Any mom will tell you that motherhood is busy, busy, busy. But Kiana Tom takes being busy (and successful) to a whole new level. She has been making waves in the fitness industry with ESPN shows such as Kiana’s Too Fit 2 Quit<\/I>, Kiana’s Hot Summer Nights <\/I>and Cross Training with Kiana<\/I>, as well as Super Bowl Nightlife <\/I>for ABC and Extreme Energy <\/I>for ESPN 2.<\/p>\n

Tom married Dennis Breshears, a fire chief for Los Angeles County, on Maui at the Grand Wailea. “When I filmed Kiana’s Flex Appeal <\/I>at the Grand Wailea and saw the chapel along the ocean, I knew that if and when I got married, that was where it had to be,” says Tom, who was featured on MidWeek<\/I>‘s cover July 18, 2001.<\/p>\n

“Our wedding was spectacular, the entire chapel was lit by candles and it was a black-tie affair. More than 200 guests flew in from all over.”<\/p>\n

Together, Tom and Breshears have two beautiful daughters, Anelalani (10), which means “angel of the sky” in Hawaiian, and Kiana Jr. (6), who is exactly like her mommy – everything fitness.<\/p>\n

“After having children, my heart grew a million times,” Tom says. “I never knew I could love anyone as much as I do my kids. Of all the things I’ve accomplished in my life, my family is the best part of my life.<\/p>\n

“I love being a wife and mom. I am so proud of my husband and my kids. I love teaching them to be healthy, loving, smart, responsible little fit kids.”<\/p>\n

On Jan. 15, Tom launched Fit Mom TV Live!, which broadcasts live streaming workouts (that are totally free) for women from her outdoor fitness studio Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9 a.m. PST at Kiana.com and FitMomTV.com.<\/p>\n

“I was inspired to create Fit Mom TV after the birth of my second daughter,” Tom explains. “Long gone were the pre-kid, two-hour workouts. I was lucky to get 15 minutes to myself.”<\/p>\n

As a busy mom, she realized that her regular workouts were not working and the routines she was used to were not able to get her body back into shape.<\/p>\n

Tom’s experience as a busy mother inspired her to reach more people on a personal level in regard to fitness.<\/p>\n

“The computer is intimate – you are one-on-one at your desk, living room, bedroom or office,” she says. “That is how Fit Mom TV was born.<\/p>\n

“Watch from wherever you are, work out with us, feel good, look better.”<\/p>\n

While her current ventures are keeping her busy, Tom still has big plans for her future. She’s hoping to get Fit Mom TV on television and is partnering with a top production company in L.A.<\/p>\n

“I would also love to do another movie and kick Fit Mom booty!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
