Lady Claudine Cooper Claudide, It's always great to see you.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
How are you tonight?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You know.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
I always push back on the nice part because if
you've ever taken my class.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Baby, no no, no, no, no, no, it's not easy.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's not easy.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's easy.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And look, and I would like to think of myself
as somewhat active.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Somewhat oh you're very active, but still it's one of
those things your age, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Oh damn you. You had to just throw that out there,
you know, but you are. We are in the same club. Now,
we're in the same club.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I just made my way into the fifties club. Yes
you did, Yes, I did, proudly when you were coming.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
You're on your way here, and I sent you a
story talking about the cost of health and wellness, and
it was more about how much people would spend on
or at least their conception of.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Health and wellness. And let me just tell you this.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
This is my my sheet of stuff that I buy monthly.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Okay, let's see.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I have magnesium gummies and this stuff I take every day.
I have beatroot gummies, a granite tart cherry, turmeric, probiotics
from my stomach, and glucosamine for my joints. It adds
up over the course of a month, but I would
rather that than the Yes.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
But you haven't put in your membership at your do
you go to a dojo or well.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
I'm actually teaching classes at a dojon, So yeah, you
don't have to pay a membership. No, no, no, okay,
because that's what I started to think about. I started
to think about paying for memberships. What about massage and recovery?
You do any chiropractic care?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
If I had more time, Yeah, I just have one
of those theraguns.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Those are pricey though, No they are, but it's a
single purchase, yes, and I have two of them at home,
and they are world changers.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Let me tell you, I.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Never knew about how how well they worked until I
was really, really sore one day. My hamstrings were yelling
at me. And I use that thera gun for like
fifteen minutes and I could walk again. It's like Glory
Hall Lilia. It's a miracle.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
He can walk. Uh.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
The thera gun is one of the greatest inventions. I
personally prefer a foam roller and I use a studded roller,
so it has like these little things coming out of it.
It's very painful, but if you roll yourself out, has
a similar effect of a thera gun.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Before I had a thera gun, I use a bread
rolling pin and is it's it's great people think like
a rolling pin. Yes, put that on the on your
quads and your hamstrings.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It will loosen you right up.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
But the point is you may end up spending a
little bit more than a lot, yeah, to get all
these tools. And it may be monthly, it may be semiannually.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Where do you come out on that?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
You know?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I was so you sent the article on.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I was thinking about something because I had a conversation
with a woman who works out at the gym so
you guys know that I work at the gym in
Inglewood called Iconics. And so one of my neighbors who's
also a friend, she was saying, like, I still have
more than just this.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Gym as a membership.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
And she's like, but I'm thinking about maybe canceling one
of my gym memberships, like.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
A Planet Fitness or an La Fitness gym or something else.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
She has a Hefty a Hefty gym exactly like basically
a luxury gym. So she has two luxury gym memberships,
and she was saying, you know, it's getting a little pricey.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Maybe I'm going to let one go.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
But what I said, and this is my true belief,
and I'm glad you sent the article. If you invest
in your health today, you won't have to pay for surgeries,
medications and all these other things in the future. And
so when we were talking, I said to her, are
(04:52):
there benefits to belonging to the other gym versus benefits
to belonging to the gym that we were at, And
she said, absolutely, They're two different styles. See, no two
gyms are the same. I've worked in gyms my whole life,
since I was eighteen years old everything from the Why
to Bally's to Equinox everywhere in between. And I compare
(05:13):
it kind of to you know, your ex girlfriends, mo,
not that you've ever had another girlfriend besides your wife.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Oh my gosh, it just got personal up in here.
But and I understood exactly what she meant. So you
know each one, but serve the purpose of at that
point in your life.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
And they were different, and they were different, right, and
so they're all crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You like them crazy, that's what.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Wait, you know why right? No, tell me, Twala, come
help me os.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Okay, I'm going to say this very delicately. Yeah, the
crazier she is, I'm listening. The better the health and
on that.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
No'm talking about health and wellness, right on wellness.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You brought my ex girlfriends into it.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Okay, and by wrong though, Tala's here now to save
the day, Tuala.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
No, no, no, there's no saving the day. It is true.
