🌿 Katie’s Monday Inspiration | Hartsspace 💚

Mount Ellinor, Movement & Mindfulness! 🏔️

Happy Monday, Hartsspace Community!

Here we go again! We are just a couple of weeks away from our Mount Ellinor hike, and it's time to gear up and get those legs ready! 💪🥾

This is our week to go ALL OUT!

Next week, we'll start easing up on our quads and those uphill and downhill muscles so we can head into our hike feeling strong and rested. But THIS week, keep pushing!

Stairs, hills, squats, lunges, weights, uphill hikes, and especially downhill training. Keep building that strength and endurance!

🏋️ My Movement Plan This Week

• Monday: Boot camp DONE! Plus extra squats, lunges, and heavy leg machines afterward.

• Tuesday: Outdoor bike ride or run, depending on the weather.

• Wednesday: Boot camp!

• Thursday: Hotel gym workout using the machines and a combination workout from my YMCA 360 app.

• Friday: Hiking in Joshua Tree! 🌵

• Saturday: 10K!

• Sunday: Yoga, stretching, and recovery.

• Next Monday: Back to my YMCA workout routine!

  
  

🥗 Food Focus: Back to Basics

After a wonderful kayaking trip last week and a little more eating on the road, I'm ready to return to home-cooked meals and lighter, nourishing foods.

This week, I'm focusing on fresh salmon, high-quality protein, healthy fats, omega-3s, and plenty of greens. 🥬🐟

Nothing complicated. Just good, nourishing food that supports my body and all the movement I'm asking it to do!

🧘‍♀️ The Deeper Work

More than anything, I'm continuing to deepen my meditation practice and morning journaling.

This has been immensely helpful in bringing more peace, clarity, presence, and understanding into my days. I'm learning more and more about the power of slowing down, listening inward, and being fully present in whatever life brings.

I'd love to share more about that soon. There's so much value in strengthening our minds and spirits alongside our bodies. ❤️

🌿 Community Connection

We had such a wonderful Hartsspace event with Adrian! What a fun opportunity to connect, learn, and spend time together.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of you out walking, hiking, moving, or joining us at one of our community gatherings.

Whether you're hiking Mount Ellinor with us or not, we'd love to hear from you!

✨ What does movement look like for you this week?

✨ How are you nourishing your body?

✨ And what are you doing to nurture your mind and spirit?

Remember, it's not about perfection. It's about consistency, connection, and showing up for yourself.

Community, not Competition! 💚

Wishing you an extraordinary Monday and a beautiful week ahead!
