What does your daily or weekly fitness regime consist of?
"Four times per week at the gym, cardio and weight training. Eating right (5 small meals a day)."
Other than the obvious health benefits, how has being fit improved your life?
"Self confidence! At 52 years of age I can do most anything I could do at the age of 20."
How does personal fitness affect your work life?
"I feel more confident in my self,less stress, and more motivated."
Do you have a corporate health or wellness initiative?
"No."
How does fitness or wellness affect your overall organization?
"As I said, if you feel better you perform better!"
What advice do you have for other executives interested in starting either a personal fitness plan or corporate wellness initiative?
"First of all you should join a good fitness club, working out a home most of the time does not give you the motivation to push yourself one step further. Finding a good personal trainer is a key to get you started! All you need is one hour a day 3-4 times per week."
