Do you squat or perch….. On the Loo 🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽 Researchers timed people. One small but famous study found: 💩Squatting: average ~50 seconds 💩Sitting: average ~130 seconds That’s nearly three times longer when perched on our thrones like a thoughtful gargoyle. Our colon prefers a quick exit strategy. I can confirm this!! Lingering on our Loo encourages straining and scrolling on phones, two habits evolution definitely did not anticipate for our miraculous bodies! You don’t need to actually squat on a toilet rim (dentists and emergency rooms politely request we don’t 😂) Try a @squattypotty to help raise your feet to set your colon free this Friday : Bend the hips. Lift the knees. Let gravity do the heavy lifting. Happy cleansing your colon Friday 💩 #digestive #happy #friday #france #colon

The moments that redefine you 💥❤️‍🔥💪🏼 That threshold point between pain and peace, past and present, proving and simply being. After 67 days trekking from Canterbury to Rome nature has taught me. 💚 ✨ Nature is the one place where truth still lives. Not curated. Not performative. Not bought or sold. Just truth. And in that raw truth… I remembered who I really am. 🌀 Out there under wild skies, in unknown lands I felt calm and limitless. Not because I was escaping life… But because I was walking back into the fullness of it. The modern world teaches us to rush, to compare, to chase worth. But nature? 🌿 It invites. 🌿 It reflects. 🌿 It holds you exactly as you are. We can’t manufacture truth. We can’t download peace. But we can return to it. And when we do… We stop performing. We start remembering. We come home to ourselves. Let nature in. Let it refuel you, reshape you, remind you. Let it rewild the freedom you were born with. You don’t need to find yourself. You only need to return. Day 67, trekking on average 23 miles a day without a rest day embracing every step with an open heart. Grateful and happy to be alive. Miles trekked -1512 Days - 67 Elevation - 82,000ft Rest day - 0 👉I’ sharing guidance, stories, and inspiration to help you walk your own path for freedom. 🌍 Explore more at: 📸 Follow along: @linzidbell 📍Track me Live as I trek the 214 Wainwrights wild camping over 20 days • • • Live it, be it, feel it The M I S S I O N : To help as many people smile a bigger smile from wellbeing benefits of the great outdoors @linziwalks challenge 2025 Join me as I solo hike 10 trails with nature as ONE epic challenge, summiting 315 mountains over 200 days through 4 counties.

These 5 hours sitting and journeying into the mountains of Japan would open anyone’s heart to trusting what comes next 🎌 What I’m about to trek is called the Camino Kumano Kodo trail. in Japan I will be thru-hiking the five ancient spiritual trails as one, moving through an endless sea of mountains and forests, hidden valleys, waterfalls, and traditional rural villages. It’s one of only two UNESCO World Heritage–listed pilgrim trails. The other is the Camino Santiago, which I trekked back in 2022. By trekking the Kumano Kodo, I will become one of the few people to hold what they call a Dual Camino passport. It won’t mean much to others, but to me, a woman who over the past 5 years has trekked a Camino each year, it roots my feet to the earth and makes me feel like I am growing with its energy rather than against it. Rebel against you the elastic band of the known to discover the all the beauty of the unknown 💚 Live it . be it . Feel it #camino #solo #adventure #nature #outdoors

This place gives you a sense of direction even when you’re not looking for it! Navigating my 9 hour time adjustment with a little Train ticket mission and I seem to of found me a sense of direction in Osaka! You don’t always need to know where you’re going. You just need to know where you are.📍 Map it. Track it @outdooractive_uk Live it. Be it. Feel it #explor #adventure #japan #outdoors

This feels like a Miletary operation! 🚽 One more night here in Osaka to help me adjust to the 8 hour time difference and the toilet button functions have my curiosity fully engaged with my bum finding the seat warming option familiar to the sensation to someone sitting on it just before me! @jacqueline_jax_ knows exactly what I mean 😂 Our toilet habits fascinate me!! 🧠 Japan’s level of functionality may have me sitting on the loo for a while just to try them all out! They toilet-tech on steroids! @totoltd_official have turned toilets into an unexpected cultural icon!! Happy loo learning from me in Japan 🙏🎌🚽 Live it. Be it. Feel it #japan #toilet #new adventure

Hour 18 ⏱️ Fast forward… and things are getting a little wild 😂 Sleep deprived, miles deep, and everyone’s a bit delirious, that slightly “drunk” feeling kicks in where everything is funny and nothing quite makes sense. But this is where the team really comes together. Laughing through it, sharing the moments, and keeping spirits high for the final push 💪 Real talk… Stuart’s dealing with some serious chafing, and Kelly’s now fully committed to not sitting down 😅 Not pretty, but it’s real and we keep moving 💥 To donate to mind - click the link in our bio💙 • • • #hiking #thruhike #worldrecordattempt #nature #team
