What does your daily or weekly fitness regime consist of?
"I teach physical fitness classes 5 times a week and participate in activities with my family that include being physically active."
Other than the obvious health benefits, how has being fit improved your life?
"Being fit gives me a clear mind, a healthy soul and great rest so that I can start out each day refreshed and ready to take on the world."
How does personal fitness affect your work life?
"It gives me the strength, both physically and mentally to take charge of any situation, with confidence."
Do you have a corporate health or wellness initiative?
"Yes."
How does fitness or wellness affect your overall organization?
"We just began a Wellness Program in the last half of 2006 and hope to take it to the next level in 2007. There are many employees that are driven to wellness and some who just don’t know how to get there and our program is giving them the information they need to change to healthier way of living."
What advice do you have for other executives interested in starting either a personal fitness plan or corporate wellness initiative?
"Everyone is different, so it isn’t about a ‘cookie cutter’ plan. It has to be right for you for it to be a success. You also have to give yourself plenty of time to see results and be okay with yourself when you stumble. It’s a natural part of the process and will make you stronger in the end."
