Speaker 4: everywhere on social media and the iHeartRadio app. Claudine Cooper
Speaker 4: now joins us in studio. She's back.
Speaker 3: She was away for a while.
Speaker 5: I'm so happy to be back.
Speaker 3: Mo the nice exercise lady.
Speaker 5: Although everybody says, everybody says, oh, now we know what
Speaker 5: you mean when you say you're not the nice exercise lady,
Speaker 5: because now everybody in here has pretty much taken my
Speaker 5: class and they know I'm not really the nice exercise lady.
Speaker 3: But my wife until we exercise.
Speaker 4: Yes, my wife Lablu Harris done your class, Daniel, our
Speaker 4: video technical director has Carnecie, who's not here tonight.
Speaker 3: She's done your class.
Speaker 4: We got to get Twalla out there so you can
Speaker 4: you can bust his ass too.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've done her a few times.
Speaker 5: I've done it a few times.
Speaker 3: She's trying to kill me.
Speaker 5: It's it's all in love, though, I just you know,
Speaker 5: it's my my labor of love.
Speaker 4: You I think, did you announce here on your show
Speaker 4: your new endeavor.
Speaker 5: Well, when I visited you for your holiday party, I
Speaker 5: announced then. But I'm I'm supposed to be. Mum's the
Speaker 5: word about it. But for those of you who just
Speaker 5: between us, I am working with Nike a little bit.
Speaker 5: So that's exciting for a fitness person because Nike is
Speaker 5: like the pinnacle of fitness.
Speaker 4: The public word word. But it's great to have you back.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to tell all your business, but you
Speaker 4: were on vacation. You're doing You're so very busy, and
Speaker 4: we appreciate you coming here. But this is the season
Speaker 4: in which people do go on vacation. People may get
Speaker 4: distracted by life and other things. You had graduations, you
Speaker 4: may have anything going on over the course of summer,
Speaker 4: and you may find that your exercise routine may be
Speaker 4: interrupted for an extended period of time.
Speaker 5: True most people, unless of course, you work in exercise
Speaker 5: like me, But for the average person with a lot
Speaker 5: of things going on that can definitely become distracted. A
Speaker 5: week can turn into a month off of exercise real quick.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: And beyond that, you have those who may have been
Speaker 4: away even longer, and I in my life, I've learned
Speaker 4: that the longer you stay away, the more difficult it
Speaker 4: is to get back. Just taking those first steps back,
Speaker 4: what do you recommend and as far as the mental
Speaker 4: as well as the physical preparation to push through?
Speaker 5: Oh, I love that you asked about the mental piece too.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing. Yesterday I went to an event. It
Speaker 5: was a PRESP Award panel discussion, and they talked about rituals.
Speaker 5: What rituals do you have before you start your day?
Speaker 5: In other words, do you go get up, pray, meditate, eat,
Speaker 5: drink coffee. Whatever those rituals are, they should set the
Speaker 5: tone for the day. And it got me to thinking
Speaker 5: about this exact question. What do we do when it's
Speaker 5: time to restart the workout journey? What rituals put us
Speaker 5: back in to the mode where we know it's time
Speaker 5: to get back in the gym or into the I mean,
Speaker 5: any kind of peloton whatever it is that you do
Speaker 5: for your workouts, walking outside. But what about you, mo
Speaker 5: What type of rituals help you lock back in.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I have a a ritual.
Speaker 4: It's almost like I have to just grit my teeth
Speaker 4: and do it, and it sucks for the first couple
Speaker 4: of days. It does because my body is not where
Speaker 4: it was. My stamina is not where it was, my
Speaker 4: flexibility is not where it was, conditioning is not where
Speaker 4: it was. And then if I can get through the
Speaker 4: first week, then I'm okay. But I gone through it
Speaker 4: enough times to know that I have to get through
Speaker 4: the first week.
Speaker 5: Oh, in that first week of soreness is a beast.
Speaker 5: When your wife came to see me, she took my
Speaker 5: plates class and right after that, by the way, it's
Speaker 5: their anniversary. You guys so happy. So she came take
Speaker 5: plates and then right after that she came in did
Speaker 5: the outdoor workout, and I thought about your wife after that, like,
Speaker 5: I hope her body is okay.
Speaker 3: Oh she was.
Speaker 4: She was feeling it and she was sore and she
Speaker 4: was taking it out on me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Poor you Now listen so insincere, I will say, as
Speaker 5: a wife, I know husbands, you guys are well cared
Speaker 5: for in most cases. I'll just put it like that
Speaker 5: and I'll leave it alone. However, I will say this,
Speaker 5: when you get back into your workout journey, there's a
Speaker 5: couple things that you can do to alleviate some of
Speaker 5: that first week's soreness. Okay, okay, So the first one
Speaker 5: is instead of taking a scalding hot shower after your
Speaker 5: workouts or the next day or two after, stick with
Speaker 5: a lukewarm shower or even a cool shower. Because the
Speaker 5: heat actually expands the muscles. It doesn't do what you
Speaker 5: think it's going to do, which is alleviate the sorn.
