Plant-Based Parents with Kimatni Rawlins

b'The proud father of two young girls, Kimatni D. Rawlins founded Fit Fathers to inspire other men to lead the charge in prioritizing healthier eating and exercise to enhance the lives of themselves and their families. Despite a deeply athletic background that included playing running back for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Rawlins, like so many others, had succumbed to an increasingly inactive lifestyle and, after getting back on track, created the educational website, www.FitFathers.com, to help other dads do the same.

Today, Rawlins leads an extremely active lifestyle that includes competing in track meets, 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons and urbanathlons in addition to training private clients looking to make similar positive life changes. Incorporating strength training, plyometrics, running, sprinting, boxing and yoga into his own daily workouts and opting for such family activities as cycling, hiking and swimming, Rawlins, who is also a vegan, believes that fitness and nutrition fuel positive health habits for himself and his family and thrives on the motto: \\u201cEat well, stay active and energize your life!\\u201d

Rawlins received his B.S. in Business from Georgia Tech and is also the president and publisher of the lifestyle automotive media and marketing portal, Automotive Rhythms.'
