First and most importantly: your beauty as a person comes from what's in your mind and how you treat other people; it's not the way you look.
The CoachellaBod is about more than just vanity and sex appeal. It's about having a body that allows you be as comfortable as possible for our favorite weekend. Most importantly, it's about not letting your body hold you back during the weekend.
I've been blessed with youth and good health, such that for years now I have spent DOZENS of hours during Coachella on my feet, dancing, and packing my days with as much good music and experiences as I possibly could. But youth is fleeting, and good health does not just happen as a matter of course, you have to do the right things to be healty.
My body has not failed me at Coachella yet, but over the last few years I have not been particularly kind to it. That changes now!
Every Saturday, I'm going post this thread as a check-in, for myself and hopefully for others as well. I want to reflect on what we did for our body this past week, and make a commitment to what we're going to accomplish in the week to come. I hope you'll join me!
Questions:
• What did you accomplish that you're proud of?
• Did you fall short of something that you wish you'd done?
• What do you have planned for yourself this coming week?

Can't believe how close we are! I hope that even if you haven't really been on a CoachellaBod journey that you'll take this as a queue to start getting ready physically. Doing some stretching and going for short walks can have a big impact on how your body holds up in just a few weeks.
Just go for a walk! It's so simple but can make a big difference.

It's here!
How did CoachellaBod 2019 go for you? What were your goals, and did you accomplish them? How do you feel phsycially, and how are you feeling about yourself?
If you haven't done anything for your body before this moment, that's okay, you have a few days to prep yourself!
I recommend you hydrate yourself thoroughly starting today. You should be drinking a couple of litres of water every day starting now, and a couple of short walks will do you a world of good.

Gang, we're so close! Your body needs to carry you through the weekend, and anything you can do starting right now will pay dividends in less than 2 weeks.
Even if you haven't been sculpting your body into an Adonis for weeks and months, now's the time to take a few small actions and forego a few indulgences so you can go all out when the party starts.
Make a promise to yourself and to us that you're going to do something to be more phsycially prepared!
For those of you who have embarked on a CoachellaBod journey, how's it going? What's your plan to finish these last 11-12 days before you arrive in Indio?

It's day 2 of Couchella, with yesterday's stream featuring a packed-to-the-gills Arcade Fire spectacular in the Mojave, several surprise additions (including The Avalanches), and at least six showings of the Still Woozy interview, which may well take home a Pulitzer for journalism. We also saw the EDM duo Lost Kings blast out of the gates for the early lead in the 2022 Basic Bitch Cheese EDM Checklist Championship, despite only 15 minutes of actual screen time. How will Saturday possibly top that?
Today includes an incredible variety of music, from Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish, to Danny Elfman and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, with last night's hotly anticipated King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard set airing tonight on Channel 3.