The crazier the woman.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
The crazier this activity in the boudoir is.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And that is why you love a crazy woman. But
you can't love it for a long time. No, you
got to be out. Yeah, you ain't get out. That's
still wellness. Figuratively speaking figuratively.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Let my husband call in.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh, we've messed up this segment. And I know your
husband's listening to Oh.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
He listens every week. He loves the radio and he
loves the My wife doesn't listen. You're safe. Well, I
will say this, I've been married for twenty two years.
But when I say your past relationships, I compare it
to a gym, because every gym has its own pros
and its own cons just like your ex girlfriend was
(06:58):
probably really good at one thing, but probably not so
good at another thing. Right, And so when the woman
was saying that she was going to keep one gym
membership and maybe get rid of another, I was saying, well,
there's probably some benefits to belonging to this more high
end gym, and then maybe some benefits to belonging to
the neighborhood gym.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And she said, you know, they're so different, and.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I love them both, and they both provide me with
two very different experiences. And so I started to dig
a little deeper. So what does the one that we
are standing in provide you with? And this is the
one that we live in the neighborhood iconic Singlewood. She said,
It is so rich in community and diversity, and it
(07:40):
feeds my soul. And I think that is a huge
part of wellness, having a community people that you love
to see, chat with and talk to. And then she said,
the other one has a lot of great services, services, equipment,
different things that she cannot get at this at least
(08:00):
at this current time.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Holi, men and women are so very different. And I
think the fellows would agree with me. When we like
to go to the gym, we want to make sure
that there's some visual entertainment. And I don't mean televisions.
I mean walking, motivation, walking around, you know, remind us
why we're there.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Don't look at me like that, Mark, I'm not wrong.
You don't even try to drag me into this. That
is wrong with you. Oh wow, I can't be the
only one. Can we tell the truth on this show? No,
we can't.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
We can. Currently all we're doing is telling the truth tonight.
It's the truth telling Wednesday, not the wellness Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Speak a different truth. She started it. I'm gonna go
twelve year old. She started it, Dad, And.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
You know, I will say that I've noticed the gym
change over the years, especially the things that women wear
to the gym the way that there's more women in
the weight room these days, and it does provide a
certain amount of visual stimulation for the guys at the gym.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
For hey, we don't discriminate. Maybe for the women too, and.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
For the w I'm sure, yeah, absolutely, It's just that
women are not as visually stimulated as men are.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Oh, we're all about the visual stimulation now. I mean,
let me just go ahead and go to break before
I get in trouble.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Please do, Stephan, you're supposed to wave at me saying
it's time to go to break, Time to break.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Okay, Ladies enjoying the conversation.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
We're joined live in studio and on YouTube and on
Instagram with the nice exercise lady that Mark Ronner dubbedr
as Claudine cost.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Might be the mean exercise lady according to her.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
According to a lot of people, Mark being real and
we're telling the truth.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
We're going to tell the truth up in here. We'll
have more in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Mister Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, on YouTube,
and now we're live on Instagram at mister mo Kelly
on both YouTube and Instagram. Right now I'm joined live
in studio by Claudinecooper. Make sure you go to Claudincooper
dot com. Mark Ronner originally called her the nice exercise Lady.
