Alternative Workouts in L.A.

I am inspired by the Alternative Workouts in L.A. http://www.discoverlosangeles.com/blog

I have signed up to be updated about Daybreaker, a crack-of-dawn, sweaty, feel-good dance party open to one and all. The gatherings take place twice a month at various venues in L.A.

I have bought a Groupon for Rockreation Fight Gravity One class. I've climbed a rock wall before, but never taken a class.

I also tried Hula hooping led by Kellee McQuinn at a fitness event in Century City. http://www.kidtribe.com

I am taking classes at  Pop Physique, I had my first combo pilates, barre & free weights class last Saturday and it made me sore a day later. http://www.popphysique.com/

I also go to free yoga classes at work and near my home 2-3 days a week. I believe that to keep myself motivated, I need to mix it up and have fun.

Special Olympics - Tennis at UCLA

On Saturday morning, Let's Move West L.A. was part of Fans in the Stands at Special Olympics http://www.la2015.org
We cheered on the Brasil and Germany teams as they played. More of our members showed up later.
It was a hot, sunny day. We brought drinks and snacks. I wore my SPF sun hat and lots of sunscreen.
We all wore Let's Move West L.A T-shirts.

CicLAvia Culver City Meets Venice

I'm excited about the CicLAvia event on August 9

"Culver City and Venice will be the coolest spots of the summer when CicLAvia returns to the Westside for the first time since 2013."

If we want to reduce gas consumption and traffic, be active and partcipate in this event to promote alternative transportation, then we need to act.

I just spent over an hour in traffic on the 10 Freeway going West after 6 pm and I don't want to do that again. I'm sure many people like me are sick and tired of the traffic (wasting time stuck in a giant parking lot). I dream of being able to bike or walk to work one day.

Until then, see you at CicLAvia!
