About Limitless With Lily
My Story
There was a time when I let fear and my own perceived limitations keep me from fully experiencing life. Health struggles made me question what my body was capable of, and for a while, staying comfortable felt safer than pushing beyond those limits.
That began to change when I started taking better care of myself. Improving the way I ate gave me more energy. Strength training showed me what my body could do. And eventually, hiking introduced me to the kind of strength that only comes from putting your body and mind through new challenges.
The outdoors quickly became one of the most important parts of my life.
I grew up exploring New England with my family, from the beaches of Cape Cod to the ski mountains of Vermont and hiking trails of New Hampshire. But it wasn't until I moved away that I realized how deeply connected I was to those places.
I moved to New York City to pursue writing before eventually earning my B.A. in Publishing and Journalism in Boston and returning home to New Hampshire. Along the way, I began writing about outdoor adventure and wellness for different organizations.
Then, I pursued hiking all of New Hampshire's 4,000-footers, and everything came together.
Movement, nutrition, the outdoors, and storytelling had all helped me build a life that felt bigger than the limitations I once placed on myself.
That's what Limitless with Lily is about today.
Through fitness and general food guidance, outdoor experiences, hiking resources, and storytelling, I want to help other people feel stronger, experience more, and discover what they're capable of.
You don't have to become a completely different person or build your entire life around fitness. Sometimes, you just need the confidence to take the first step.
The Benefits of Exercise
Weight lifting is one of my favorite ways to move my body, combat stress, and feel empowered. I also enjoy going for runs, doing yoga, and of course, hiking. I believe that when you push your body beyond its limits and to that next level, you’re more likely to succeed.
Exercising consistently has various health benefits, such as improved cardiovascular health and stronger muscles. It also reduces feelings of anxiety and depression, improves your mood, energy levels, mindset, and confidence, and decreases your risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. It also gives you an opportunity to connect with a community of like-minded, inspiring individuals, which is my favorite part about it!
Have you ever felt stressed, and as soon as you went for a walk or hike, you noticed all of those negative feelings go away? This happens because when you are in nature, your serotonin levels go up, which makes you feel happy. Trust me, it’s difficult to be in a bad mood when you’re breathing in fresh air, stimulating all of your five senses, and living in the present moment. It’s what peace feels like.
When you combine nature with exercise, it can increase your self-worth, enhance your creativity, and make you feel calmer. As soon as you experience the feeling of moving your body outdoors, you’ll only want more of it.
