Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's well on this Wednesday on Later with Mo Kelly,
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app Earlier in the show,
Speaker 2: when I was previewing this segment with Claudine Cooper, we
Speaker 2: were talking about getting a colonoscopy, very important for men especially,
Speaker 2: and I was having some fun with Mark Ronner. But
Speaker 2: I had come across this article earlier today saying that
Speaker 2: exercise specifically helps colon cancer survivors live longer.
Speaker 3: Off the top of my head, Claudie, first, good evening.
Speaker 3: Off the top of my head.
Speaker 2: I can assume that exercise usually is recommended for all
Speaker 2: sorts of people, for any sorts of reasons, But when
Speaker 2: I think about colon cancer survivors, it makes it seem
Speaker 2: just a little bit.
Speaker 3: Different, if only because.
Speaker 2: We're inclined to believe that after surgery you probably would
Speaker 2: be less inclined to exercise, to do less to slowly recuperate.
Speaker 2: But they're basically saying no, no, no, no, start moving.
Speaker 4: Body of your body.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: It's great to be here as always, Mo, but I
Speaker 4: do feel like physical activity is one of the ways
Speaker 4: that we can heal our bodies. And I've never had
Speaker 4: colon cancer, although I do know people who have, and
Speaker 4: I do feel like their healing journey can be helped
Speaker 4: by exercise as one of the modalities of healing. And
Speaker 4: it's it's a lot of things. It's what we eat,
Speaker 4: it's how much sleep we're getting, it's how much movement
Speaker 4: we're getting. That's going to improve our healing time over
Speaker 4: anything like just use pregnancy as an example. As you know,
Speaker 4: I had three children back to back five years. I
Speaker 4: knocked it out and was done right. You talk about
Speaker 4: it like you were adding onto your house or something.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was a mission. It was a real mission.
Speaker 1: I had to.
Speaker 2: I had to.
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is, even after childbirth, they say, listen,
Speaker 4: give your body about four to six weeks to rest
Speaker 4: after you've delivered a baby naturally. And I've maybe lasted
Speaker 4: two weeks without some kind of movement. And I will
Speaker 4: tell you that I believe moving is what helped me
Speaker 4: heal faster.
Speaker 3: Going back to the story.
Speaker 2: In these trials, nearly twenty nine hundred participants reported their
Speaker 2: levels of physical activity, which researchers translated into metabolic equivalents
Speaker 2: or met hours per week. Results showed that participants who
Speaker 2: got eighteen or more met hours of exercise per week
Speaker 2: had an overall three year survival rate three percent higher
Speaker 2: than the general population.
Speaker 4: And they're saying general population, they're not saying of people
Speaker 4: who have beat can answer right. They're saying, these are
Speaker 4: people who are living longer than even a per person
Speaker 4: who's never had cancer.
Speaker 3: So win in doubt, keep on moving.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm always going to say that you know that, mo.
Speaker 4: I really feel strongly that if you move before the diagnosis,
Speaker 4: you move throughout your process of healing from whatever cancer
Speaker 4: or chronic illness. I do feel like your healing journey
Speaker 4: on the back end is going to be shorter in
Speaker 4: time and you may have more life. But I'm not God,
Speaker 4: so I can't really say who's going to have more life?
Speaker 4: But you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Look, I always have said controlled that which you can control,
Speaker 2: and if you can move, then move your body because
Speaker 2: that much you can control.
Speaker 4: Well, here's the question. If we can control it, then
Speaker 4: why are more people moving?
Speaker 3: Because this is just me.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think people take that movement for granted. I
Speaker 2: think that people are inclined to believe that it will
Speaker 2: always be there for them if and when they need
Speaker 2: it or want it, and it can be taken away
Speaker 2: immediately or also as we age, we overestimate how much
Speaker 2: movement ability we have and don't use it effectively consistently
Speaker 2: to get the most benefit from it.
Speaker 3: When was the last time?
Speaker 2: Some people I talked to my friends, I just asked,
Speaker 2: when's the last time you ran anywhere?
Speaker 4: Well, they said, nobody stole something from me? So what
Speaker 4: would I be running from? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: No, I say that in jest obviously, But as we
Speaker 4: get older, we walk more and we run less. You
Speaker 4: don't really want to potentially injure yourself as you start
Speaker 4: to get older, so you want to be very measured
Speaker 4: in your movement. What can I do?
