Favorite workout:<\/strong> X-Force<\/p>\n

Least favorite way to workout?<\/strong> Interval sprints<\/p>\n

How does fitness affect you as a professional?<\/strong> I have to get up early
\nand sometimes work late. My health is everything; I never get sick and
\nI attribute that to clean eating and exercise.<\/p>\n

Would you be as good at what you do if you didn’t pursue fitness?<\/strong>
\nGetting up at 3:30 a.m.<\/span><\/span> requires discipline and a healthy body. Exercise
\nis a very important part of my success.<\/p>\n

How do you squeeze fitness in on a crazy busy day?<\/strong> I always put my
\nworkout first by making an appointment with myself and carve out the
\ntime when necessary.<\/p>\n

\nget the work done. I always feel better after I workout.<\/p>\n

What other obstacles do you face (health-wise) as part of your work?<\/strong>
\nHave you found a way to overcome them?<\/strong> I have high blood pressure and I
\nam a cancer survivor. My blood pressure is managed by my diet and
\nexercise. I beat the cancer with caring doctors and vigorous
\nexercise during my chemo and radiation treatments.<\/p>\n

Does your company offer incentives for exercising or eating right?<\/strong> If<\/strong>
\nso, how do you take part?<\/strong> We have a lot of healthy people who
\nencourage each other to stay healthy; nothing formal.<\/p>\n

Must-have training equipment:<\/strong>\u00a0Just body weight and a clear mind<\/p>\n

Favorite training tune:<\/strong> I don’t listen to music when I exercise; I
\njust concentrate on making the last rep to failure.<\/p>\n

Favorite healthy food:<\/strong> I eat a lot of veggies that I prepare in a
\nvariety of ways: curries, stir fries, Asian, Mexican, etc. I make very
\nflavorful, tasty dishes where the protein is a minor player.<\/p>\n

Favorite not-so-healthy food:<\/strong> Dark chocolate<\/p>\n

Greatest accomplishment in fitness\/athletics:<\/strong> I was captain of the Nova High School wrestling team my junior and senior year. In the last two years, I lost 65 pounds of fat and gained 17.5 pounds of muscle in 12 weeks with the X-Force exercise program at Gainesville Health and Fitness.<\/p>\n

Weirdest\/funniest\/craziest thing that you’ve ever experienced while exercising:<\/strong> I guess it’s a pet peeve, but people who go to fitness centers and leave looking like they haven’t worked out. When I leave, I’m drenched in sweat and wrung out. I’m a busy guy and don’t have time to dawdle.
\nWhen in the gym, put in the effort for results!<\/p>\n

Do you think fitness is a factor in being successful in business? Why<\/strong>
\nor why not?<\/strong> Fitness is a big factor in my success. I stay busy early
\nto late, with a lot of charity events in between. To maintain my
\nschedule I have to take care of myself.<\/p>\n

What fit professional inspires you?<\/strong> Joe Cirulli, Owner of Gainesville
\nHealth and Fitness Centers<\/p>\n

Advice for others trying to become more fit:<\/strong> Start now, ease into it
\nand make it part of your routine. My cancer doctor, Dr. Cherylle
\nHayes, told me, “Be the CEO of your own health.” You are in charge of
\nyour body and you need to take care of what you’ve got!<\/p>\n

Best piece of business advice you’ve ever received:<\/strong>\u00a0The harder I
\nwork, the luckier I get.<\/p>\n
