Speaker 2 (00:25):
Onday. It is about well listen business, Nachel says it
shot work out this bad time work.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Out kf I am six forty is wellness Wednesday on
Later with mo Kelly And it's always a treat to
have the Claudine Cooper join us in the studio. You
may not have seen her for the past couple of
weeks because she's been very, very busy doing the wellness
(00:57):
thing outside the confine of this studio.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Claudine is great to see you again. How are you.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Oh, I'm happy to be back in the lab with
you guys, you crazy kids.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I happen to believe that the world is making more
room for you and your blessing. And that's my way
of saying that, because you're doing good things and putting
it out there, it comes back to you two and threefold,
so you may not have as much time for us.
I don't take it personally. I take it as symbolically.
(01:29):
You are growing and you know the world is making
room for your blessing. So I say congratulations to you.
I know you have a lot of irons in the fire.
But before we went forward, I want to make sure
we acknowledge that a lot of good things are happening
over there for you.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Well, I will say this, I am very blessed and
thankful to do a job that I love. Not only
that I love, but I feel passionate about creating access
in wellness in fitness for people who may not be
able to access it otherwise.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Fitness wellness they are two sides of the same coin.
They mean a lot of the similar things, but they're
not exactly the same. And for our topic tonight, I'm
reminded on a back of my way into this, I'm
reminded of how many people usually clown me, make fun
of me because I'm usually just walking around the building
(02:22):
or I'm marching in place, because I work in radio,
a three hour radio show, and it's very easy to
end up sitting if I get it at four o'clock
for six hours, unless I'm intentional about trying to avoid
this sedentary lifestyle. And I look to you and you're
teaching I don't know how many classes a day. You're
(02:43):
always moving, so you may not have to actively consider that.
But for many people, even people who are maybe watching
on YouTube, whether they're listening on iHeartRadio, app or terrestrially,
they may spend hours upon hours of a given day,
any day, all days, just sitting.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
What is the downside to that, Well, there's a few things.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
First of all, people think, just because I teach fitness
classes that I'm always moving, and I do move more
because I have a physical job. But the truth is
all of us Mo, you, Me, Carnesia, everybody who is listening,
we all spend way more time than we should in
seated position, whether it's because of our jobs or driving.
(03:25):
Like today, I drove out here to Burbank. It took
me an hour, so I was seated for an hour.
Prior to that, I went and picked up a salad.
I sat down and ated my salad. If you really
start to count up the amount of time you're spending sitting,
any of us can say we spend way more time
sitting in twenty twenty five, then we may have spent
sitting even twenty years ago. To be honest with you,
(03:49):
things have changed dramatically, and so I've been doing some
research on sedentary lifestyle, and what I've found is that
doctors are saying that our cognitive tive health is impacted
by a sedentary lifestyle. We've always known that long periods
of sitting are unhealthy, right, But now they're starting to
(04:14):
make a correlation between things like all Zheimer's dementia, memory loss,
lack of cognitive abilities. They're making this connection with sedentary life.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I know you're not a doctor, but am I wrong
if I were to say there's something obviously in the
connection of movement blood flow and also brain blood flow.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Well, you've been to my classmo, so now I'm going
to back into it.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Okay, you've heard me teach my.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Workout and then say good morning or hello to the participants,
for example, Hey mo, hey, Towalla, Hey Carnesia and knowing
people's names is something that your memory is used for,
and people always ask me, how are you able to
(05:08):
remember everyone's name?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I've asked you that at least five times.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
You have, and I share that because I truly believe,
first and foremost, I will say, I've always had a
good memory. Do you remember back when we had to
memorize phone numbers?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yes, I'm going to stop you because I want you to
think back and tell me this to this day. Could
you recite your childhood phone number to me right now?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yes, if only because my mother still lives in the
house of where I was as a child and has
the number and has the number. Yes, but those are
very specific that I was drilled into my head. The
other words, I remember my very first phone number I
had when I was living in that house that I got.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, I got my own phone, you know, the on phone.
