Earlier this week, I posted on Facebook a short highlight about Wilma Rudolph, an incredibly inspirational human being. If you don’t know much about her, here’s a little about this amazing woman: She was the 20th of 22 children, born in 1940 with polio and suffered from serious bouts of pneumonia and scarlet fever as […]
With the recent controversy about Dr. Oz, I felt the need to emphasize the fact that what we put into our bodies should be a matter we take seriously, especially when it comes to supplements. My purpose today is not to bash Dr. Oz. Rather, I want to help you be discerning when it comes […]
It’s that time of year again. Can you believe we have approached the half way point of 2014?! This past week, I shot a special video message for you talking about the importance of reflection on the first half of the year, examining where we are presently, and looking forward toward the second half of […]
You’d better sit down for this. Better yet, don’t. Why? Because we already sit way too much. We sit to commute. We sit at our computers at work. We sit at meetings. We even relax…by sitting. Even if you workout for an hour a day, that doesn’t counter the fact that Americans on average sit […]
After hearing such raving reviews about it, I decided to watch the documentary “Happy,” and I’m so glad I did. The movie talks about what really makes us happy as human beings. As a nation, we strive to be happy, but did you know that the US is the 23rd happiest country in the world? […]

This week, we lost a woman who will go down in history as one of the most influential people of all time. Best known for her writing, poetry, and activism, Maya Angelou was an exceptional human being. I’ve always been particularly in awe of her daily routine when I first learned of it awhile back. […]
Together, we spent all of April and even some of May concentrating on healthy eating because nutrition is one those areas that my clients have the most trouble in (with Exercise coming in at a close second). As I’ve said before, since I coach women in their 50’s, most of these ladies have been from […]
I have a bone to pick with “mini”-sized treats. You may be thinking, “But Kim, don’t you mean you have a bone to pick with the value super size meals?” Well, that’s a different story. Let me tell you why mini-sized “junk food” pushes my buttons. But first, let me set the stage by explaining […]
This past week, I spoke to about 50 employees of an engineering company that’s forming a new walking group. Since Americans sit for an average of 9.3 hours a day, it was great to see so many of these office workers wide-eyed and eager to make a healthy change in their life. Because YOU, like […]
