What does your daily or weekly fitness regimen consist of?
Generally I will spend 15-30 minutes in the morning (three to five times/week) doing body-weight work (push-ups, crunches, balance-ball work, squats, etc.). Other than this, I will include bicycle rides ranging from 25-100 miles several times per week depending on the time of year as well as running and walks with my wife. I also try to commute by bicycle as possible…
What fitness clubs do you belong to, if any?
I do not currently visit a fitness club, preferring outdoor or body weight work, but have been a member of WAC in the past.
Other than the obvious health benefits, how has being fit improved your life?
Fitness and exercise help me clear my mind and think even more creatively and strategically. I am also the kind of person whose mind is always working and cycling and exercising helps relax my mind.
How does personal fitness affect your work life?
I feel more focused at work and sleep better at night, which also gives me more energy during the work week. Plus, being fit gives me more confidence and a positive self image.
Do you have a corporate health or wellness initiative?
No
What health/wellness organizations do you contract with, if any?
Currently there is not one in place, but will develop one over the next year.
How does fitness or wellness affect your overall organization?
Keeps the creativity, planning, execution and positivity moving.
What advice do you have for other executives interested in starting either a personal fitness plan or corporate wellness initiative?
In my past experience, I know fitness and corporate wellness programs offer a huge benefit to an organization, but it needs to be utilized and promoted from every level of the organization.
