In Hudson’s perspective, self-reflection is key to achieving and maintaining personal goals. She encourages individuals to ask themselves important questions such as, “What brings us joy? How can we reach that state?” Furthermore, she questions the prevalent feelings of anxiety and sadness in society and how we can inspire people to take small steps towards significant achievements.
Hudson identifies a common objective among herself and others who share similar interests in healthy eating, physical fitness, and mental well-being. According to her, the fitness, nutrition, health, and wellness community possesses a genuine collective passion. By fostering a support system within this community, individuals can live out their goals together and hold each other accountable. However, Hudson acknowledges that many people lack this kind of support and encourages individuals to seek it out.

In her collaboration with MyFitnessPal, Kate Hudson aims to assist others in finding the support they need for their fitness journeys. Teaming up with her trainer, Brian Nguyen, Hudson is promoting the app’s new seven-day plan called “Small Steps, Big Wins.” This plan offers guidance on making small health changes that can lead to significant results.

Hudson expresses her gratitude for technology, referring to it as a valuable gift. She believes that platforms like MyFitnessPal provide not only a sense of community but also support, scientific knowledge, and information, eliminating any excuses one may have for not achieving their fitness goals.

The actress emphasizes the importance of having a support system, stating that it can greatly improve one’s daily life. Nguyen adds to her point, sharing his chosen quote for the month: “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, a bird sings because it has a song.” Both Hudson and Nguyen believe that they, along with MyFitnessPal users, have their own unique song to contribute to the fitness community.

Hudson further highlights the power of MyFitnessPal and the Small Steps, Big Wins Plan in creating a community of individuals who share the same goals. She calls this community a group of “birds” who are eager to sing their song and help others along the way. As a fitness enthusiast and trainer for celebrities like Mark Wahlberg and Patrick Schwarzenegger, Hudson believes that joining forces through MyFitnessPal is an ideal way to foster this supportive community of like-minded individuals.
