Welcome to Improving Footsteps, LLC
Let me tell you a little bit about me, Tomi L. Kim, the owner. I am the mother of two who also owns Kinderland, Inc. (www.kinderlandkids.org). Working with children is my daily joy, however; fitness and health is my passion. Let me tell you why. I come from a family where if you just look at a donut you gain 200lbs, I know a lot of you know what I am talking about. Obesity runs in my family like a mad disease that seems to have only two choices in order to be fixed, starving your self or just dealing with it. I grew up looking at skinny people as the enemy and asking “why not me?”
Because I was not willing to accept being fat and I loved food way too much to give it up I started from the age of 15 years old watching what I ate and making sure I eliminated all fast food, pop, and mash-potatoes, enhanced dinners and I went to the gym a lot. This lifestyle served me well until I got married and had two kids. Before I knew it I was over-weight, unhealthy, and wearing a lot of loose guy pants and shirts. The funny thing is in most people eyes I looked “skinny”, even at a size 16, but I knew this was only the beginning with my family history.
Six years ago I asked my husband if we could buy a home. He said I could have a home when he could see me in a bikini. Thus my journey of fitness and self discovery began. As far as I knew he was right about me needing to lose weight, I did not want to hear it in that way and my self-worth went down the toilet. Needless to say I got rid of my husband, got my home, and became a successful business woman. How? Improving just one footstep at a time, thus Improving Footsteps, LLC was born.
I registered my company Improving Footsteps, LLC five years ago wanting to help those who feel overwhelmed, helpless, defeated, and just “not good enough” like I did in that moment. I only needed to wait for the perfect time to launch it. After five years of small steps toward improving my health, weight, self-esteem, and fitness, I believe that time is now.
Believe it or not I started with just making a goal to “step” into the gym for 10mins everyday. I know that sounds silly, but for anyone who has been in my shoes you know even 10min after a day of work seems like 3 hours. It was my first improving footstep that lead me to where I am today, going 5 days a week and running 5k races. I am currently running 9min miles and look forward to reaching bigger goals in the future.
With the economy tough right now, Improving Footsteps, LLC is dedicated to bringing the gym to you, so you can start with your first small improving footstep toward health and fitness.
