My Fitness Bucket List

June 15, 2012 | Disney, fitness, health, motivation, running, Uncategorized

 

You hear a lot of people talking about bucket lists. They may include things like skydiving, visit a certain country, learn a foreign language, or take a painting class. My bucket list seems to revolve around a lot of fitness related activities, so why not have one JUST for health and fitness? So I thought I would share with you a few of the items on my fitness bucket list. You can check out my full list on my #Fitfluential Fitness bucket list Pinterest board. In no particular order….

 

1.) Run the Tower of Terror ten miler or the tinkerbell half marathon in Disneyland. These are the only two runDisney races I have not run (aside from the expedition Everest challenge) and I have heard great things about tink…and the ToT 10 miler just looks SO fun!

 

2.) Run the Hood to Coast Relay. Ever since last year when I reviewed the movie, I have wanted to do this race. Them, after competing in the Rouge Orleans Ultra relay, I REALLY wanted to run!

 

3.) Paddle board or surf in a beautiful location. I kind of fear learning to do something like this, but would love to get over it and do it! Being in a beautiful location would make it a bit more enticing.

 

4.) Train with Bob Harper. I have loved the Biggest Loser since day one, and really like his approach to health and fitness! Meeting him or training with him would be awesome.

 

5.) Go to a yoga/spa retreat center. A nice long weekend of relaxation and fitness in a beautiful setting like you see on the movies sounds absolutely wonderful and rejuvenating!

I am adding to my bucket list all the time so be sure to check my Pinterest board often!

    I love your bucket list! I would also love to run a Disney race and go to a weekend yoga retreat. Both would make for super fun and healthy vacations :). And I totally agree with you on Bob’s training, I always admired how he trained on TBL :).

    I’ve got one for this Fall..it’s an adventure race called “Be A Hero” and it’s like this firefighter race! You break glass and climb a fire pole. sounds cool.

    I always thought I’d do a Disney race when my kids got into Disney. Alas they’re not Disney’s biggest fans. I really wanna do Tinkerbell though still!
    Finishing up the 5 marathon majors is topping my list.

    I’m fulfilling a bucket list item on Saturday… interviewing Jackie Warner!! I’m big on just doing things as soon as I think of them, so bucket list items don’t last long for me. Great list!! Take me on a retreat with you…

    The Disney Tower of Terror sounds cool! I’d like to run at least 2 halfs a year for as long as I can. I’d also add in a run abroad!

    I am loving all these bucket lists!! Paddle boarding or surfing is a great one- I’ve never done either, let alone in a beautiful location. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂

    A yoga retreat sounds wonderful! On my fitness bucket list is to do a half ironman and do the NYC half and a half in either Paris or London.

    I definitely want to do the Tower of Terror 10 miler! Qualifying for and running Boston tops my list but I doubt that will happen until I’m like 70 😉

    I want to do a yoga retreat in Italy, or anywhere for that matter along with finally finishing my yoga certification and few different half marathons too

    I’m loving all the fitness bucket lists.

    I have a variety on mine. I would like to own two outdoor bikes so hubby and I can go riding (we have 2 spin bikes at home but I want to get out), I want to do more than 20 vertical knee raises in a row, and a nice big trampoline in the back yard would be very cool.

    Love this idea! On mine is learning to surf…preferably in Hawaii and running a marathon…maybe Mickey for the 20th anniversary.

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨

👉🏻For a link to the birthday ears she wore (they have lots of colors and variations!) comment “EARS” and I will send it to you!

This is 11. ✨🎉 Not sure how this happened, b This is 11. ✨🎉

Not sure how this happened, but time snuck up on me and now I have an 11 year old. 🥹
We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. 💖

I’ve been adding Incrediwear’s circulation socks and sport socks into my training routine, and they’ve helped me recover faster, reduce soreness, and keep my legs fresh for long runs. 
Unlike compression, Incrediwear products actually increase blood flow, which means more oxygen + nutrients where your body needs it most.

And it’s not just athletes who benefit. My dad’s had two knee replacements, and the Incrediwear knee sleeves help him manage swelling, restore mobility, and feel comfortable moving again.

From world-class athletes like LeBron James and Steph Curry to everyday runners (and even my dad!), Incrediwear makes recovery accessible to everyone. 🏃‍♀️💪
