What to look forward to in 2013
We are going step back and strip CultFit of all its distractions, gimmicks, promotions and more. The main objective is to leave you, our Dear Reader with a pure and simple reading experience. Reading and digesting the words presented to you without any distractions.
What we feel is necessary for a simple, enjoyable reading experience:
- Pithy, socially relevant topics to help you come to peace with your body and mind
- No comments or “like” buttons to distract you from our message
- A pleasant and easily read format
- Minimal navigation, Minimal pics. Featured content for a “In and Out” experience
- A breath of fresh air amidst a sea of distractions
The “Workout” in 2013
Acquaint yourself with this lovely word:

Notes:
Slowly and surely we will be migrating content to our new site, so all hope is not lost! CultFit will still be here tomorrow, in all its dreadful glory. Thank you once again for making CultFit what it is! Be well this New Year and ENJOY!!!

We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real-
Sometimes life’s events trump rambling on about fitness and stuff.

Remember our video from YESTERDAY?!? This is today…
Hat Tip: 4 New York
The Workout-
We stumbled upon this program last night contemplating “Life’s Little Mysteries” at a local ballpark…
**Start chuckling now peeps because this program is goofy hard and requires thought**
30 Minutes of the following:
10 KB/DB Hang Cleans
20 Kettlebell Swings (Snappy, Dynamic and quick = Pop in your hips!)
10 Perfect Push ups*
*The rule for counting our Push Ups today is this: YOU have to count them in a language you are not familiar with! Pick a language that you are interested in…Pull up your Google Machine…Learn them while you Warm Up…We choose Gaelic!
a haon, a dó, a trí, a ceathair, a cúig, a sé, a seacht, a hocht, a naoi, a deich
If you screw up (you will) while counting? 10 Perfect Push Up penalty is in place…Hmmm sh*t just got real today?!?
Notes:
Full disclosure: we did over 300 Push Ups today! How many will you end up doing? Have a great day today and be sure to have a blast over the weekend, ENJOY!!!

Tag your it…Whatever HappyHippieRose! These fingers were crossed behind our back the whole time, plus you can’t tag someone while they are standing on home base (just saying).
To keep this game of tag rolling along spiced with a hint of mystery let’s revisit the original question from HappyHippieRose:
“My question to Cult Fit: How many authors do y’all have? It always feels like there’s a whole mess of you penning blogs and you’re always referring to Uncle so-and-so, and this guy and that gal… but really, how many different writers are there?“
Answer:
To answer this question honestly would be giving away a huge secret to all of the lurkers on the inter-webz. Those who have taken the time to write a pithy email have a completely different view of CultFit…Having said that we have posted pics of ourselves in the past. Here are just a few to refresh your memory:

I…We hope this answered your question today?!?
Bye, bye, baby it’s been a sweet love
Though this feeling I can’t change
But please don’t take it so badly
‘Cause Lord knows I’m to blame
But, if I stayed here with you girl
Things just couldn’t be the same
‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now
And this bird you can not change
And the bird you can not change
And this bird you can not change
Lord knows, I can’t change
Lord help me, I can’t change…
Now it’s your turn…
We always enjoy reading the terrific work of Amanda over yonder at Fancy Oatmeal. Why? She’s real, honest and nice. Unlike Uncle Mo who recently attended his annual Local Chapter 407 of Visigoth’s meeting this past weekend (Put that into your Google Machine peeps!)
Amanda, Our question to you is: If Christian Grey had a favorite nursery rhyme? What would it be and please provide some historical data to back up your findings?!?
Another authentic blogger we passionately enjoy is Joy playing around on her blog at Joy Fitness and Style!
Joy, Our question(s) for you are: If you were stranded on an island. What three workout songs would you have on your iPod and what would be your three favorite workout movements be to pass the time?
Urban Beings Simple, adventurous and hard-working. The way all blogs (peeps) should be really.
Our question for you is: How Much Wood Would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Thank you to everyone for playing along and tagging other blog-o-types today!!!

We’ll lets just say this posy already has gone to the dogs…
Worth- A simple word really. Five kind and harmless letters when put together they seemingly become your worst enemy. We use the word “WORTH” all of the time to sabotage our daily lives. It has become our go to word to measure ourselves against others each and every time we spot someone wearing those damn new yoga pants from Lululemon. Oh, apologizes for the little rant there…So how about a quiz? Sound cool…
How worthy are you?
Score the following with: 1 = rarely; 2 = sometimes; 3 = frequently
- You raise and DON’T lower the self-esteem of others
- You sustain an effort outside of your comfort zone to help others as much or even before yourself
- You give the same effort to a fair decision that you disagree with as you do to something you agree with
- You ask for help or assistance
- You quickly and sincerely thank someone who has helped you.
- You quickly offer help without the other person having to ask for it
- You fully forgive and forget after you’ve been hurt and quickly move on
- You quickly recognize and earnestly apologize for your failures of commission or omission to people you have let down
- You enthusiastically and sincerely congratulate someone else on an achievement or good fortune
- You give much more to the world than you take from it

The Plan-
The Workout-
We searched all night in our “What is an extra 50m WORTH to you” archives to find this program for today.
Warm Up thoroughly with the following…Walk/Run/Pulse Run/Walk…Followed by:
50m Sprint (Out and Back)
15 Goblet Squats
50m Sprint (Out and Back)
15 Perfect Push Ups
50m Sprint (Out and Back)
15 Goblet Squats
50m Sprint (Out and Back)
15 Perfect Push Ups
50m Sprint (Out and Back)
15 Goblet Squats
50m Sprint (Out and Back)
15 Perfect Push Ups
Now at this point in the program we are almost positive you have asked yourself: “What in the hell is this WORTH to me…?” This question is for you to contemplate and answer.
Ideally: 100+ Goblet Squats and 100+ Perfect Push Ups would be something to reach for…Just saying peeps!?!

If you feel our post today was Worth anything to you by all means feel free to let us know. Have fun today and…ENJOY!!!
