Laura Posada

Laura Posada is a family health and fitness activist and philanthropic icon.

A modern day “super-woman,” Laura maintains a healthy and fit family, and still found enough time to write a book about it all. In Fit Home Team, released September 8, 2009, Laura illustrates the triumph of raising a healthy and fit family in the modern world.

Having always maintained a healthy lifestyle for herself, Laura ensures the same groundwork for her children. Laura strives to take the “work” out of working out by finding activities that her kids will enjoy, without them realizing they’re exercising. Using the same philosophy with diet, she drives home the importance of healthy eating habits from a young age, allowing her children to be stronger and healthier individuals.

As an attorney barred in both Puerto Rico and the US Federal Court, Laura has worn many hats in the professional world. Growing up, Laura began her career as a publicist, hosting television shows, and working as a fitness model and actress. Since, Laura’s love for fitness and health has inspired her to formally educate herself in this arena and is now a certified personal trainer.

In the late 1990’s, Laura’s son, Jorge Jr., was born with Craniosynostosis, prompting the family to found The Jorge Posada Foundation to bring awareness and support to other families dealing with the same struggles. As co-founder and President, Laura offers emotional support to fellow parents of children with Craniosynostosis, and has created a Mentors Program. Her activism and foundation works were celebrated by President Obama at a White House Speech in April 2010.