But if you were to ask me to Walla's number,
I don't know. I don't know. I could get.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Maybe six or five or six of the digits, or
I may miss mix up some of the digits.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
We don't require ourselves.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
To remember about your wife's phone number. Yes, that one
I do remember, Okay, because I want to live. I
was just going to say. My point is, I can
recite to you my husband's phone number.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I can recite to you the number to my job.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So there's a few things I think we should all
be working on on a daily basis. And even though
we have our phones that help assist us with a
lot of different things, if an emergency happens and you
need to call someone, you have to have at least
one person's phone number memorized that you can reach out
to if you don't have access to your contacts.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You mean like getting arrested. I didn't say that. I'm
just asking questions. That's all I did. Is what reason
would you I'm not on my cell phone. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I'm just saying, but these brain exercises. Another one is
try a different route when you go somewhere like tonight,
I didn't take my usual route to get to Burbank,
and to be honest, I did get turned around because
this isn't my normal stompay grounds and that's when I
relied on my GPS. But for the most part, I
made it all the way to Burbank with no GPS.
(07:24):
But then when I was on the other side, I
was like, where am I going? I used my GPS.
But I share that with you to say that our
brain is a muscle and it needs to be exercised.
If it's memorizing names, or if it's memorizing numbers, or
if it's trying a new route, if it's not using
your GPS, if it's reading a book instead of listening
(07:44):
to the audible version, we definitely have to work this muscle.
And also movement is one way you said blood flow
and all of that. I don't know the technicalities behind it.
I'm not a doctor. But what I do know is
I been exercising consistently for thirty two years, and my
memory is still very sharp at fifty years old.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You're not fifty. I think you just came in and
started lying at forty nine. You're actually like thirty two.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
This gray here says, it says. Let me ask you this.
Do you remember the phone numbers of all your children?
I don't want to. I plead the fifth.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I beleeve it because I remember one, and then I
don't remember the other two.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So you know I've got three kids. I No, it's.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Really hard because those numbers, you hear them maybe once
or twice.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You're not it's not being reinforced, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
With my wife's phone number, it's being reinforced in a
number of ways. My home phone number for when I
was growing up, that never changed, so I never had
any reason to worry about not remembering it. Yeah, if
you ask me what my sister's phone number is, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, now my brother's phone numbers. I still have memorized
my husband's phone number. Yes, grandmother yes, parents, yes, now
everybody else. My kids ain't bailing me out of jail.
I mean, you know emergency cases.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Have any of those numbers changed over the years.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I know my number and only have a mobile phone
number has not changed this century. So the people who
hated me back then or whatever, they can still find me.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You know, if they knew my number at any time
you said pull up on me, that's right, because you
never know.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Listen, I've had the same number since nineteen ninety nine
as well, So for me, it's you know, yeah, it's
you can find me too, but don't tell anybody.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Hopefully you know. The people I don't like, they don't
forgot my number. Right.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's Later with Mokelly. I'm joined in the studio by
Claudine Cooper. We're talking about all things health and wellness.
Be sure to go to Claudinecooper dot com for more information.
In fact, have mormal Claudy in just a moment k
if I am six forty. We're live on YouTube if

we're live on Instagram, Facebook, and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Kelly six.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're live on YouTube, Instagram,
and Facebook. And we're still in the middle of Wellness
Wednesdays with Claudine Cooper and if you haven't, please go
to Claudinecooper dot com. She is doing wonderful things, not
only here in the community, but also she has other projects.
She's also available for seminars and also working with other
(10:48):
corporate entities.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I'll let you tell people as you feel comfortable, but
all of it and correct me if I'm wrong. Stems
from this desire to help people however you can right
where you are, and it doesn't necessarily have to be
in a particular physical gym setting.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
You'll just meet people in the community.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
So one thing I'm really passionate about is taking the
excuses out of movement. And I feel like a lot
of times people are like, oh, I don't have a
gym membership, or maybe I should get the shaker weight,
or maybe I.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Should take me back.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I had to say that because the the number of apparatus,
how do you say it, apparati apparadi for plural. Okay,
it's crazy the amount of things they come up with
where people are like, this is the one, I'm going
to order this one, and this is going to make
me dedicate myself to fitness, when in fact, as long
(11:58):
as you have your body, even if you don't have
full working use of your body, you can still do something.
And that is what I like to impress upon people.
