How often do you exercise?<\/strong> Five to six times a week<\/p>\n Brief description of your workout routine:<\/strong> My workout routine varies from spinning, boxing, strength-training and cardio work.<\/p>\n Brief description of your eating habits:<\/strong> I eat extremely clean during the week. I prep my meals in advance on Sunday for the workweek. On the weekends, I still try to eat as clean as possible, but I will treat myself to one thing I don\u2019t allow during the week.<\/p>\n Favorite Workout:<\/strong> Hooked Fitness. It\u2019s a mixture of strength training, cardio (bleacher and track work) and boxing.<\/p>\n Least favorite way to workout?<\/strong> Long-distance cardio; I hate running!<\/p>\n How does fitness affect you as a professional?<\/strong> Fitness definitely affects my mood and my energy. I feel extremely lethargic when I don\u2019t workout and it also puts me in a bad mood. This is Would you be as good at what you do if you didn\u2019t pursue fitness?<\/strong> I don\u2019t think I would have the relationships I do with some of my clients if it weren\u2019t for fitness. It makes me an overall happier person. I take stressful situations a lot more lightly.<\/p>\n How do you squeeze fitness in on a crazy busy day?\u00a0<\/strong>Once I get to the office, I tend\u00a0to not move from my desk, unless it\u2019s to get my pre-packed meals from the fridge. I\u00a0put my headphones on and my music extra loud so I don\u2019t hear anyone. I have lunch\u00a0at my desk and only answer calls when it\u2019s absolutely necessary. I make the most of\u00a0my day because when the clock hits 5:30, my boss already knows I\u2019m running out to\u00a0make it on time to the gym.<\/p>\n How do you fight the urge to skip workouts?<\/strong> Whenever I want to be a little lazy,\u00a0especially on the weekends, I have a little voice in my head telling me to sleep in; that I deserve it. Then I remember it\u2019s only an hour to an hour and a half of my day,\u00a0and I can nap when I get home. Seeing a \u201cbefore\u201d picture usually does the trick.\u00a0Dreams don\u2019t work unless you do!<\/p>\n If you travel, what kind of workouts do you do on the road?<\/strong> I usually have my trainer\u00a0write up a few workouts that I can do in a hotel gym. Something along the lines of\u00a0running on the treadmill and lifting some weights and some body weight exercises–anything to break a sweat.<\/p>\n What other obstacles do you face (health-wise) as part of your work?<\/strong> Have you\u00a0found a way to overcome them?<\/strong> I face obstacles daily, considering I sit at a desk eight hours a day. There also always seems to be an occasion to celebrate with really bad\u00a0food. I fight the urge to indulge in any of these, because it\u2019s just not worth it.\u00a0Mind over matter.<\/p>\n Does your company offer incentives for exercising or eating right? If so, how do you take part? <\/strong>My company just launched a wellness program this year with onsite yoga and different mentoring sessions from how to cope with stress by not overeating, etc. Since I already have a gym I go to, I don\u2019t take part; but I thought it was a really great idea that they started this.<\/p>\n Do you have a family, and if so … how do you juggle work, fitness and family? <\/strong>Luckily for now, it\u2019s just me; so I learn to balance my day based on what I have to do.<\/p>\n Greatest accomplishment in fitness\/athletics:<\/strong> I ran my first obstacle race\u00a0this past November called Battlefrog.<\/p>\n Weirdest\/funniest\/craziest thing that you’ve ever experienced while exercising:<\/strong> My\u00a0weirdest\/ funniest\/ craziest thing would have to be about running. Although I hate it, I\u00a0remember not even being able to run two minutes consistently without telling my\u00a0trainer Cedric, \u201c I just can’t.\u201d Now, I\u2019m sprinting faster than most people. There\u2019s just\u00a0one guy I haven\u2019t caught up to yet.<\/p>\n![\"image](\"http:\/\/www.fitzness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/image-4.jpg\")
