Joan and Kelly Howard
“My mom (Joan, 78) is incredible,” Kelly Howard, 48, says. “When I was growing up, she was the only mom who exercised, and I thought it was pretty cool! For as long as I can remember, my mom practiced yoga and calisthenics. At age 50, and ready for a new challenge, she took up taekwondo. She is now a practicing 4th degree black belt and yoga instructor.
“I have always been active. Throughout my 20s and 30s, I cycled, skated, ran and went to the gym. Three years ago, I took over Bayou City Outdoors and things changed. Exercise was not just a part of my life anymore. It is my life. Before, I mainly exercised to stay in shape and stay fit. Now, it’s all about fun. It’s a lot easier to stay motivated when your exercise is all play.”
