Women's fitness lost an advocate yesterday

Good morning everyone!

Yesterday was such a sad day for so many of us whose lives are centred around fitness.  The publisher of several fitness magazines including Oxygen, passed after battling cancer.  Along with many other women involved in fitness I sent my condolences to his family (wife Tosca Reno and their 4 daughters).  And along with so many others I feel a profound sense of loss.  Mr. Kennedy was a huge advocate for women in the weight room and a huge supporter of women lifting heavy weights, 2 things near and dear to my heart.  Although I never met Mr. Kennedy in person I have read and digested so many of his words and even used some of his "tough love" statements with my own clients and on myself when I have had a bad day.  I almost feel like I lost a friend so I can only image the loss his friends and family feel.

The link below is the beautiful tribute from his wife Tosca and how most of us heard of his passing.  Please have a read and feel the love and gratitude in her words.  If you go to workout today, dedicate your sweat to bettering your life and enriching the lives of those around you.  We all have one journey on this earth, make it count and make it a joy for those that surround you.

Until tomorrow.....