It kind of stuck, so whenever we refer to the
(10:17):
nice exercise lady, you know we're talking about Claudine Cooper.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
She wasn't so nice.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Last segment because she started bringing up my ex girlfriends
out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Oh It's like, I don't know what I did.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
She mentioned them, but she was using them as a
metaphor that we may find multiple ways to find health
and wellness. You're using it as a metaphor for someone
who has had memberships to multiple gyms.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Well, here's the thing. We're in a time now where
there's a lot of bootique fitness. There's all different kinds
of ways you can stay fit. You can get a peloton,
you can do apps, you can be on YouTube, just
like we are right now. There's a million different ways
that a person can get their work out in right,
some cost and then some are totally free, like my
workout that I teach on Saturdays. Although by the way,
(11:05):
this Saturday, we're having a big Mother's Day even in
the space that I normally teach, so there is no
free workout this Saturday. And Happy Mother's Day to everyone
who's listening, and also just holding space for the people
who have any kind of complication with Mother's Day, whether
you're dealing with loss, maybe loss of contact with your mom.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I definitely think about all those things around this weekend.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
But there are freeways to stay in shape, and then
there are pricey ways to stay in shape.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And my philosophy is every single.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Gym or pilate studio or yoga studio has its own energy,
its own vibe, you know. And I don't see anything
wrong with having multiple memberships. I think if you're going
to invest in something, why not invest in your health
and fitness.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
It's interesting you say that, because I think of the
exact opposite. I would say, you're probably gonna waste your
money somewhere, so you might as well waste it in
a more positive way, in the sense that the gym membership,
let's say it's forty dollars a month, Okay, people are
gonna run through forty dollars a month just getting Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
In one week.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Absolutely, So if you're going to if you're wasteful expenditure
happens to be a second gym membership, you're not doing
too badly.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Oh agreed, So we're on the same page.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Well, this is the other thing too, gym's bank on
the fact that you're not coming to the gym.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
True.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You know, if every single member actually used the gym
every day, or let's even say three days a week,
there wouldn't be enough space and equipment for all those people.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Right.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
However, having it sometimes feels kind of like a safety net.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Right.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
If I have the membership, when I get ready to
use it, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
There for me.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
You also mentioned the environment and what people may extract
from the environment.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm basically paraphrasing you.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I had a gym membership back in the day pre pandemic,
let it go when the pandemic hit at La Fitness,
and I was mentally already on the way to let
it go because they didn't appreciate the environment. For me,
it was too much of a club and people were
there more to meet other people and hogging up the
machines as opposed to actually use the machines, And so
(13:32):
I can understand when someone says a gym may offer
something in a more of an emotional sense or a
community sense, which is necessary to motivate them or to
work out, and I could just see how that work and.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Not even necessary to motivate them to work out. Mo's
let's start exploring all the components of wellness. Let's not
just think about exercise as the one and only come
opponent of our health and our wellness. Exercise is just
one piece of a larger puzzle. We have to have
(14:09):
the social and emotional well being. A lot of people
during the pandemic went into full isolation, and many.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Have not come out yet. I'm going to be honest.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I agree with that. I definitely agree with that.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
I am interfacing with human beings every single day, and
what I'm finding people have a heightened fear of other humans.
They are highly anxious, very closed off to connection, to
the point where now at the end of my classes,
I force connection. And some people who are watching and
(14:46):
listening may think this sounds horrible, but I teach classes.
I have very well attended classes, and I'm thankful and
grateful for that. At the end of the class, I
let people know that your social and emotional health requires
exercise as well, and one of the exercises.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Says again, I want you to highlight and also put
that in bold and I talent.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
In order to exercise your social and emotional wellbeing, you
have to open yourself up to connections. You have to
reach out to people, you have to talk to other
human beings. You have to realize we are more alike
than we are different. We're not as scary as the
news or the social media will make people believe. I
(15:34):
have a very diverse group of people young, oh, different shapes,
different sizes, different ethnicities. And by the time we've introduced ourselves, baby,
I can't get these people out the room. I'm like, y'all,
I need to clean it again.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't forget they will linger.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
That they go from not knowing each other at all
to now I want to have a full conversation. Let's
continue this, Let's go get a smoothie. I'm I'm telling
you it has been one of the most gratifying experiences
is to bring people back together after isolation, and that
is the social and emotional piece we are in May.
(16:11):
It is Mental health Awareness month. The mental health piece,
go to therapy, talk to somebody about your traumas. Every
single human being that I have come in contact with
has experienced some difficult situation in their life and is
working through it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'm just going to let that hang out there.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
It's real because you are talking to somebody or somebody's
right now. It's almost like if you've ever been to church,
sometimes that message is meant for you and you specifically
you know the pastor may not know you personal or
may not even be thinking about you, but that message
on that day was meant for you to hear and
you to act upon. And I know that was meant
for someone who's in the chat right now on YouTube,
(16:49):
was listening at home or in their car and they said, yes,
I get it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Now that's me. Now I'm going to take my ass
to the gym.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I would hope so. And it doesn't have to be
the gym. Community and social emotional health can be. You
can have a sorority, a fraternity, you can go to church,
you can be part of a you know, jiu jitsu
or whatever it is. Because at that point you are
interfacing with people that are different from maybe just your
family or who you talk to on a regular basis.