Speaker 4: Is one thing that I've learned, and I don't know
Speaker 4: if you use one as well. I have a hand
Speaker 4: massage or a gun style, and it has changed my life.
Speaker 4: I used to use even like a bread roller and
Speaker 4: just need get it out. Yeah, knead it out. It's
Speaker 4: like I didn't know it could it could. It's it's
Speaker 4: life changing actually, especially the soreness.
Speaker 5: So at the gym that I work out, we actually
Speaker 5: have those for the trainers to use on their clients.
Speaker 5: So there's a whole row of them. They can pull
Speaker 5: them out and use them for the people who are
Speaker 5: experiencing an intense amount of soreness. It's an excellent recovery tool.
Speaker 5: There's also ways that you can alleviate being so sore,
Speaker 5: and one of those ways is don't overdo it. The
Speaker 5: first couple of days.
Speaker 4: That's easier said and done, because you always want to
Speaker 4: go back where you remember got your work.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And something else that I've learned and I swear by
Speaker 4: is stretching every single day. Stretching even after you work out,
Speaker 4: so your your muscles don't just retract and constrict. You know,
Speaker 4: those are the things which have helped me in my
Speaker 4: old age.
Speaker 5: Old age.
Speaker 3: You admit to it, Oh, I admit to it. Okay,
Speaker 3: I can't lie about it.
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing. Even if you're on a break
Speaker 5: from your workouts, even and if you are dealing with
Speaker 5: graduation and vacation on all these different seasons that prevent
Speaker 5: you from getting to the gym, incorporating some kind of
Speaker 5: a stretch into your life both morning and night is
Speaker 5: going to prep you for when you do get ready
Speaker 5: to restart that fitness journey. So I would say flexibility
Speaker 5: is a non negotiable as we get older. But even
Speaker 5: for people who are younger. You might remember when you
Speaker 5: were I don't know, in high school, you were probably
Speaker 5: more flexible than you are today. So if you would
Speaker 5: have just taken every single day to just do some
Speaker 5: slight stretches by the time you get to be fifty,
Speaker 5: you're still somewhat flexible.
Speaker 3: But a lot of people don't do that, haven't done it.
Speaker 4: And I know if not for martial arts, I wouldn't
Speaker 4: have done it because martial arts were stretching all the time.
Speaker 4: That's just function of it. But a lot of people
Speaker 4: have not employed stretching. Before we go to break, what
Speaker 4: would you recommend to him or her or them as
Speaker 4: far as to gently start that portion of their journey.
Speaker 5: The first thing I recommend is get comfortable being on
Speaker 5: the floor. Preach that's a huge part of flexibility, as
Speaker 5: being able to get down and up off the floor.
Speaker 5: Put a mat on the floor wherever you find yourself
Speaker 5: starting your day and ending your day, could be your
Speaker 5: bedroom or living room. Put a mat there, get used
Speaker 5: to being down there, and then start the flexibility journey.
Speaker 4: Clauding Cooper, Well, this Wednesday, we'll have more with Clauding
Speaker 4: Cooper in just a moment when we come back. You
Speaker 4: might have seen some of the video we've had Daniel
Speaker 4: put up some of the video of the free community
Speaker 4: workouts that she has going on all through summer, and
Speaker 4: if you would liked the opportunity for Clauding Cooper to
Speaker 4: kill you.
Speaker 3: One of her workouts will tell you about how in just.

Speaker 4: Respect to Mom's Moe's mom for keeping it real and
Speaker 4: who will cuss you out? If you didn't hear earlier
Speaker 4: in the show, was talking about how profane my mother is.
Speaker 4: And she's listening right now, so she's probably applauding and
Speaker 4: cussing up a storm as I say this, But yes,
Speaker 4: she will outcuss anyone you know, including you, Claudine, including
Speaker 4: my wife La Muhir, including anyone you know. There's no
Speaker 4: one who can outcuss her, And so people want her
Speaker 4: to come on the show so they can prove me right,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, but thank you very much, pH Survivor.
Speaker 5: It's Cassine aloud on the radio.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: There are well, there are like seven words. You can't
Speaker 4: say a dirty word. Yeah that George Carlin will let
Speaker 4: you know. There are words like I can say. I
Speaker 4: can say ass, but I can't talk about what it does.
Speaker 4: Ah okay, Like you can be pissed off, but I
Speaker 4: can't got it opposite.
Speaker 3: Things like that.
Speaker 4: You know they're things and you know the sec you're
Speaker 4: not supposed to be gratuitous. I can't do it every
Speaker 4: single segment, but you know, I'd like to push the
Speaker 4: boundaries and mark He'll say something which will go right
Speaker 4: up to the line.
Speaker 3: Every now might it's your tongue.
Speaker 5: These guys here, they will all push it to the line.
Speaker 5: That's what I do know me personally, I just defer
Speaker 5: to your mom. If she's Queen Cusser, she can.
Speaker 3: Did you get a chance to meet her when you
Speaker 3: came out the house.
Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't get a chance to meet her.
Speaker 5: When was she was?
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was in the kitchen. She was sitting next
Speaker 4: to the wall away from the kitchen.
