Lovely Legs {Lunge} Workout

August 8, 2012 by Hillary 8 Comments

HEY! Happy Workout Wednesday!

I am really excited about the workout I’m going to share with ya’ll today. You want to know why!? …because I did it on Monday and my legs {and bootay} are still feeling it. It may also be due to the fact that I deadlifted 135lbs. yesterday — yahoo, I met my goal! — in addition to single-leg squats @ 85lbs. and a speedy 2 mile treadmill workout. #insaneismyname

Sweat

Back to the workout. Do you like lunges? Well, you may not after this workout. 200 lunges total.

Don’t leave yet. Trust me, you’ll survive.

LovelyLegs

Note: I recommend using anything from 5-15lb. bells. I used 2 15lb. dumbbells. Yes, 200 lunges at 30lbs. I told you I was a bit nutty. 

It’s not too late for sexy, lean legs this summer.

    It might be nuts, but it sure beats not breaking a sweat, and plus, you’re a nutrition nut so it’s all good ;)

    Wowwwww! Lunges are so good for everything, and 200 of them sounds crazy scary, but kinda exciting! We must be nuts for sure ;) And thank you so much for responding to my email! That was actually super helpful…Have a beautiful day!

    Ooooh! I’m likin’ the look of this work-out. I’m always up for some leg-burnin’! Except, my sister always gets mad when I do walking lunges…around the house…on our hardwood floor. I kinda plunk down loudly. Haha ;)

    This was a great workout – I got so into it that when I looked back at the clock, an hour and a half had gone by. And I still feel a lovely soreness. (=

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
