I'm a firm believer in being able to get fit without leaving your home. Many people don't have the time to go to the gym, and with my list of equipment, you won't need to. I personally use the majority of these tools currently, and a few I'd love to own one day. I know all of these pieces of equipment work based off scientific evidence, hours of personal research, and experience with them myself. Let's reclaim our health and bodies, and get stronger together!
We love spending time outdoors in our free time. We have a camp at a local lake and spend most weekends there. These are our favorite items we use weekly.

All the products that I find beneficial for at home workouts! I lost 25lbs alone from working out at home and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Size is overrated in many avenues of life, and mountain climbing is no exception. Here in New England, we don't have peaks with the epic scale and elevation of the Rockies. So we've learned to appreciate the scenic qualities of more modest peaks, and we've also learned (the hard way) that sometimes, these “little” mountains can still kick your ass. Here are my favorite sub-4,000 foot mountains in New England.
If you're into yoga or just starting your practice, let me tell you—having the right accessories makes all the difference! 🧘♀️ Over the years, I’ve tested so many products, and I’ve finally narrowed down my absolute favorites that truly elevate my yoga sessions. From mats that actually stay in place (because no one wants to slip mid-downward dog) to props that help deepen your stretches and boost flexibility, these items have been game-changers for me. I genuinely love and use these products every week, and I know you'll feel the same once you try them. Whether you’re perfecting your poses or just enjoying some peaceful moments, these essentials will have you feeling like a yoga pro in no time! Check them out—you won’t regret it! 🪷💜

I used to be something of a curmudgeon on the question of whether or not it's cool to listen to music while hiking. Then I took a walk in a town forest during Year 1 of the Covid-19 pandemic, inserted my earbuds, and queued up the soundtrack for Terrence Malick's The New World (a re-telling of the story of Pocahontas.) I haven't looked back since then. On a gentler hike where you don't have to worry about natural hazards, pairing the journey with music from the cinematic universe can make for a uniquely transporting experience. To get you started, I've highlighted 15 of my favorite movies soundtracks for hikes. Just make sure to use earbuds or headphones, as that it's a private serenade.

Once upon a time, a brand-new runner set out on their very first run. Their shoes were too stiff, their shirt was itchy, and their shorts… well, let’s just say they learned the hard way about chafing. Then one magical day, they discovered this list — gear tested over hundreds of miles, in sunshine, in rain, and in those dark early mornings when bed felt far too comfortable. Each piece had been worn, loved, and proven worthy by yours truly (you can spot them all over my Instagram). And so, the runs became smoother. The miles felt lighter. Smiles showed up more often than grimaces. The runner realized that with the right gear, every step could feel a little bit like happily ever after.
I just started running it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while but never got into it. This is my time to finally stick to it and be better at running.
It's a joy to camp, hike, or hunt in the Rocky Mountains. It's something I've enjoyed for 40 years. I hope these safety and product recommendations help to make your stay in this most beautiful area of the United States an incredible one.
