The week between Christmas and New Years I went to California to visit friends. They did have a small gym at the apartment complex, but since the weather was so nice out it was better to get exercise through walking (or pushing) around Los Angeles. We walked to many attractions because everything was a 10-15 minute walk from my friend’s apartment. There were also steep gradients to the sidewalks due to the California hills; I was able to get some endurance training in. We probably averaged walking about 2-3 miles a day (at least) with inclines.

Thankfully, the people I stayed with have a healthy lifestyle and didn’t mind walking around the city. This is great because we got to enjoy the weather and the sites. We went to the Hollywood walk of fame, West Hollywood, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, the Farmers Market/ and the Santa Monica Pier!
