What does your daily or weekly fitness regime consist of?
"3-5 days a week weight lifting and cardio."
Other than the obvious health benefits, how has being fit improved your life?
"It has afforded me the ability to play semi-pro football at a later age (34). It has afforded me the opportunity to run around with my kids now and hopefully in the future."
How does personal fitness affect your work life?
"Personal fitness allows you to be more functional and active at work. It provides energy and the ability to not tire easily throughout the day."
Do you have a corporate health or wellness initiative?
"No."
How does fitness or wellness affect your overall organization?
"We don’t have a formalized plan for fitness but the majority of the individuals at our office are impacted by the activities of the boss. The constant protein shakes, healthy meals, and workout talk impacts the work environment daily."
What advice do you have for other executives interested in starting either a personal fitness plan or corporate wellness initiative?
"If you can afford it I say do it. The push for health gives people self esteem and another goal that is worthwhile for your employees personally. I am sure it will also breed a more peppy place to work and definitely lessen the load of your health care costs. I have personally been ill sparingly due to my personal dedication to fitness."
