What is the most important part of your daily routine?
Each day is different. I spend a good portion of my day motivating others to get fit so it is important for me to get a good workout in first. There are days this means a 3:00AM alarm but since it’s important, I do it!
What about your daily routine do you think is unique or special?
No excuses! If I wake up and don’t feel like doing my planned workout, I just do a lighter version. A habit is tough to form and easier to break. I always do something,
Whose “O” would you most love to see?
I would love to see US Olympic medalist Deena Kastor’s “O” because she is unstoppable and always has a big smile on her face. Easy to tell that she loves what she does and does it well!
What is your #1 wellness habit?
A variety of exercises! Lots of cardio and weight training. I am lucky that I enjoy it all so it gets done.
What is the best piece of health advice you’ve ever received?
Sleep! Eat! Our bodies are like cars – without proper fuel they are totally useless.
What is your favorite part about living a healthy lifestyle?
The aging process is going to happen, but a healthy lifestyle can help delay looking and feeling older.
If you could give one piece of health advice what would it be?
Start a fitness program early in life and do something that is enjoyable. Fitness does not have to be a chore. There are lots of options out there – just get up and move!
