Wowie zowie! What an exciting week endorsement-wise — a welcome relief from the bronchitis and laryngitis that’s been knocking me out for two-plus weeks!
First, famous actress/author Marilu Henner said some nice things about my upcoming book SUGAR SHOCK! (Berkley, Dec. 26, 2006), as I pointed out previously.
Now, Kathy Smith, one of the fitness industry’s leading wellness experts (with a whopping 16 million videos sold nationwide), was kind enough to offer more wonderful words for my book.
It’s quite thrilling to me that Kathy took time to check out my book. I mean, this woman is an icon! She has been at the forefront of the fitness and wellness indutry since 1980. Not only has she been honored by many esteemed groups such as the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, but she has helped shaped, inspire, and motivate millions. (I’m one of them — I’ve had my favorite Kathy Smith walking tape for about at least five years!)
Over the phone, Kathy also conveys charisma, compassion, and calm, as I noticed about a year ago, when she was kind enough to take time to let me interview her for my book, SUGAR SHOCK! (You’ll find her fascinating quotes in a couple of chapters.)
So, here’s Kathy’s endorsement:
“What’s holding you back from having the energy and body you want? What’s holding you back from being the best you can be? Connie Bennett has the answer: For so many people, it’s the sugar habit. Like a poison, sugar takes your body on a roller coaster ride that has no good outcome: It sends you into a tailspin of just wanting more. Follow Connie’s powerful advice in SUGAR SHOCK! and finally break the sugar habit for good.”
– Fitness expert Kathy Smith, author/creator of bestselling books and DVDs
