WHOEVER CALLED INDOORS the Great Indoors? Nobody.

We're in the thick of summer right now, and that means much of the countryside is wide open for exploring

Let’s keep it real: my “gym” is the living room floor between LEGO landmines and a suspicious stain that may or may not be applesauce from 2022. But as a stay-at-home mom building a business and trying not to lose my core (or my mind), I’ve learned that real fitness isn’t about perfect form—it’s about showing up in 10-minute windows between snack demands and emotional support requests from a goldfish. So I stopped buying $20 resistance bands that snap during toddler tantrums and invested in quality gear—stuff that lasts, motivates, and doesn’t judge me for working out in yesterday’s PJs. This isn’t a list for Instagram models. It’s for moms who want to feel strong, energized, and like more than just “the snack lady.” And yes—some of it even doubles as nap-time white noise. 💪✨

If you haven't heard of DeCathlon, let me put you on! They have so many great outdoors and active goods that are super affordable (compared to many US-sports stores). The US online store doesn't have things like yoga mats and massage balls – which I own from them as well. But for jackets and backpacks they have a lot and they're been so useful on my travels over the years. 100% recommend getting some gear from them if you haven't tried yet. There are also stores in many countries like Taiwan, Colombia, and more so if you are traveling you should visit them in person!
I love me a wellness girl walk & a full advocate that we can always elevate our walking experience! Elevate your walks with me by these products & recs
