All I did was walk!


This is La Cienega Park at Wilshire, they just installed an amazing workout platform that has machines for almost every body part.  What I like best about is in order to move the machines you use your own body weight, so you are always activating your core.  There are no electronics, no buttons, no settings, just your strength, focus, and goal.

Yesterday I met a friend here, walked from my house to the park, which is about half a mile, and then 3 times around the track, and I was really feeling it today on the way to the park to meet another couple of friends.  It occurred to me how powerful just simple walking is, no we didn't power walk, yesterday I was with a mom who had a 2 month old baby, who was fussy, so we had to stop, change diapers, hold her, and even with that being out in the fresh air, we got our workout in.  As a mom that is really all you can commit to, that you will make it, not at the exact time, maybe with not so much energy, and may not be able to do too much, but just being there is a big accomplishment!

I am so inspired, because I just need to walk too, I got this stroller especially for easier walking, before I was addicted to the snap and go, which just makes life so much easier when you are on the go, but my boy is getting big for his car seat, and I wanted him to be comfortable and enjoy it.  Today one of my friends also has a one year old and brought her five year old too, and the other friend is 7 months pregnant.  It was so much fun to talk mommy stuff, we made it once around the track, but we made it, and it felt so good to be "working out" no matter how we were doing it, we were doing it!!!!

On my walk home I ran into another champion in our community Michal Levin, she does stroller workouts that really give you an amazing full body workout, but also consider the moms at every stage of babyhood.  Please contact me for more info and I will connect you to her.  She also does Physical Education classes for young girls in schools in our community, so important to get these messages of health and wellness young. Go Girl!

So anybody out there in Los Angeles area that wants to join me for my Hot Mama at La Cienega Park, please email coachyulia@gmail.com or call/text 323.377.0707.

Wednesdays 2pm
Thursdays   10am

I am also open to any time that works for anyone, I love to be out in our beautiful weather, with my wonderful happy baby, getting my workout on.  I know Pesach is around the corner, but we can make a plan for after.  It is amazing when you start dreaming, wishing, planning, it all eventually does come together, even in mommy land.

Enjoy this gorgeous day,
Coach Yulia
