24-minute {HIIT to FIT} run.

February 22, 2012 by Hillary 8 Comments

I’ve got one heck of a workout for you all today.

Recently I’ve been inspired to post my workouts on the blog after hearing that you are giving them a try yourself. I use DailyMile to log all of my physical activity, but I’m excited to highlight favorite workouts/runs via Pinterest-friendly images more often.

Last week, I came up with this quick + speedy run. I “enjoyed” the different lengths of intervals; it kept my mind focused on changing the speed button, instead of the speed of the treadmill belt under my feet.

If you’re intimidated at all by the speed, feel free to adjust the workout to your comfort level. For example, you could do all of the intervals 1.0mph slower (i.e. 90 sec. @ 7.5 // 30 sec. @ 6.5).

Happy Workout Wednesday!

workout wednesday: 24 minutes to fit!

December 21, 2011 by Hillary 10 Comments

Hey there, friends!

I have to get going with my day stat, but I just have to share this energy-inducing fitness find with y’all.

Even though I woke up early with exercise first thing on the agenda, I was struggling to get moving this morning. However, with the help of iced coffee and inspiration from the web, I was ready to rock.

I blasted Pandora’s Pop + Hip Hop Power Workout station, slipped on my Asics, and within 24-minutes, I was a sweaty mess in the comfort of my own living room – no equipment necessary!

The Anywhere Workout

via Women’s Health Magazine

Perform each move for 1 minute. Repeat 3x for a total of 24 minutes.

 

Tips:
  • I added a 10lb. weight to exercises during Set 3, where applicable (Moves 1, 5, 8).
  • Move 4 is a modified burpee. To make more difficult, add a push-up + jump.
  • Add a twist to Move 7 for an added oblique challenge.

Who says you need a ton of time and fancy equipment for a full-body, fat-burning workout!? Check out my 24-minute speedy interval run (3.3 mi.) for another Workout Wednesday quickie.

Gotta run!

“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.