And yes, you are right, Mo, doors have been opening
for me professionally, but it's a long accumulation of thirty
(12:23):
years of working in this industry and now wellness is trending.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Denzel Washington, I think he was the person I first
heard say it. He says, you may know my glory,
but you don't know my story. In other words, they
want to see you and the success that you've achieved,
the accolades that you earn, but they don't necessarily see
all the work leading up to that point.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And I think there is a correlation.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
When you talk about someone's body or shape or level
of fitness and say, oh my gosh, here you're only
a size too, it's like, yeah, but I'm working out
every damn.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Day, every day, every day.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And I say this in also having much respect for
all different situations and circumstances, because everyone doesn't have full
working use of their body for whatever reason. But what
I do like to try to help people do is
(13:19):
find ways to use what they got to get what
they want. So even if you can't, let's say, let's
say you have bad knees. That's a real common one,
bad knees. I just posted on my Instagram about my knees.
My knees make a lot of noise these days. It's
snapcrastop you too.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You're a human, after all. I'm a human after all.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
However, I don't allow that to prevent me from still
moving my body. But here's some ways that I have
downgraded from doing high intensity movement to doing less impact.
One of the ways is I don't do a lot
of jumping or running anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It's less.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I do it occasionally, but before I would jump and
run almost every day.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
The other thing, too, is I'm incorporating more recovery into
my workout regiment. Right. Recovery can be anything from water therapy,
meaning you can go in the pool, you can swim labs,
you can walk up and down the lane of the pool.
Another way to recover would be yoga or stretching, mobility
(14:32):
and recovery. Right then I teach polates, and pilates is
a healing modality. It's a combination of stretch and strength
and stability and breath work. And believe it or not,
since we have reintegrated into society, people have been not breathing.
(14:56):
I know that sounds crazy, because how are we alliged that?
Please go with that, But what I've noticed is that
when we take a short breath, for example, we go
like this.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Instead of a long breath. Like the short breath, it.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Incites a certain level of anxiety, and it raises your
blood pressure, and.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It raises your blood pressure, and we can just go
from there. There's a cascating effect, a.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Big cascading effect of negative health outcomes. And so encouraging
people to just simply take a deep breath is something
I never thought that I would be doing in my
wellness work, but it has become the center of what
I do every day.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I do it as well as something that we teach
in my particular martial arts, the meditation aspects of just
and we have to say, you know, long breath, long life.
You know, the longer you breathe, and the longer your
individual breaths, the longer your life will be. So I
knew where you were going with that, and I just
I'm just co signing because it's something that I swear
(16:11):
by and I wish more people knew about. You get
a lot of health benefit from just controlling and monitoring
your own breathing.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Also going back and circling around to sedentary living, which
we talked about in the beginning of this show, is
sitting down is not the best way to pull breath in.
So when we sit down, we naturally slump our shoulders forward,
our stomach naturally protrudes, and our lungs are not getting
(16:43):
the most air. So one of the things I've started
to do with my corporate wellness work meeting people right
where they are. If they're sitting at their desk, I
simply ask them to just pull their shoulders back. You
can even work on your breath from seated. But what
I really want people to do is find ways to
(17:06):
move throughout the day. Yes, and I see you. You
walk your laps around this floor, you get up, you
do your stretches. Those kinds of things can make an
incremental change in how our body responds to stress, how
productive we are, how we feel.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
In our mood.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Our emotional health, as well as getting up and moving around,
also encourages us to talk to the people that are
around us.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I don't want to talk to anything. Oh I don't
like half of them.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
They love you, and I saw a couple of them
come in and chat with us.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Hey Mark, Hey Foosh.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
We saw them come in and chat with us during
the break. And I say that to say that our
social health has also suffered in this sedentary lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Say that one more time, because I don't think people
got that. I think it went over some of their heads.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Our social and emotional health are impacted by a life
that is spent sitting down, scrolling the internet, looking at
the TV, binge watching Netflix. You're not outside, you're not
getting any fresh air, you're not getting any sunlight, and
you're not opening yourself up to talking to people who
(18:25):
are outside walking their dogs or strolling their babies, or
whatever it might be. I say, get up, get out,
move around, breathe.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
While they're breathing. Right now, let's remind people how they
can find you. I know that the summer session for
your community workouts. Has ended, But what else are you
up to that people might be able to part take well?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
First and foremost, I'm always going to be teaching classes,
whether I'm outside or inside. I have a couple different
options where people can find me.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You can go online.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
You can always follow me on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, et cetera.
Or you can find me on the website Claudinecooper dot com.
But I oftentimes just invite people to come see me
at the gym. You know, my schedule at the gym varies,
but I teach pilates, I teach sculpt I teach strength training,
(19:22):
hit classes and everything in between. But I love for
people to come visit and just check out the gym,
use the amenities.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You can always be my guest.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
You can always be our guest here on Lea with
mo Kelly Clauding Cooper. It's always good to see you.
