Transformative Fitness Journeys with Kiki Hurwitt

In this episode, Kiki Hurwitt shares her inspiring fitness and wellness journey, transitioning from pre-diabetic health concerns to a vibrant and healthy lifestyle. Initially joining Instagram by accident and growing to nearly 46,000 followers, Kiki found a supportive community and a platform to share her progress and challenges. Despite losing followers occasionally, she emphasizes the quality of connections over numbers. Kiki traces her motivation for a healthier lifestyle back to a concerning physical exam in 2020, where she discovered she was pre-diabetic and at risk of following in her diabetic parents' footsteps. With help from her stepdaughter, an online fitness coach, she embarked on a transformative journey that included weight lifting, macro tracking, and building a supportive community through programs like 'TrainWithJoan.' Kiki's journey not only improved her physical health but also significantly benefited her mental health, helping manage her clinical depression. Inspired by her process, her husband and children have also embraced healthier lifestyles, collectively losing over 100 pounds. Kiki now coaches other women, focusing on mindset training and sustainable health habits. She encourages starting small, aiming for consistency over perfection, and finding a support system to navigate the challenges of a health transformation. Kiki's Instagram, @theLikaViking (Lykke meaning 'joyful' in Scandinavian), serves as a platform for inspiration, sharing her continuous journey and connecting with others seeking a healthier lifestyle.
