Jasmine Hutchinson – the bouldering beauty from Riverfront Rock Gym:
2018 Goals:
Weight goals: Nothing specific but wants to fit into a super small bikini this summer
Nutrition goals: Drink more water
Other goals: Improve overall hard sport climbing with a focus on: hard bouldering, campus board work, hang board work
Improve flexiblity (yoga once a week or more)
Gain strength

1) Stats: The only mentionable stat is that I turned 30 in April! I have also started a new trainer called sweet cakes. It’s all about building up the booty. It’s really hard! Tons of lunges and tons of squats. I think one day in the first week I did 700 lunges, and that wasn’t even the whole work out. It’s meant to be supplemental but I think it’s about all I can handle right now. I have a different and wonderful place to work out because we moved back to our Camas house its lovely to be in the woods again.

2) Did you make your April goals? Well I have gone on zero jogs, I still think my water intake is deplorable but I have gotten out and hiked few times. We finished building our house and have been unpacking and moving in, which is great, But between that and having a toddler I’m not sure I aced my goals! That being said I went on a climbing trip and felt really good, I have been up the canyon and made some really strong progress on some of my projects. And I feel really good so that’s a win!

3) What are your May goals? My may goals would be to do as many sweet cakes workouts as I can, maintain my sanity, and get outside with my friends as often as possible.

4) What outdoor sport/activity are you most looking forward to this season? Well climbing of course, but I’m also looking forward to getting on the river and getting up in the Alpine. I love the different things you can do in the upper valley. I would also like to go mountain biking at least once this month. I start to feel like I have activity ADD, I want to do all the things. I’m also elbows deep in getting my garden set up!
