Kiana Tom's Beach Body Workout for Moms
(CBS) Kiana Tom spent a decade teaching people how to workout on her ESPN program "Kiana's Flex Appeal." But several years ago, the Hawaiian who grew up in Southern California, took time out to start a family.
Now, while raising two beautiful children, Kiana Kai,3, and Anelalani, 7, Kiana says she is getting back into the game and this time she wants to "help busy moms get their pre-kid bodies back."
"As a busy mom of two young children, I know it's hard to find the time to workout," she tells CBS News. So she created a program that "provides doable, 10-minute workouts."
Will they work? You be the judge.
