400 Reps for Time Workout

January 22, 2014 by Hillary 8 Comments

Don’t miss out on the #kindawesome KIND Nuts & Spices GIVEAWAY {ends tomorrow}!

Who’s workin’ it out this Workout Wednesday? Last week, I took a short home workout hiatus, as I had a free week pass to a gym in town. It was refreshing to switch things up — catch up with the treadmill (how I missed thee!) and play with equipment that I do not have in my possession.

Since I haven’t made a firm decision about joining a gym quite yet, it’s back to the living room sweat seshs and (sunny) outdoor runs.

Today’s new workout is inspired by the Dirty 30 Workout. I wanted a challenge with both cardio and strength… this did that for sure! My heart was beating hard.

Side Note: When chatting with The Boy about this workout, he asked what I titled it (knowing that it would go up on the blog). His idea, “The Frisky Forty”, was 10x more creative — playing off of the eminent Dirty 30 and Filthy 50 workouts.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 set of dumbbells — I used 10lb.
  • 1 kettlebell — I used 25lb.

Exercises

  • thrusters
  • turkish get-ups
  • frog jumps
  • superman plank jacks

If you have questions regarding any of the exercises, please ask.

Notes

  • Often times, dumbbells and kettlebells can be interchangeable, i.e. you could use a light kettlebell for the turkish get-ups and a heavy dumbbell for the sumo squats.
  • I did not perform the exercises in the order listed above. I recommend alternating weighted exercises with bodyweight exercises. You choose the order, just get it done! 
  • Remember: You can always take my home workouts to a gym if you don’t have the required equipment.
  • weighted lunges: hold one dumbbell in each hand; alternate legs
  • deadlifts & turkish get-ups: alternate sides every 10 reps
  • push-ups may be performed on knees

“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.