Speaker 5: Was she one of the judges for the dessert cont No.
Speaker 4: She was not, Thank goodness, No she was not. But
Speaker 4: she did feed me all the desserts. Yes she did.
Speaker 5: She was very kind those desserts. I'm telling you chef's kiss.
Speaker 3: And now we're working off those desserts. Basically.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the plan.
Speaker 4: Your free community workouts each Saturday at the Hollywood Retail
Speaker 4: District or have that.
Speaker 5: Right, Hollywood Park Retail District in Inglewood, California on the
Speaker 5: SOFI Stadium campus. Best way to get there is to
Speaker 5: use Prairie and Century find the parking. Your parking is validated,
Speaker 5: The workout is free, and everybody who comes is very cool.
Speaker 5: No judgment, all shapes, all sizes, all levels, all ages.
Speaker 4: Yeh, yeah, absolutely you will see someone who either looks
Speaker 4: like you or who you're aspiring to be.
Speaker 3: Put it that way.
Speaker 4: And for those who have not been a part of
Speaker 4: the free community workouts, what are some of the things
Speaker 4: that you will put have people do or how you
Speaker 4: put them through their pace?
Speaker 5: Oh, you know, we just do like a little walk
Speaker 5: or a jog. So I always try to modify the
Speaker 5: workouts to meet people where they are. Everyone is at
Speaker 5: a different place in their fitness journey. So I wouldn't
Speaker 5: expect you to be able to do what a ten
Speaker 5: year old child can do. So a lot of times
Speaker 5: what I'll say is like to the younger kids, I'll say, Okay,
Speaker 5: you guys, run as fast as you can. Well, obviously,
Speaker 5: i'm fifty, I'm not going to run as fast as
Speaker 5: a ten year old. But I can jog or I
Speaker 5: can walk, and then we do things like squats and
Speaker 5: jumping jacks, all modified as needed. So really, body weight
Speaker 5: conditioning is my specialty. I've been working a lot in
Speaker 5: the plate space lately, which also incorporates a lot of
Speaker 5: body weight work as well.
Speaker 4: And if you're looking at the video, that doesn't even
Speaker 4: give it real justice. There are easily a good hundred
Speaker 4: people out there most Saturdays.
Speaker 5: And even more so now because we're wrapping up a
Speaker 5: summer series, which means that there's a block of classes
Speaker 5: that are held during the summer, and then we take
Speaker 5: a break and then we do a block of classes
Speaker 5: that are held in the fall. So if you want
Speaker 5: to come, the best time to come is between now
Speaker 5: and the end of July. There's going to be a
Speaker 5: big splash on July twenty sixth, which is Saturday, We're
Speaker 5: going to have some events, some free stuff, and that
Speaker 5: would be a great day for everybody to pull up.
Speaker 5: And it runs how long, it's only about forty five minutes.
Speaker 5: We use about fifteen minutes to socialize. Maybe go over
Speaker 5: to the farmer's market, check out the gym for people
Speaker 5: who have never been to that area. Inglewood has really
Speaker 5: developed and grown over the last let's say, what about
Speaker 5: five years.
Speaker 1: Or so.
Speaker 3: Very quickly.
Speaker 4: How can people get in touch with you and see
Speaker 4: more of what you're doing, be a part of what
Speaker 4: you're doing.
Speaker 5: Well. I'm always happy to respond to messages, but it's
Speaker 5: gotten to the point where I've gotten some crazy, kooky messages.
Speaker 5: So no, I don't know. I'm not sure what's going on.
Speaker 3: But your famous. Now I'm saying that. Look, I understand.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I never really wanted to be famous, mo. I just
Speaker 5: want to teach my workouts, my my own business, go
Speaker 5: raise my children, be married to my husband. You know,
Speaker 5: live a very simple life. But here I am on
Speaker 5: the show with you.
Speaker 4: You are a person of faith as I am, and
Speaker 4: sometimes sometimes what is for you is bigger than what
Speaker 4: you might have envision for yourself.
Speaker 5: And that is indeed a word and a sermon tonight,
Speaker 5: because I definitely did not envision half of what's going
Speaker 5: on in my life, and I'm very thankful. I'm very grateful.
Speaker 5: But you ask how people can reach me. My website
Speaker 5: is Claudinecooper dot com. I do respond to messages, but
Speaker 5: the ones that seem sane, I just.
Speaker 3: Tell them, you know, don't be an ass, you know,
Speaker 3: be respectful. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I always say, address me as you would if we
Speaker 4: were on the street. And if you don't have that
Speaker 4: modicum of respect, just put delete, don't even send a message.
Speaker 5: Something about that keyboard makes people very courageous.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and I'm not exactly sure why.
Speaker 5: Something we can explore next week.
Speaker 3: But you're saying. As far as contacting you, they can.
Speaker 5: Go to Claudinecooper dot com. There's a little message bar
Speaker 5: in there. You try to make it simple and everything everything.
Speaker 4: It's great seeing you has been more than a month,
Speaker 4: and hopefully it won't be a month until we see
Speaker 4: you again.
Speaker 5: I hope it won't. Plan to come back next Wednesday.