Hi everyone again,
Here is the top 5 songs of every artist performing on Saturday. Please, note that Emo Nite is going to have a variety of songs playing and I could not find any songs for Layla Benitez. Enjoy!
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6mdAOFWRZcugKe5tlFqxhg?si=f5f3fa2c5df74587
Hey Gang,
Not gonna lie, the last couple weeks have been... different.
Every day there are new developments, every day certain scary numbers go up, every day it feels like things are getting a little more... crazy.
Obviously this is a Coachella subreddit, but I have to say, what's going on in the world is BIGGER than Coachella. It may legitimately be one of the biggest, most culture-defining moments/periods in our lives.
Things are getting so tense online, like right here in /r/Coachella. A big problem is of course the parade of people who are coming to post here about a potential cancellation, and if you're one of those people, you should know, it REALLY comes across that a Coachella cancellation is something that you are desperate to be right about and rub in our faces. I think most of you don't have slightest understanding of why so many of us feel stressed, anxious, and upset by this possibility and want to deny it and want so badly for it not to happen. It's not because we're selfish. Well, we're a little selfish, and that's okay. I think the vast majority of our culture doesn't actually UNDERSTAND what motivates our passionate love of this event. Allow me a moment to explain it:
Coachella is easily my favorite time of every year. I've written paragraphs and paragraphs about it on this board over the years, so I'll try to be succinct:
Coachella isn't about a party, or instagram posts. It's about a FEELING - the feeling that for a couple of days, everything is okay in the world, in my world. I'm surrouunded by thousands of members of my generation, and we're all appreciating something that we all have in common: a love an appreciation for art in many forms: physical art installations, music and stage production, even the art of clothes and fashion. Art and creative expression are so essentially human, and we're so incredibly blessed that we get to experience one of the most spectacular events ever dedicated to the celebration of art, music most especially.
And as a consequence of that, Coachella plays a pivotal role in my personal well-being. I feel so close to and connected to thousands of like-minded individuals. We're not divided by trivial things like politics or geography, nobody is worried about superficial differences that we're born with like nationality or race, sex & gender, or our feelings about politics and government. For a brief moment in an otherwise chaotic year, we all gather together and just... be. It's ALL LOVE, and acceptance, and spending quality time with people we love and meeting kind strangers and building social bonds.
And, lately, I'm scared. I'm scared that this thing, what others would say is nothing more than an inconsequential PARTY, but which for me means so, so much more than that, is not going to happen.
But I have to look at a bigger picture here. Not being able to do my favorite thing is a bummer for me, but what makes me so upset and so scared and uneasy and tense and nervous is what it means in the rest of the world.
If Coachella doesn't happen, I'll be sad but I'll get over it. Once upon a time Coachella was metaphorical oasis in the desert of my life, where I could drink deeply and clean myself with refreshing water, and rest in the shade, and get back on the journey of my life recharged and emotionally cleansed. Things are better now, and I don't NEED Coachella to make the best of every day. If you're reading this and you've been dealing with stress and anxiety of not "GETTING TO GO TO COACHELLA", just konw that it'll be okay. You're a strong person and you don't need it, and if it doesn't happen this year, IT'LL BE BACK.
But, what scares me is what the state of the rest of the world is if Coachella has to be cancelled. I'm not here to fear-monger, because we've had plenty of guests in this subreddit disgustingly eager to stoke those flames, but I'm not going to sugar coat it. If Coachella gets cancelled, it's because it NEEDS to be cancelled, because the problem we're facing as a SPECIES is serious. I'm not concerned about myself personally; I'm young, I'm relatively healthy (even without having built my CoachellaBod into the adonis that I aspire to), and I'm nearly certain to survive and thrive after developing and then recovering from COVID-19. I'm concerned about all the other people in the world who aren't so lucky to have a 99.8% chance of survival that my profile supposedly has. I'm concerned about my parents and grandparents most of all.
So I guess my primary point is: I'm scared. And it's okay to be scared. But what is not okay is to PANIC, to let your fear start to dominate your every waking moment where you furiously read every scary piece of content about this invisible and seemingly-inevitable threat to our beloved music festival. Just like with the pursuit of the ideal CoachellaBod: all you can do is take it one day at a time, and do the little things that cumulatively make all of the difference.
CoachellaBod COVID-19 Edition tips and tricks:
Don't touch your face! This one is so difficult for me, but you have to make a conscious effort to not worry about the minor itch on your forward: IT WILL GO AWAY IN 10 SECONDS IF YOU JUST LET IT BE
Wash your hands as frequently as you can in public, and be mindful of touching surfaces that many people touch.
Limit your exposure to crowds
if you feel symptoms of a cold, STAY home if you can and see a doctor only if you really need it.
Whatever happens to Coachella 2020, the people who make the go/no-go call are more informed than you or I, and have bigger concerns over whether you really want to have a good time at Coachella. Trust that whatever decision is make, IT'S THE BEST, MOST WELL-INFORMED DECISION, and just try to make the best of it for your own sake.
Stay safe, stay healthy. Tell your friends and family you love them, and try to take care of each other. For the first time maybe ever, we can stop pointing fingers at each other and work together as a species to face something that's bigger than all of us and bigger than our differences.
I love all of you guys. I'm sick of being scared and anxious and upset and worried and stressed and powerless and feeling like the world is in chaos. There's a lot of uncertainty out there right now, but I'm certain about one thing, and that's that I want to live my life according to my unofficial motto for this subreddit:
Be Excellent To Each Other
- Shanahanigans
I had worked on a big complicated post, but I lost it and so I'm just gonna wing it
Do you wanna look your best for Coachella? Most importantly, do you wanna FEEL your best for Coachella?
Whether your motivation is to lose some weight, put on some muscle, show some abs, recover from an injury, or (most importantly, frankly) to develop the stamina to survive and thrive in our desert weekend marathon, I hope you'll participate.
Achieving your goals requires 2 things
clearly identifying, stating, and committing to what exactly your long-term goals are
identifying short-term objectives and making a plan to meet those objectives that get you a little closer to the end-goal
I think Sunday is the optimal day for this. For those of us who work a 9-5, Monday thru Friday is a real grind and you need to prepare for your week to be successful.
I wanna hear from you in this post.
what are your CoachellaBod goals between now and Coachella?
what are you going to do this week in pursuit of that goal?
And then I encourage you before this Sunday is over to start putting that plan into action:
go buy healthier food from the grocery store to meal prep
make sure your gym clothes are washed and packed, or lay out exercise clothes tonight to do something when you wake up Monday morning
Part of this process is about reflecting on progress, and being honest with yourself - and us! - when you fall short of that goal.
how did your body hold up last Coachella? Had you tried to build you CoachellaBod beforehand? What worked, and what didn't work?
13 weeks remain. You can do a LOT in 13 weeks. Looking forward to getting in shape for this Coachella, and hope you are too!

Hey Fam,
Sorry this post is so late. After the news about Kobe broke on Sunday this post was far from my thoughts and I've been in a funk ever since. I've never been particularly moved by the death of a public figure before but being from LA and given the extremely sad circumstances of his, and especially his daughter Gigi's, untimely passing, this one hit me hard. Sorry it's coming so late, but better late than never.
Kobe Bryant aka The Black Mamba trademarked a phrase that I think is especially relevant and important to this CoachellaBod series: The Mamba Mentality.
"To sum up what Mamba Mentality is, it means to be able to constantly try to be the best version of yourself," Bryant said.
"That is what the Mentality is," he added. "It's a constant quest to try to better today than you were yesterday."
A lot has been said and written about Kobe's greatness and his "legacy". I for one feel the greatest thing we can all do to honor him is to carry that mentality with us into our lives, whether it's in our careers, with our families, or taking care of our bodies.
And with that, let's lace em up and get on with the show.