Speaker 3: What is safe?
Speaker 4: And what will I not pull a hamstring on?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: But there is something to be said for intentionality. And
Speaker 2: you may not be running, but there is such a
Speaker 2: thing as exerting oneself moving to at least push your
Speaker 2: body in a cardio sense.
Speaker 4: To what your article was saying, eighteen met hours, that
Speaker 4: doesn't mean it was eighteen It doesn't translate to eighteen
Speaker 4: hours of movement in fact, it's not until you've hit
Speaker 4: a certain metabolic rate that they start to calculate those hours,
Speaker 4: which means the people who are living three percent longer
Speaker 4: than the average people are not just colon cancer survivors.
Speaker 4: They're coaling cancer athletes because they're moving their body to
Speaker 4: hit this metabolic rate. What does that entail. They're probably
Speaker 4: doing some kind of high intensity activity. Could be running,
Speaker 4: could be any kind of high intensity interval training. But
Speaker 4: I did want to get back to what you were
Speaker 4: saying about taking it for granted that you can move. So,
Speaker 4: you know, I teach fitness classes throughout the week all
Speaker 4: over LA, but mainly at Iconics Fitness in Inglewood. So
Speaker 4: I taught a six thirty pm strength training class last
Speaker 4: week and a guy rolls in in his wheelchair, and
Speaker 4: I want to tell you he inspired everyone in that
Speaker 4: room to push harder, to lift more, to work at
Speaker 4: their movement because they looked at him and he was pushing,
Speaker 4: inspiring all of us. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you, are you ever surprised anymore?
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't say that's surprised, but maybe that's just
Speaker 2: inspired and encouraged.
Speaker 4: Oh he's not my first person who came in in
Speaker 4: a chair. So this has been happening probably for the
Speaker 4: last twenty years. I've had I alter the workout to
Speaker 4: meet them where they are and also meet the people
Speaker 4: who also can do both upper and lower bodywork.
Speaker 2: I started the show tonight talking about the wonder of
Speaker 2: living in southern California and talking about things we take
Speaker 2: for granted. We kind of take the weather for granted,
Speaker 2: and I was saying, it was like seventy five degrees
Speaker 2: out today, It's going to be eighty degrees tomorrow.
Speaker 3: There's no other place I would rather live.
Speaker 2: I understand why it's so expensive to live here, because
Speaker 2: the weather alone makes it worth putting up with a
Speaker 2: lot of other stuff we normally wouldn't because of that weather.
Speaker 2: I say all that to say, does that now shift
Speaker 2: What is happening in the gyms now that it's getting warmer.
Speaker 4: It's been pretty crowded. Still.
Speaker 3: Is this like getting their summer bodies ready or something?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just gonna say, I'm fingers crossed hoping
Speaker 4: that the people who committed their life to fitness this
Speaker 4: year in twenty twenty five at the new year, are
Speaker 4: still going strong mo so.
Speaker 3: They haven't you haven't had the precipitous fall off.
Speaker 4: I haven't had the fall off this year.
Speaker 2: Really, Nope, let's talk more about that when we come back. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm joined in the studio by Claudine Cooper. Go to
Speaker 2: Claudinecooper dot com right now during the break so you
Speaker 2: can find out more about this.
Speaker 3: Legendary fitness personality. I'm just putting out there claiming it
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 2: She's usually with us here every single week, and we
Speaker 2: love having her, and I don't know how much longer
Speaker 2: we'll have her.
Speaker 3: She's turning into a star row. Oh no, it turns
Speaker 3: a star.
Speaker 2: So we're going to see how long we can keep
Speaker 2: her around here. It's Later with both Kelly Word Word.
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And Claudine Cooper. You can see more at Claudinecooper dot com.
Speaker 2: She continues to join me in the studio, and I'm
Speaker 2: not going to publicize another radio station, but I will
Speaker 2: say that the growth of your community workouts, your free
Speaker 2: community workouts, is now extending beyond KFI and the community
Speaker 2: at large.
Speaker 3: Is taking notice.
Speaker 2: I think you should be proud of what you have
Speaker 2: been doing and be aware that your reach has been growing.
Speaker 3: And I'm happy for you and proud of you.
Speaker 2: Now that the free community workouts are back as of
Speaker 2: this weekend, what should people expect.
Speaker 4: Well, it's the same as it always has been. It's
Speaker 4: nine am on Saturdays. It's in the Hollywood Park retail district,
Speaker 4: which is adjacent to Sofi Stadium. It's an outdoor workout.
