“Yeah, Chaz. :::heavy breathing::: I’m calling during my lunch hour. Just getting in my scheduled afternoon bikram yoga session in. AHHHHHH.”
“Zoey, you really didn’t need to call us from the yoga studio!?!”
“Oh I’m not at the yoga studio. :::heavy breathing::: I’m actually just … ahhhhhh the burn! Feel it! Damn! … I’m just sitting in my office with a space heater on full blast! Between the sweet pouring off my body and the humidifier …”
“Hey, I don’t mean to be difficult, but I gotta go do things and see people in an hour, so can we just get on with this meeting already?”

The Plan-
Why not?
It’s been a few months since we acted like a kid and had generous amounts of fun doing some work. To recap the week so far: Work, Yoga, Rest and now Tumbling! Pay close attention today and relate the fluid movement of yoga to the tumbling movements. Or at least try…There is a connection here, channel Gymnastic Floor routine and Yoga…
The Workout-
It’s critical to build a nice lather before you do this program. So on that note, it’s -4c and windy: Time for a Trail Run.
Forward Rolls X 10
Backward Rolls X 10
Dive Rolls X 10
Quick Rolls (3 successive rolls as fast as possible) X 4
Forward Roll To Bear Crawl x3
Backward Roll To Crab Crawl x3
High Knees (running drill, 40m)
Butt Kicks (running drill, 40m)
Seat Rolls To Carioca
One Legged Hops (get up high and far, 20m)
Two Legged Hops (get up high and far, 20m)
Back pedal (backwards run, reaching back)
Notes: As Random as things may seem around these parts of the blog-o-sphere. There is something going on at CultFit HQ especially when it starts getting colder outside. Hmm, ENJOY!!!

CrossFit "WOD" Programming
CultFit HQ Programming
The Plan-
This is a must read today peeps! As you know we don’t like decreeing to you from up on high…If you feel like it take a few moments this morning to read this piece and enjoy.
Patience or Motivation?
The Workout-
This one was recently sent in by Old Uncle Cornelius and fits in nicely with what we have been doing recently:
Rest Day to adjust our/your lifestyle…Technique work for the X-Fit albóndigas:
This is what Uncle Cornelius did:
Went for a walk first thing in the morning.
Parked the car considerably farther away from CultFit HQ.
Turned off the radio while driving to help center himself in quite thought.
Turned off his iPhone thingy after 11am…For the rest off the day so to speak!
Drank B/W in ounces of aqua during the day.
Notes: If you have a free minute go ahead and fire up the old Google machine and search…Screw it, just click the link provided for you! CLICK HERE
Most importantly today, ENJOY!!!

You may want to take a minute to look that quote up and see where it takes you…
Do you happen to remember the question we asked you last week? If not, here it is again:
What does “Free Will” really mean to you and more specifically how you train and perform?
Well Uncle Pliny would like to share this little tidbit today before you do something really regretful this Thanksgiving week:
“The only certainty is that nothing is certain.”
Here is the simple plain truth this week and the sooner you come to embrace it the better off you will be: You cannot pay now with a hard/harmful program for future digressions! You can switch it around and it still works for dumb stuff you have done in the past…
What? Seriously? Please explain Uncle Pliny…Embrace each day and moment as an amazing time in your life…
The Plan-
We did receive an email asking why we totally dropped pull-ups for about a two month span…Simple answer: As it gets colder out expect more of them, the weather was way too nice outside the past few months and a more natural program was adopted. That, and as we started to narrow down a tight list of movements. It was discovered Farmers Walks and Pull Ups don’t play together very well if you do them a lot.
The Workout-
15k Trail Run/Run/Jog/Walk…Taper it off naturally. Followed by:
These are best done during the tapering off portion during the run…
100 Lunges (each leg)
100 Perfect Push Ups
100 Alternating Pivot Squats
25 Walk Out Finger Tip(s) Push Ups
Notes:
If you feel like this pic below after a workout or program? Looks like you have some work to do…ENJOY!!!

This is a fragmented time and age that we live in peeps. Have you ever noticed that time seems to fly by the older we get? Once again we will spare you from our rambling talking points and send you right to the source:
Why does time fly by as you get older?
What you’ll get from us when we write here daily is honesty. Nothing more and nothing less…Other Random Fitness bloggers like to regurgitate other stories and ideas and spin it to their views and what serves them best. If you don’t believe us try firing up the old Google blog searcher and querying:
You have been warned people, the time in which we live is not perceived objectively.
The Workout-
Plan on going for a walk sometime today. Rest up for tomorrow and the rest of the week, ENJOY!!!
