No Equipment Travel Workout

May 29, 2018 by Hillary 2 Comments

Hi! I hope you had a fun and relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. Our weekend was rather low-key as we anticipated #StormAlberto, which hasn’t been more than heavy rain for us. I’ll tell ya, Florida weather is something else. I have yet to see why it’s deemed The Sunshine State when there is constant rain and thunderstorms in the forecast. Take me back to that dry California summer heat, please.

Weather aside, I have a new workout for you today! Somewhere between chatting about the importance of rest days and sharing a glute workout, I mentioned posting my weekly workouts here on the blog again — for personal accountability, and to offer workout inspiration and ideas to you. The past couple of weeks have consisted mostly of quick at-home workouts. Between traveling and the increase in humidity, gym workouts and long runs have been more difficult to come by.

I came up with this quick workout while I was in California. We had some time in the afternoon before the wedding, so I did this basic bodyweight workout in my friend’s yard. It probably took all of 20 minutes, but it got the blood pumping. Sometimes, a short workout is better than none!

5 No Equipment Travel Workouts

March 12, 2014 by Hillary 9 Comments

Happy Workout Wednesday! I shared a new, quick (and heavy) workout with you all on Sunday, so today we’re talking travel/vacation workouts… a.k.a. no-equipment workouts that you can do anywhere.

We’ve rented a house to stay at in Kauai – rather than a condo or resort – so I won’t have access to a gym. I’m sure I will miss lifting heavy things for a week, but I plan to have a fairly active vacation — hike, swim, repeat.

I’m looking forward to some sandy runs on the beach, but I will most likely want to squeeze in some strength training before hitting the waves. These five workouts are short and do not require any equipment or very much space.

“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 of time 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 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 parasympathetic 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.
