spring is such a great time to Walk in socal

Over the past few years I’ve developed an appreciation for the South Bay area of Los Angeles. It’d be easy to overlook this Socal gem and all the great things located within it because it’s (by L.A. standards) pretty far from the freeway. But I’ve seen that once you’re there…you kind of don’t want to leave.

I especially like the Palos Verdes peninsula in the Spring, after the rain. There’s always a huge eruption of gorgeous wildflowers that reminds you that nature is always waiting in the wings to come back, to share its beauty and its bounty.

As much as I like to work out in the gym, there are times when absolutely nothing beats a walk in nature. And there’s so much research to support the health benefits of walking, whether it’s a hike, a stroll, hot girl walk, an awe walk (my favorite kind), or even a fart walk (ummm…okay, what the heck?).

The key is to do something. No amount is too little, and it all counts towards your steps for the day, the week, and your life. So get out there…May grey or not, it’s beautiful and so, so good for you!