(17:16):
It is so important to expand your connection with human beings.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Claudingcooper dot com Again, that's Claudincooper dot com. If you're

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Baby, no no, no, no, no, no, it's not easy.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's not easy.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's easy.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
And look, and I would like to think of myself
as somewhat active.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Somewhat oh you're very active, but still it's one of
those things your age, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Oh damn you. You had to just throw that out there,

I just made my way into the fifties club. Yes
you did, Yes, I did, proudly when you were coming.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
You're on your way here, and I sent you a
story talking about the cost of health and wellness, and
it was more about how much people would spend on

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Health and wellness. And let me just tell you this.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
This is my my sheet of stuff that I buy monthly.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Okay, let's see.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I have magnesium gummies and this stuff I take every day.
I have beatroot gummies, a granite tart cherry, turmeric, probiotics
from my stomach, and glucosamine for my joints. It adds
up over the course of a month, but I would
rather that than the Yes.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
But you haven't put in your membership at your do
you go to a dojo or well.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
I'm actually teaching classes at a dojon, So yeah, you
don't have to pay a membership. No, no, no, okay,
because that's what I started to think about. I started
to think about paying for memberships. What about massage and recovery?
You do any chiropractic care?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
If I had more time, Yeah, I just have one
of those theraguns.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Those are pricey though, No they are, but it's a
single purchase, yes, and I have two of them at home,
and they are world changers.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Let me tell you, I.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Never knew about how how well they worked until I
was really, really sore one day. My hamstrings were yelling

Speaker 3 (03:05):
He can walk. Uh.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
The thera gun is one of the greatest inventions. I
personally prefer a foam roller and I use a studded roller,
so it has like these little things coming out of it.
It's very painful, but if you roll yourself out, has
a similar effect of a thera gun.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Before I had a thera gun, I use a bread
rolling pin and is it's it's great people think like
a rolling pin. Yes, put that on the on your
quads and your hamstrings.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
It will loosen you right up.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
But the point is you may end up spending a
little bit more than a lot, yeah, to get all
these tools. And it may be monthly, it may be semiannually.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Where do you come out on that?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
You know?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I was so you sent the article on.
Speaker 5 (03:52):

and she was saying, you know, it's getting a little pricey.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Maybe I'm going to let one go.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
But what I said, and this is my true belief,
and I'm glad you sent the article. If you invest
in your health today, you won't have to pay for surgeries,
medications and all these other things in the future. And
so when we were talking, I said to her, are
(04:52):
there benefits to belonging to the other gym versus benefits
to belonging to the gym that we were at, And
she said, absolutely, They're two different styles. See, no two
gyms are the same. I've worked in gyms my whole life,
since I was eighteen years old everything from the Why
to Bally's to Equinox everywhere in between. And I compare
(05:13):
it kind of to you know, your ex girlfriends, mo,
not that you've ever had another girlfriend besides your wife.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Oh my gosh, it just got personal up in here.
But and I understood exactly what she meant. So you
know each one, but serve the purpose of at that
point in your life.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
And they were different, and they were different, right, and
so they're all crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You like them crazy, that's what.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Wait, you know why right? No, tell me, Twala, come
help me os.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Okay, I'm going to say this very delicately. Yeah, the
crazier she is, I'm listening. The better the health and
on that.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
No'm talking about health and wellness, right on wellness.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You brought my ex girlfriends into it.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Okay, and by wrong though, Tala's here now to save
the day, Tuala.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
No, no, no, there's no saving the day. It is true.
The crazier the woman.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
The crazier this activity in the boudoir is.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And that is why you love a crazy woman. But
you can't love it for a long time. No, you
got to be out. Yeah, you ain't get out. That's
still wellness. Figuratively speaking figuratively.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Let my husband call in.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh, we've messed up this segment. And I know your
husband's listening to Oh.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
He listens every week. He loves the radio and he
loves the My wife doesn't listen. You're safe. Well, I
will say this, I've been married for twenty two years.
