Shoulder Squat + Press
Double KB Stiff Leg Dead Lift + Bent Over Row
All of the movements above, combined together in one fluid movement equals One Rep … How does 10 reps sound?!?
Notes:
Anyone and we mean anyone can learn to perform: Yoga, X-Fit, Boot Camp, Pilates, Kipping Stuff and anything else you can think of. <— This is not CultFit!
Are you familiar with the grey matter between your ears and that “thing” that beats wildly in your chest when confronted with a challenge? <— This is CultFit … ENJOY!!!
Inbetween Your Choice
Posted: November 19, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: blogging, crossfit, diet, exercise, fitness, food, happiness, health, hipster, humor, intensity, Internet, kettlebell, life, love, lululemon, marathon, Mistakes, motivation, paleo, passion, perspective, pilates, rest, running, Thanksgiving, trail running, walking, whole foods, WOD, yoga 12 CommentsDrink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future; Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life-
What does it mean to be fully present?
For starters: Stop worrying about Thanksgiving and take care of your Body – Mind – Spirit in this present moment.
A few startling patterns will begin to come into focus for us this week. Chances are you are aware that the Thanksgiving Holiday is this coming Thursday here in good ole ‘Merica! Before we get off topic on another rant (and you can probably guess where this rant will go …) we want to talk about a taboo topic around these parts: DIET.
We quite literally just finished reading the 100th blog-o-post about working out and eating right this coming Thanksgiving. Seriously peeps … Dare we tread into troubled waters?
“Oh how nice, eat less, exercise more!?! Ground breaking stuff right there!“
This type of advice is nauseating and inadequate at best. Take a quick look around at the waistlines of the lovely peeps passing by? Something should become painfully clear: Different body types use calories in different ways. Each one of us are programmed and predisposed to carry more fat, more weight than others. No kidding hot-shot – Diet and exercise help … (<—Key Word). Although when all is said and done, the solution we seek is inevitably more complicated and complex than pushing away the plate and torturing yourself in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.
One day out of one year feasting with close family and friends will not hurt … We promise!!!
**Take a moment to re-read the quote at the top of the post again, we beg of you**
The Plan-
The Workout-
Let’s start with a nice refreshing Happy Hips Warm Up. Followed By:
150 Alternating Goblet Squats (flowing)
150 Hard Style KB Swings (snappy)
150 Perfect Push Ups (even power)
Slice ’em and Dice ’em as you see fit … 15×10 works pretty well?!?
Notes:
Be fully present peeps, it’s all we ask … ENJOY!!!

Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away-
Feel free to play along at your desk … This visualization is short and sweet, we promise?!?
Hidden “Inside” all of us lies the basic fundamental keys to understanding the world.
If you are unfamiliar with “Russian Nesting Dolls,” or if you were cool before they were cool … Matryuschka Dolls. These are the wooden, eloquently detailed figurines, when opened, reveal another pristine doll, inside the doll … You guys understand how they work or you watched a lot of Sesame Street growing up.
The Plan-
Link of the day: Sleepy Time <—Must Clicky!!!
The Workout-
Rest Day … A gentle Salute to the Sun followed by:
Google Machine – Check!
Search “Crocodile+Breathing” – Got it!!!
Strike a “Dead Man Pose (face down)” – Already there!!!
Breathe.
**This is a fantastic way to wind down the day after work.**
Notes:
Most of the answers we need answered are inside of us, quietly waiting to be discovered. Take care today peeps and ENJOY!!!
