Other than the obvious health benefits, how has being fit improved your life? Working out on a regular basis has created a positive and energetic approach to all aspects of my life.
How does personal fitness affect your work life? Exercise can and should be contagious…creating a healthy, positive and energetic work environment produces quality outcomes and better performance overall.
How does fitness or wellness affect your overall organization? Anthem is a health and wellness company with a mission to improve the lives of the people we serve and the health of our community. It is important to lead by example and Anthem has promoted fitness internally for many years.
What advice do you have for other executives interested in starting either a personal fitness plan or corporate wellness initiative? It starts from the top down…lead by example. The initial stages of transforming an organization into a health oriented organization can be difficult and met with resistance. Do not allow the actions of a few people to hinder the improvement of many lives. you will not regret this effort.
