THE ESSENTIAL TECH KIT: FITNESS LIFESTYLE
“Consistency is the key” when trying to treat your body well, Coast says. He knows, having been a high school swimmer before lapsing into bad habits (and gaining around 45 pounds) while in college. For a while, he was checked out. Now he’s plugged in.
Smart tech from Verizon is with him nearly every step of the way. Coast has headphones on throughout the day—he shuffles through playlists (pop, indie, deep house, and chill wave are his favorite genres) to match his mood. The wireless Bose SoundSport Free earbuds are engineered to stay in place—and stay powerful— throughout your fitness routine.
Coast is in motion so often that it’s essential for him to keep his smartphone protected. Not long ago, he got a useful reminder. “A few weeks ago I was running on the Venice boardwalk and I tripped. My phone went flying and the entire screen smashed on the ground,” he recalls. “It's so important to have a LifeProof case, especially if you run outside.” The NËXT case in particular provides ultimate protection—and looks great too.
Coast is constantly trying to improve workout results, but admits he can have “a tough time keeping track. That's why a Fitbit is super handy, to know where you stand every day and over time,” he says.
One thing that keeps Coast going is his vision for how to maximize waking hours for well-being. “A perfect day would start with a seven-minute breathing practice, an hour surf session, followed by some time at the gym, a healthy plant-based lunch, a visit to the farmer’s market and dinner with friends outdoors,” he explains. Sound like California fantasy? Maybe a little. But especially on weekends, it’s his reality fairly often—with a little leg up courtesy of stylish tech from Verizon.