Speaker 4: There's no equipment needed, no RSVP needed. It's literally just
Speaker 4: pull up, move your body, meet some really cool people
Speaker 4: and go to the farmer's market afterwards.
Speaker 2: I don't know, well you forgot You better be ready
Speaker 2: to work out because you want to put them through
Speaker 2: their paces.
Speaker 4: I will, but you know, I don't want to scare people.
Speaker 4: I want people to know that I will give them
Speaker 4: a workout that can be done at home or anywhere
Speaker 4: for that matter, a body weight workout. But when people say, oh,
Speaker 4: she's going to put you through a workout, you know
Speaker 4: that becomes a little barrier. People. I'm not ready yet.
Speaker 4: I need to think. I need to start somewhere and
Speaker 4: do some walking first. But the truth is you could
Speaker 4: come and you would be welcomed and you could move
Speaker 4: at your own pace.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it your own pace. But for those who think
Speaker 3: that they can.
Speaker 4: Keep up with the pace mode clouding, okay, just tell
Speaker 4: on yourself there doing sprints and everything else. No, mo,
Speaker 4: you you did great.
Speaker 2: Look I realized I had to slow down at the
Speaker 2: very beginning because I was spending too much energy.
Speaker 3: Early on, I said, I know, we got another forty
Speaker 3: five minutes to go.
Speaker 4: Came out the gate just yeah.
Speaker 2: Now it's when you started doing those like deep knee
Speaker 2: bins and you know, yeah, we definitely yeah.
Speaker 4: We do our stretches, we do our squads. We you know,
Speaker 4: we stay upright, so nobody needs a mat. It's not
Speaker 4: like we're going down on the floor.
Speaker 1: But I do.
Speaker 4: I do feel like the community has been craving this,
Speaker 4: and not just because they want an outdoor workout option,
Speaker 4: but there is so much positivity exchanged in these workouts,
Speaker 4: and right now I just feel like people need it.
Speaker 2: I appreciate any outdoor workout I think it is. It's
Speaker 2: much more enjoyable. I love the outdoor air. But I
Speaker 2: know that there might be a possibility of rain this weekend.
Speaker 2: As what I'm hearing how does that impact you? What
Speaker 2: is is it an alternate location if it's raining, Yeah.
Speaker 4: We figure it out like it's one of those things
Speaker 4: where we just say rain or shine and then you
Speaker 4: know what usually happens is that for some reason, and
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say that, you know, there's a
Speaker 4: divine order in place, but it just stops raining for
Speaker 4: one hour so we.
Speaker 3: Could do our workout, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: I remember the last time I came to your workout,
Speaker 2: you gave us a tour of the surrounding areas, surrounding
Speaker 2: businesses which are had just opened or on the way
Speaker 2: to being open. And I saw a picture of you
Speaker 2: one night, you and your husband at Cosm. Yes, and
Speaker 2: that has been receiving a lot of attention. And I'm
Speaker 2: going to just take us off the beaten path for
Speaker 2: a moment. What was your review of Cosmic? If you
Speaker 2: don't know, it is an entertainment facility, an immersive experience
Speaker 2: where you can watch sporting events. Since we're talking about
Speaker 2: moving our body, we could watch sporting events and it
Speaker 2: makes you feel like you're right there.
Speaker 4: Well, you know that's right across the street from my job,
Speaker 4: So it's it's on topics still. You know, we the
Speaker 4: first time I went, I didn't go with my husband.
Speaker 4: I had to go survey the scene, you know, so
Speaker 4: I could report back and bring in with me the
Speaker 4: next time. But I walked from work and I just
Speaker 4: went over there to see what was going on. And
Speaker 4: it was when it had initially opened, and they were
Speaker 4: saying that they were holding a documentary on the immersive theater.
Speaker 4: So I said, oh, great, can can we just come in?
Speaker 4: And they're like, well, no, it's a ticketed event, and
Speaker 4: you know, and then a couple of my girlfriends were
Speaker 4: going to meet me and they said, actually, you guys
Speaker 4: can come in. I don't know, you know, we just
Speaker 4: got to watch the documentary in the immersive theater on
Speaker 4: the first week they open. Not really sure how that
Speaker 4: happened for us, but I'm happy it did.
Speaker 3: You talked to you allia.
