We’re far more interested in the accomplishments and challenges of real women who’ve made health and fitness a priority. So we’re starting “That Girl,” a column meant to celebrate women of all ages, shapes, sizes and athletic persuasions, from all over the country (and hopefully beyond).

It was only three days ago that she set up Alice’s Bucket List, but her brave face, and inspirational goals (which include increasing bone marrow donorship) have ignited social media sites, and her name has become a trending topic on Twitter. “I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends!” she wrote, after the media caught wind of her blog and her name was mentioned across some of Britain’s most popular discussion and news shows.

Instead of smiling, happy people taking in the scenery on slow, meditative walks, we mostly see people plowing through the streets with their heads down and headphones on: Hardly the restorative health boost we wish our outdoor experience could be. But GOOD recently asked readers to submit photos of happy stuff in the street, which reminded us that it’s not only off-road trails and trees that are worth getting outdoors for.

He was nominated in 2005 for the Young Australian of the Year Award, and is now a motivational speaker touring schools around the globe. He explains how hard someone may think they have it, but when they take a look at him, it seems to put everything in perspective.

He also bathes them, and provides shaves and haircuts. For all his efforts, Krishnan was recently presented with the CNN Heroes award. In Krishnan’s words, happiness comes from giving, and the joy that comes with making other people happy and healthy.

Sike. She’s not giving lessons on how to wash floors; she’s telling us how to scour ourselves of bad energy and wake up our inner selves. Naturally. Madsen’s advice is simple: Try something new to excite, or wake up your inner self. Try yoga, cycling or raising your heart rate with a simple walk around the block. With simple “baby steps” we can transform our own energy. By doing so we create momentum that can affect ourselves, and those around us. I think of this as a kind of “spring cleaning” of the body mind and spirit. …and the rest of her post is brief. ...
