'I'm a Fitness Instructor, and Walking Is the Most Important Workout of My Week'

‘I’m a Fitness Instructor, and Walking Is the Most Important Workout of My Week’ Zoe Weiner © Photo: W+G Creative Walking for exercise The fitness instructor at the front of your studio—or on your screen—might look invincible. They perform dozens of burpees (in a row) or pedal their spin bikes at breakneck speeds, all while somehow keeping smiles on their faces and doling out motivational mantras. But as Charlee Atkins, founder of Le Sweat, says on The Well+Good Podcast, "On the other side of it...you're just like breaking down, hitting a wall." After eight years as a SoulCycle instructor, some days spending over four hours on the bike, Atkins says her body couldn't take it anymore. Her hips were "crunchy," she says. Because the fact of the matter is, this type of all-out exercise regimen just doesn't work—it isn't good for your body and it isn't good for your spirit.

Hiking has a diversity problem. These BIPOC groups are working to fix it

Print Longtime oppression and historical barriers have kept many people of color from feeling comfortable in the American outdoors. Now that may be changing. Groups in Southern California and around the nation have made it their goal to introduce people of color to nature in a positive way. Their mission is to remove barriers and help people experience the connection, whether they are seeking fitness, healing, personal accomplishment or knowledge about all the outdoors has to offer. For many, the first step is going on a hike. Here are groups working toward a more diverse outdoors. Latino Outdoors: Christian La Mont, program manager of Latino Outdoors, a national organization with a Los Angeles chapter, calls the process of removing barriers “the hike before the hike.” The idea is that people of color see themselves represented on the trail.

Why Times readers love L.A. hiking - Los Angeles Times

Print Why hike in L.A.? There are as many answers as there are Angelenos who lace up boots and hit trails. Southern California’s mountains and forests can serve as an outdoor gym, a sanctuary from the urban buzz, a spiritual space to heal and reflect, a place to pose and be seen (especially on Instagram), an entry to the natural world of tarantulas and newts, and a place to scale an unthinkably high peak. For the devout, it’s a lifestyle choice that in nonpandemic times brings us closer as a community. (Tomi Um / For the Times) Where to start? There are roughly 1 million acres to explore in the L.A. area. The nation’s largest national park in an urban setting, the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, offers 154,000 acres from Hollywood to Point Mugu. Continue east to Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area and Griffith Park, handy urban green spaces that are a freeway off-ramp away, then head east and north to the wilder Angeles National Forest where you can roam 700,000 acres and have your pick of 8,000-foot-plus peaks.
