Los Angeles City in California

Los Angeles, officially the City of Los Angeles and often known by its initials L.A., is the most populous city in California and the second most populous city in the United States, after New York. With an estimated population of four million, Los Angeles is the cultural, financial, and commercial center of Southern California. Nicknamed the "City of Angels" partly because of its name's Spanish meaning, Los Angeles is known for its Mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, Hollywood, and the entertainment industry, and sprawling metropolis.

Light runs one of the most popular online fitness instruction channels on YouTube, [2] [3] and her videos have been viewed over half a billion times. [4] Prior to starting her current YouTube channel, Light co-founded the fitness website and YouTube channel "BodyRock.tv" with then-husband Frederick Light. The couple split in 2011, [5] and divorced in 2013. [6] She described her porn experience as "an incredibly humiliating experience and terrible", [5] and said she felt lucky to have survived the experience, [7] and that "working on fitness helped me heal emotionally and rebuild my sense of self worth." [5]
