25 Minute {Birthday} AMRAP

June 18, 2014 by Hillary 21 Comments

Good morning and a very happy Workout Wednesday to you! I haven’t posted a new at-home workout in some time, and since tomorrow I am turning a quarter of a century (a.k.a. it’s my 25th birthday!), I thought it might be fun to create a birthday-inspired workout.

Now that I’ve completed the workout, I’m not sure fun is the best way to describe it. Don’t be fooled by the cutsie pastel graphic – this 25 minute AMRAP style workout is no joke; I was undeniably panting and grunting with those final skaters and thrusters.

If you aren’t familiar with AMRAP (CrossFit lingo), it stands for As Many Rounds/Reps As Possible. In other words, work your booty off to get as much done as you can in the allotted amount of time.

I set my timer for 25 minutes and tried to get through as many rounds of 25 reps of each exercise. I finished 3 full rounds + 25 swings — holy guacamole!

What You’ll Need

  • 1 chair or plyo box
  • 1 kettlebell – I used 25lb.
  • 1 set of dumbbells – I used 10lb. dumbbells 

Exercises

  • Kettlebell Swings
  • Dumbbell Step-ups
  • Push-ups – regular or on your knees
  • Jump Squats
  • Plank Jacks
  • Speed Skaters
  • Thrusters

Notes

  • Move as quickly as possible from one exercise to the next, limiting rest. The goal is do do as many rounds/reps as possible in 25 minutes!

This full-body 20 minute AMRAP is another killer!

Happy Sweating!

“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.

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

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.
