Health Neighborhood Festival in Los Angeles!

Last week I was fortunate enough to make it to the 4th annual Healthy Neighborhood Festival held at the California Endowment’s Center for Healthy Communities near Chinatown in Los Angeles. It was a block party for downtown Los Angeles residents that offered fun ways to get fit and lead a healthy lifestyle. All activities were free and included hoola-hooping (a serious workout that I highly recommend), dancing, rock climbing, making fresh salads and health screenings for families.

It was great to see all of the kids enjoying their salads and fresh fruit; no one was asking for chips or candy. They were running around from one activity to the next with big smiles on their faces. Check out the video to learn more about the event and see some kids learning a new dance…

    This was really cool.
    I did not know that they had eventslike these to try to make people healthier.
    I really liked the fruit players!

    I'm dying of cute overload. Awesome! And speaking of hula hoops, I totally need to get another one (I had to give mine away a couple moves ago... yes, I was a college student who owned a hula hoop). I don't mean to brag, but I could totally give Michelle Obama a run for her money.