Even though I know you're extremely busy and you're being
pulled in any number of directions. We don't take it
for granted and we're appreciative that you do manage to
take this drive out to Burbank, albeit maybe different path
or different routing time to keep your brain functioning.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yes, thank you for having me. I love coming out
here and I miss you when I'm not here. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
She misses everyone except you. Mark. Don't say that Mark
is my boy. There see his chicken bone, bro? There
you tell all your business now. I'm not ashamed of
my chicken bone.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
That's right.

brain is a muscle and it needs to be exercised.
If it's memorizing names, or if it's memorizing numbers, or
if it's trying a new route, if it's not using
your GPS, if it's reading a book instead of listening
(07:44):
to the audible version, we definitely have to work this muscle.
And also movement is one way you said blood flow
and all of that. I don't know the technicalities behind it.
I'm not a doctor. But what I do know is
I been exercising consistently for thirty two years, and my
memory is still very sharp at fifty years old.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You're not fifty. I think you just came in and
started lying at forty nine. You're actually like thirty two.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
This gray here says, it says. Let me ask you this.
Do you remember the phone numbers of all your children?
I don't want to. I plead the fifth.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I beleeve it because I remember one, and then I
don't remember the other two.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So you know I've got three kids. I No, it's.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Really hard because those numbers, you hear them maybe once
or twice.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You're not it's not being reinforced, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
With my wife's phone number, it's being reinforced in a
number of ways. My home phone number for when I
was growing up, that never changed, so I never had
any reason to worry about not remembering it. Yeah, if
you ask me what my sister's phone number is, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, now my brother's phone numbers. I still have memorized
my husband's phone number. Yes, grandmother yes, parents, yes, now
everybody else. My kids ain't bailing me out of jail.
I mean, you know emergency cases.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Have any of those numbers changed over the years.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I know my number and only have a mobile phone
number has not changed this century. So the people who
hated me back then or whatever, they can still find me.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You know, if they knew my number at any time
you said pull up on me, that's right, because you
never know.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Listen, I've had the same number since nineteen ninety nine
as well, So for me, it's you know, yeah, it's
you can find me too, but don't tell anybody.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Hopefully you know. The people I don't like, they don't
forgot my number. Right.
Speaker 3 (09:51):

She's also available for seminars and also working with other
(10:48):
corporate entities.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I'll let you tell people as you feel comfortable, but
all of it and correct me if I'm wrong. Stems
from this desire to help people however you can right
where you are, and it doesn't necessarily have to be
in a particular physical gym setting.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
You'll just meet people in the community.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
So one thing I'm really passionate about is taking the
excuses out of movement. And I feel like a lot
of times people are like, oh, I don't have a
gym membership, or maybe I should get the shaker weight,
or maybe I.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Should take me back.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I had to say that because the the number of apparatus,
how do you say it, apparati apparadi for plural. Okay,
it's crazy the amount of things they come up with
where people are like, this is the one, I'm going
to order this one, and this is going to make
me dedicate myself to fitness, when in fact, as long
(11:58):
as you have your body, even if you don't have
full working use of your body, you can still do something.
And that is what I like to impress upon people.
And yes, you are right, Mo, doors have been opening
for me professionally, but it's a long accumulation of thirty
(12:23):
years of working in this industry and now wellness is trending.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Denzel Washington, I think he was the person I first
heard say it. He says, you may know my glory,
but you don't know my story. In other words, they
want to see you and the success that you've achieved,
the accolades that you earn, but they don't necessarily see
all the work leading up to that point.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
And I think there is a correlation.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
When you talk about someone's body or shape or level
of fitness and say, oh my gosh, here you're only
a size too, it's like, yeah, but I'm working out
every damn.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Day, every day, every day.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
And I say this in also having much respect for
all different situations and circumstances, because everyone doesn't have full
working use of their body for whatever reason. But what
I do like to try to help people do is
(13:19):
find ways to use what they got to get what
they want. So even if you can't, let's say, let's
say you have bad knees. That's a real common one,
bad knees. I just posted on my Instagram about my knees.
My knees make a lot of noise these days. It's
snapcrastop you too.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You're a human, after all. I'm a human after all.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
However, I don't allow that to prevent me from still
moving my body. But here's some ways that I have
downgraded from doing high intensity movement to doing less impact.
