(Fantasy) fitness resolutions

Of course, I’ve made some real fitness goals for the year. (Handstand! Pull-up! No-knee push-up!)

But after flipping through one of the many athletically-minded catalogs (read: very expensive yoga pants & sports bras) that get delivered to my mailbox, I got inspired to let my mind wander. The gorgeous images the catalog featured helped me in this process.

So here you go…a few things that will not possibly happen but that are fun to daydream about happening. Inspirational? Yes. Realistic? Definitely not.

I will train for and complete another triathlon. In Belize.

I will work on my L-sit by hanging out on slacklines. In my bikini top.


I will start doing more yoga. On a paddleboard. In the middle of the water.


I will take more pictures of my friends. And their abs.


And then I will make my friends spot me while I practice my handstands. On their knees.


I will improve my vertical jumping distance. In bikini bottoms.

I will pose like this more. While looking contemplatively at the sand.

How about you guys? Any pretend adventures or fitness plans for you? Or am I the only one who likes to make believe around here?

(Many thanks to Athleta for the use of the pics. If anyone from there reads this and wants to make one of my fantasy fitness resolutions come true, preferably on a beach, I’m more than happy to talk.)

    so I just got caught up on your reading list, and have already secured some of the title with the library. I’m with ya on the reading, but the bikini’s? They are all you, girl. Four kids later, nobody wants to see what I got going on in the middle!

    Are you kidding? That’s why I called them fantasy goals.

    (You’re excused. You did just have a baby. And recover from being sick.)

    Girl, you crack me up! I think my fave is the very calm L sit on the slack line.

    I live to make you laugh.

    And? I miss you. :(

    What? You’re saying we could have catalogs not done by art directors? Just showing product? Next thing you’ll be saying Playboy shoots are totally unrealistic…
