#FitFriday – A Fun Night Out at Golf N’ Stuff

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Now, I know what you might be thinking: Mini golf is not really a sport, or even considerably physically challenging in any way. However, if you replace the classic date night of dinner followed by sitting in the movie theater for two hours (while possibly munching on buttered popcorn) with a night of walking around several pretty mini golf courses, chances are, you are saving some credit in your calorie bank.

Anyway, calories were the last thing on our minds when my better half and I decided to head out to Golf N’ Stuff in Norwalk last month for some fun rounds of mini golf. Okay, I admit, we even loaded up on tacos and nachos before we went. But back to the point: I challenge everyone to postpone their next couch potato weekend to Winter and grab a friend or date and hit up a mini golf course in their neighborhood!  Enjoy the fake, but nevertheless beautiful scenery and the warm late summer nights while you still can!

#FitFriday – The Men of Cashmere Hike Jefferson Stairs

Friday, August 26th, 2011

Not only women try to stay in shape. During the past few Mondays, the gentlemen of Cashmere Agency (and recently also Stampede‘s Power 106 legend Fuzzy Fantab) joined together to hike the Culver City stair ascension on Jefferson Boulevard to enjoy the view of Baldwin Hills’s Scenic Overlook.

Cashmere’s Anthony Kennedy describes his pleasure and pain during the experience:

“I went with the fellas (Seung, Ryan, Kelly, and Brandon) for the first Cashmere Jefferson stairs ascension on Monday, August 8th. I thought I would be the expert and show them the ropes, but everyone ended up beating ME to the top. Those first two rows of stairs are a workout, but felt good. The third row was killer as I had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath. The only thing that kept me going was Seung and Ryan at the top urging me on. That last row, ABSOLUTE MURDER. It never hurt so much to take a breath. Thanks to the  guys for encouraging me to keep going despite being on the verge of an exhaustive collapse. In the end, the view was all worth it.”
