Staying healthy with an office job? Simple!

  Who doesn’t agree that it can be rather difficult to accommodate a healthy lifestyle while having an office job? Long periods of sitting with only minimal movement, strange eating habits, as well as a high level of stress to only name a few challenges that every employee comes across while working his/her desk job. Although this problem is well known, many people are not aware that a few easily implemented changes can help you stay fit and healthy. Our first suggestion is to eat breakfast (a coffee doesn’t count)! A wholesome breakfast can give you an incredible start into the day by providing necessary vitamins and minerals to your body, which increases happiness and energy levels and therefore boosts productivity. Moreover, it will help you prevent mid-day snacking when we get tired and throw healthy-eating resolutions out the door….

An amazing and unique way to explore Los Angeles by bike!

When you visit a new city, you want to make the most out of it. Experience every aspect of the new surroundings. But how can you do that in a place you have never been before? Usually without knowing anybody in the neighborhood? Sometimes the standard methods aren’t enough, and we advise maybe taking a hike, or using a bike to explore Los Angeles! Our first advice is to rent a bike. It is incredible how much your perspective of your environment changes while paddling through the streets, enjoying a nice workout. Traffic becomes secondary, nature and little details about houses are the new focus. Stop whenever you want, decide your own pace, and don’t be rushed or restricted by traffic. Our LA in a Day bike adventure combines those two aspects and many more! Start your ride in West Hollywood, where rock & roll meets fashion,…