One of the ways is I don't do a lot
of jumping or running anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It's less.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I do it occasionally, but before I would jump and
run almost every day.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
The other thing, too, is I'm incorporating more recovery into
my workout regiment. Right. Recovery can be anything from water therapy,
meaning you can go in the pool, you can swim labs,
you can walk up and down the lane of the pool.
Another way to recover would be yoga or stretching, mobility
(14:32):
and recovery. Right then I teach polates, and pilates is
a healing modality. It's a combination of stretch and strength
and stability and breath work. And believe it or not,
since we have reintegrated into society, people have been not breathing.
(14:56):
I know that sounds crazy, because how are we alliged that?
Please go with that, But what I've noticed is that
when we take a short breath, for example, we go
like this.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Instead of a long breath. Like the short breath, it.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Incites a certain level of anxiety, and it raises your
blood pressure, and.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
It raises your blood pressure, and we can just go
from there. There's a cascating effect, a.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Big cascading effect of negative health outcomes. And so encouraging
people to just simply take a deep breath is something
I never thought that I would be doing in my
wellness work, but it has become the center of what
I do every day.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I do it as well as something that we teach
in my particular martial arts, the meditation aspects of just
and we have to say, you know, long breath, long life.
You know, the longer you breathe, and the longer your
individual breaths, the longer your life will be. So I
knew where you were going with that, and I just
I'm just co signing because it's something that I swear
(16:11):
by and I wish more people knew about. You get
a lot of health benefit from just controlling and monitoring
your own breathing.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Also going back and circling around to sedentary living, which
we talked about in the beginning of this show, is
sitting down is not the best way to pull breath in.
So when we sit down, we naturally slump our shoulders forward,
our stomach naturally protrudes, and our lungs are not getting
(16:43):
the most air. So one of the things I've started
to do with my corporate wellness work meeting people right
where they are. If they're sitting at their desk, I
simply ask them to just pull their shoulders back. You
can even work on your breath from seated. But what
I really want people to do is find ways to
(17:06):
move throughout the day. Yes, and I see you. You
walk your laps around this floor, you get up, you
do your stretches. Those kinds of things can make an
incremental change in how our body responds to stress, how
productive we are, how we feel.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
In our mood.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Our emotional health, as well as getting up and moving around,
also encourages us to talk to the people that are
around us.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I don't want to talk to anything. Oh I don't
like half of them.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
They love you, and I saw a couple of them
come in and chat with us.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Hey Mark, Hey Foosh.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
We saw them come in and chat with us during
the break. And I say that to say that our
social health has also suffered in this sedentary lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Say that one more time, because I don't think people
got that. I think it went over some of their heads.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Our social and emotional health are impacted by a life
that is spent sitting down, scrolling the internet, looking at
the TV, binge watching Netflix. You're not outside, you're not
getting any fresh air, you're not getting any sunlight, and
you're not opening yourself up to talking to people who
(18:25):
are outside walking their dogs or strolling their babies, or
whatever it might be. I say, get up, get out,
move around, breathe.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
While they're breathing. Right now, let's remind people how they
can find you. I know that the summer session for
your community workouts. Has ended, But what else are you
up to that people might be able to part take well?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
First and foremost, I'm always going to be teaching classes,
whether I'm outside or inside. I have a couple different
options where people can find me.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You can go online.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
You can always follow me on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, et cetera.
Or you can find me on the website Claudinecooper dot com.
But I oftentimes just invite people to come see me
at the gym. You know, my schedule at the gym varies,
but I teach pilates, I teach sculpt I teach strength training,
(19:22):
hit classes and everything in between. But I love for
people to come visit and just check out the gym,
use the amenities.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You can always be my guest.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
You can always be our guest here on Lea with
mo Kelly Clauding Cooper. It's always good to see you.
Even though I know you're extremely busy and you're being
pulled in any number of directions. We don't take it
for granted and we're appreciative that you do manage to
take this drive out to Burbank, albeit maybe different path
or different routing time to keep your brain functioning.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yes, thank you for having me. I love coming out
here and I miss you when I'm not here. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
She misses everyone except you. Mark. Don't say that Mark
is my boy. There see his chicken bone, bro? There
you tell all your business now. I'm not ashamed of
my chicken bone.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
That's right.