But when I say your past relationships, I compare it
to a gym, because every gym has its own pros
and its own cons just like your ex girlfriend was
(06:58):
probably really good at one thing, but probably not so
good at another thing. Right, And so when the woman
was saying that she was going to keep one gym
membership and maybe get rid of another, I was saying, well,
there's probably some benefits to belonging to this more high
end gym, and then maybe some benefits to belonging to
the neighborhood gym.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And she said, you know, they're so different, and.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I love them both, and they both provide me with
two very different experiences. And so I started to dig
a little deeper. So what does the one that we
are standing in provide you with? And this is the
one that we live in the neighborhood iconic Singlewood. She said,
It is so rich in community and diversity, and it
(07:40):
feeds my soul. And I think that is a huge
part of wellness, having a community people that you love
to see, chat with and talk to. And then she said,
the other one has a lot of great services, services, equipment,
different things that she cannot get at this at least
(08:00):
at this current time.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Holi, men and women are so very different. And I
think the fellows would agree with me. When we like
to go to the gym, we want to make sure
that there's some visual entertainment. And I don't mean televisions.
I mean walking, motivation, walking around, you know, remind us
why we're there.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Don't look at me like that, Mark, I'm not wrong.
You don't even try to drag me into this. That
is wrong with you. Oh wow, I can't be the
only one. Can we tell the truth on this show? No,
we can't.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
We can. Currently all we're doing is telling the truth tonight.
It's the truth telling Wednesday, not the wellness Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Speak a different truth. She started it. I'm gonna go
twelve year old. She started it, Dad, And.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
You know, I will say that I've noticed the gym
change over the years, especially the things that women wear
to the gym the way that there's more women in
the weight room these days, and it does provide a
certain amount of visual stimulation for the guys at the gym.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
For hey, we don't discriminate. Maybe for the women too, and.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
For the w I'm sure, yeah, absolutely, It's just that
women are not as visually stimulated as men are.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Oh, we're all about the visual stimulation now. I mean,
let me just go ahead and go to break before
I get in trouble.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Please do, Stephan, you're supposed to wave at me saying
it's time to go to break, Time to break.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Okay, Ladies enjoying the conversation.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
We're joined live in studio and on YouTube and on
Instagram with the nice exercise lady that Mark Ronner dubbedr
as Claudine cost.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Might be the mean exercise lady according to her.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
According to a lot of people, Mark being real and
we're telling the truth.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
We're going to tell the truth up in here. We'll
have more in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Mister Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, on YouTube,
and now we're live on Instagram at mister mo Kelly
on both YouTube and Instagram. Right now I'm joined live
in studio by Claudinecooper. Make sure you go to Claudincooper
dot com. Mark Ronner originally called her the nice exercise Lady.
It kind of stuck, so whenever we refer to the
(10:17):
nice exercise lady, you know we're talking about Claudine Cooper.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
She wasn't so nice.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Last segment because she started bringing up my ex girlfriends
out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Oh It's like, I don't know what I did.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
She mentioned them, but she was using them as a
metaphor that we may find multiple ways to find health
and wellness. You're using it as a metaphor for someone
who has had memberships to multiple gyms.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Well, here's the thing. We're in a time now where
there's a lot of bootique fitness. There's all different kinds
of ways you can stay fit. You can get a peloton,
you can do apps, you can be on YouTube, just
like we are right now. There's a million different ways
that a person can get their work out in right,
some cost and then some are totally free, like my
workout that I teach on Saturdays. Although by the way,
(11:05):
this Saturday, we're having a big Mother's Day even in
the space that I normally teach, so there is no
free workout this Saturday. And Happy Mother's Day to everyone
who's listening, and also just holding space for the people
who have any kind of complication with Mother's Day, whether
you're dealing with loss, maybe loss of contact with your mom.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I definitely think about all those things around this weekend.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
But there are freeways to stay in shape, and then
there are pricey ways to stay in shape.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And my philosophy is every single.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Gym or pilate studio or yoga studio has its own energy,
its own vibe, you know. And I don't see anything
wrong with having multiple memberships. I think if you're going
to invest in something, why not invest in your health
and fitness.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
It's interesting you say that, because I think of the
exact opposite. I would say, you're probably gonna waste your
