Come away with me! Week 1

Let’s get away!

I soooo miss travel, don’t you? Let’s take a quick trip together each week this year.

This week, we’re heading to Hawaii.

We are hiking the Hanakapi’ai Falls Trail!  This 7-mile trail could not be any more gorgeous!

Unfortunately, our airline tickets for the whole year have been lost in the mail, so we are going to hike each week in spirit. (Better than flying Spirit!)

To hike this trail with us, just walk (or jog, or run) a total of at least 7 miles this week. I encourage you to seek out walking for its own sake for these hikes rather than counting incidental steps you get during the course of your day, but you set your own rules and do what you think is best. You do not have to hike the whole trail at once, although you could – set the goals that are right for you, especially for these shorter hikes!

Need more inspiration to get moving on your hike? Check out more photos of this trail here, get yourself a free trial of Audible to have some audiobooks to keep you company, or even walk inside with one of these walking videos* or with this actual footage from this hike.

Where do you want to go next?! Many of the hikes I’ve planned will be short like this one, but there are definitely some challenges along the way. We are going to the mountains, beaches, and lakes of the world, and I am SO ready for this change of scenery. I hope you’ll join me on your journey!

Oh, and when you’re done with your journey for the week, post a pic of your accomplishment and tag me! (Tiny Fitness on Facebook, @tinyfitnesshtx on Instagram.) There will be prizes along the way! Bad photoshop is welcome! We are going to have quite the scrapbook by the end of the year.

Make sure you’re following the blog via email or social media so you don’t miss a weekly hike! Next week we are headed to somewhere green with plenty of sheep….

*and if you think walking videos are lame, so is being totally out of cardio shape! Walking videos are a great way to combat the it’s too hot/cold/dark/late/early excuse. I myself have used them when the weather was inconvenient and I needed to move, like during Harvey, or when I need a buddy to get me moving first thing in the morning but I’m too asleep to do anything more complicated than shuffle.
