Today is a day of JOY! ☺️🏃‍♀️⛰️☀️🌳🌻

The Vail 10k (6.2 miles) at 10k (10-12,000 ft elevation) kicked my SW Florida butt once again! The wildflowers, smell of the pines, the breathtaking views, the cool temps and sunshine, the elevation challenge…this runner felt like she was in HEAVEN! 😍

I am SO happy and grateful to be able to do what gives me JOY❣️

Colorado peeps might have me on the inclines but I kicked major butt on the downhill. Woo hoo‼️🔥

No matter what it is…Remember to keep doing what gives you joy. 🤩

Hugs.

Who enjoys eating these yummy fruits?”⁉️🙋‍♀️🙋

No one ever got fat from eating fruit! 🍒🍉🤣👍

Dowager’s Hump was a term used years ago (Jack LaLanne referred to it often) that referred to a curving of the spine that can result in an upper back that appears rounded or hunched.

The now appropriate medical term for this type of condition is KYPHOSIS. And it affects those of all ages!

Do you sit at the computer a lot and lean forward to look at the screen? Or slump in your chair? Are you always looking down at your phone? 📲

If so…try getting up every hour from your desk for 5 min and walk around, stretch and move! Squeeze your shoulder blades together a few times every hour. Do simple moves like chin tuck exercises! Perform pulling type exercises at home or the gym like TrX high rows, low rows, band pull aparts! My clients know I’m a stickler on posture and have them perform many of these exercises! Be mindful of your posture when sitting and throughout the day!

“Can you reverse or cure a dowager’s hump⁉️….depending on your age and the severity, you often can improve or reverse this problem. You can accomplish this by strengthening the upper back muscles; increasing tone helps pull up the shoulders and the head. Be mindful of your posture during the day!

Consistency and mindfulness is key! Mom was right when she kept reminding you to stand up tall! 😊✌️

Healthfully yours, Coach Kim

Do what gives you JoY!! 🥰 This morning’s 10k trail mountain run 🏃‍♀️ in Beaver Creek, CO is more challenging than any Florida flat road 1/2 marathon I’ve done! This ⛰️ bliss was what gave Coach Kim a bundle of JOY today!! That was some serious cardio and butt work! ❤️

This was my “heaven”….wildflowers, breathtaking views, the breeze, the up’s & down’s …and my hubby, as always for the last 20 years, waiting for me at the finish line! (Or did he just want the free 🍩 donuts! Lol)

I can’t get this smile off my face. ❤️😊
I also can’t wait to sit in a whirlpool bath. 🤣

Healthfully yours,
Coach Kim