money somewhere, so you might as well waste it in
a more positive way, in the sense that the gym membership,
let's say it's forty dollars a month, Okay, people are
gonna run through forty dollars a month just getting Starbucks.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
In one week.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Absolutely, So if you're going to if you're wasteful expenditure
happens to be a second gym membership, you're not doing
too badly.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Oh agreed, So we're on the same page.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Well, this is the other thing too, gym's bank on
the fact that you're not coming to the gym.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
True.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
You know, if every single member actually used the gym
every day, or let's even say three days a week,
there wouldn't be enough space and equipment for all those people.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Right.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
However, having it sometimes feels kind of like a safety net.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Right.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
If I have the membership, when I get ready to
use it, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
There for me.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
You also mentioned the environment and what people may extract
from the environment.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm basically paraphrasing you.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I had a gym membership back in the day pre pandemic,
let it go when the pandemic hit at La Fitness,
and I was mentally already on the way to let
it go because they didn't appreciate the environment. For me,
it was too much of a club and people were
there more to meet other people and hogging up the
machines as opposed to actually use the machines, And so
(13:32):
I can understand when someone says a gym may offer
something in a more of an emotional sense or a
community sense, which is necessary to motivate them or to
work out, and I could just see how that work and.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Not even necessary to motivate them to work out. Mo's
let's start exploring all the components of wellness. Let's not
just think about exercise as the one and only come
opponent of our health and our wellness. Exercise is just
one piece of a larger puzzle. We have to have
(14:09):
the social and emotional well being. A lot of people
during the pandemic went into full isolation, and many.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Have not come out yet. I'm going to be honest.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I agree with that. I definitely agree with that.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
I am interfacing with human beings every single day, and
what I'm finding people have a heightened fear of other humans.
They are highly anxious, very closed off to connection, to
the point where now at the end of my classes,
I force connection. And some people who are watching and
(14:46):
listening may think this sounds horrible, but I teach classes.
I have very well attended classes, and I'm thankful and
grateful for that. At the end of the class, I
let people know that your social and emotional health requires
exercise as well, and one of the exercises.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Says again, I want you to highlight and also put
that in bold and I talent.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
In order to exercise your social and emotional wellbeing, you
have to open yourself up to connections. You have to
reach out to people, you have to talk to other
human beings. You have to realize we are more alike
than we are different. We're not as scary as the
news or the social media will make people believe. I
(15:34):
have a very diverse group of people young, oh, different shapes,
different sizes, different ethnicities. And by the time we've introduced ourselves, baby,
I can't get these people out the room. I'm like, y'all,
I need to clean it again.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't forget they will linger.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
That they go from not knowing each other at all
to now I want to have a full conversation. Let's
continue this, Let's go get a smoothie. I'm I'm telling
you it has been one of the most gratifying experiences
is to bring people back together after isolation, and that
is the social and emotional piece we are in May.
(16:11):
It is Mental health Awareness month. The mental health piece,
go to therapy, talk to somebody about your traumas. Every
single human being that I have come in contact with
has experienced some difficult situation in their life and is
working through it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'm just going to let that hang out there.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
It's real because you are talking to somebody or somebody's
right now. It's almost like if you've ever been to church,
sometimes that message is meant for you and you specifically
you know the pastor may not know you personal or
may not even be thinking about you, but that message
on that day was meant for you to hear and
you to act upon. And I know that was meant
for someone who's in the chat right now on YouTube,
(16:49):
was listening at home or in their car and they said, yes,
I get it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Now that's me. Now I'm going to take my ass
to the gym.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I would hope so. And it doesn't have to be
the gym. Community and social emotional health can be. You
can have a sorority, a fraternity, you can go to church,
you can be part of a you know, jiu jitsu
or whatever it is. Because at that point you are
interfacing with people that are different from maybe just your
family or who you talk to on a regular basis.
(17:16):
It is so important to expand your connection with human beings.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Claudingcooper dot com Again, that's Claudincooper dot com. If you're
watching our YouTube stream, you can see some of her
videos right now on YouTube.
