How long have you been
working out?
I have
been playing sports since I was a kid and working out since high school.
What is your current exercise routine?
I
currently do Sonki Fitness Boot Camp five days a week. I usually do a few
hikes and at least one 30 mile bike ride throughout the week as well. I also
try to do at least one yoga class each week to keep flexible. In the summer,
I play beach volleyball, surf, and kayak as well.
What is your motivation to stay in shape?
My main
motivation is that amazing feeling I have when I am in shape. I am
absolutely on fire after a great workout...it’s like a drug to me. When I
feel good physically, every other aspect of my life clicks. I am an
entrepreneur who travels extensively, so it’s imperative that I feel good,
have high energy, and stay focused. Boot camp really helps me in all of
these areas, and it helps me to start my day early.
What is your greatest challenge to staying in shape?
The Wine
Business!! My challenge over the past five years involved extensive travel
to China, and namely, the four hour dinners every night during my trips
(which I can’t resist). Now, I am doing the same trips, same dinners, but
also doing wine tastings all day long!! It’s a recipe for losing “All Star”
status…
What is your key to success?
The key to
my success has been setting goals, surrounding myself with people who are in
better shape and more intense than I am. For me, I gain inspiration by
seeing those who are “doing it”. I have been slacking on signing up for my
first triathlon in the coming months, but talking to my buddy about his
Ironman training puts it all in perspective and makes it far less
intimidating.
How long have you been doing Sonki Fitness Boot Camp?
I have been
doing it for the past year and a half.
What do you like about Sonki Fitness Boot Camp and how has it
affected your life?
It’s a group
class, but it’s also very personal. Sonki does an incredible job of making
it very personal. It really is like having your own coach, and this has made
all of the difference for me. It’s very easy to slack off when you do
self-guided workouts, but Sonki (and Katie and Kristin) really push me to
get better. I took him seriously when he said that he is our individual
coach. I’ve shared my goals with him, and he’s really pushed me to get to
the next level.
What advice would you give to others about fitness?
My
advice to others is to make it fun by surrounding yourself with others who
are active. I’ve found that it’s so much cooler to spend two hours of
quality time hiking, biking, or surfing with a good friend than it is to sit
in a noisy bar to catch up. You can still have the post workout beer, but it
tastes that much better...
Any other comments?
I would
encourage anyone and everyone to go on the Hawaii Fitness Vacation. It was
the best vacation that I have been on!