Speaker 4: So it was so interesting. Mo. We were immersed in
Speaker 4: this documentary about underwater life by Nancy Cahill I believe
Speaker 4: is the artist's name, and it was so incredible. You
Speaker 4: felt like you were deep sea diving. But I do
Speaker 4: got to tell you one thing. I am a person
Speaker 4: who gets motion sickness, so you're so deep into it
Speaker 4: that if you have any kind of vertigo or any
Speaker 4: disruption in your equilibrium, it's not for you.
Speaker 3: I had to take a stat So you're not one
Speaker 3: to go on a cruise.
Speaker 4: Huh No, I'm not one to go on a cruise.
Speaker 4: No boats, no long rides. I can't do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I hear all these great things about cosm, and
Speaker 3: I see all the great things about how that particular
Speaker 3: entertainment district has been grown by leaps and bounds, saying
Speaker 3: nothing of the endto a dome, saying nothing of so
Speaker 3: far which was already there, just everything around it.
Speaker 4: And now there's this thing called the cine Vita, which
Speaker 4: is a temporary installment where they're doing a full performance
Speaker 4: of pulp fiction. And it's just like a play with
Speaker 4: music and actors, and they're putting it on as you
Speaker 4: eat dinner.
Speaker 3: So how do they do the ballgag scene?
Speaker 4: I didn't go see that. I'll report back.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to know. I mean, are they are they?
Speaker 2: Are they reciting execue excuse me, Ezekiel twenty five to
Speaker 2: forty cent?
Speaker 1: They are?
Speaker 3: Now? I just wonder, you know who's doing Sam Jackson's part? Well?
Speaker 4: We would have to go check it out first and
Speaker 4: then see if it mirrors the movie.
Speaker 2: Very quickly, I know someone has been incentivized and inspired
Speaker 2: to come work out with you for your free community
Speaker 2: workout this Saturday at nine a m.
Speaker 3: How can they go about doing that?
Speaker 4: All they have to do is go to the Hollywood
Speaker 4: Park Retail District, enter into the parking garage on ninety
Speaker 4: seventh and Prairie, get a ticket. We validate the ticket
Speaker 4: for two point five hours, and there's also a farmer's
Speaker 4: market adjacent. So you have a workout, you have a
Speaker 4: farmer's market, you have free parking. What else do you need?
Speaker 3: Fifty five other people to work out with?
Speaker 4: And that's about how many? Maybe maybe more, maybe more
Speaker 4: it's the first time out. Yeah, so we'll see Clauding.
Speaker 4: It's always great to see you very quickly. How can
Speaker 4: people find you other than Claudincooper dot com. Well, I
Speaker 4: do participate in social media. I just kind of been
Speaker 4: keeping up with my threads account, but I'm on Instagram
Speaker 4: and threads, TikTok and Facebook, so I'd love to connect.
Speaker 3: Clauding is always great to see you.
Speaker 2: Hopefully we get to see you next week, depending on
Speaker 2: your very very busy schedule.
Speaker 4: I plan to be here.
Speaker 3: You teach forty five fifty seven classes, like it.
Speaker 4: It feels like it, But hopefully I'm going to dial
Speaker 4: back the teaching because it's hard on my body at
Speaker 4: this age. You know.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know, because I'm much younger than you.
Speaker 4: That's a good joke, real funny.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, Waitte, you don't need to turn onto your
Speaker 2: microphone to laugh, all right, you don't need to pile on.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of you and your basketball. Referring this weekend, Yes,
Speaker 2: it was a lot. I did too much this weekend,
Speaker 2: way too much. Body was hurting, Oh, it was hurting.
Speaker 3: I was standing up.
Speaker 2: I turned my desk into a standing desk where I
Speaker 2: lifted up the monitor and I put the keyboard on
Speaker 2: the top of a box of copy paper so I
Speaker 2: could stand up because my hips were hurting too much.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to sit down. Oh yeah, I thought
Speaker 3: he was joking and yeah serious, I was like, how
Speaker 3: is his computer? Oh the box is there?
Speaker 4: Yeah, before we go, let's just say this, anyone who's
Speaker 4: experiencing discomforter pain, sitting down tends to exacerbate that pain.
Speaker 4: That's why Moe was standing, and.
Speaker 3: That's why I have a standing desk at home now.
Speaker 4: Better for your body.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we'll see you soon.
Speaker 4: I can't wait.
