How long have you been working out?
I’ve always been
active, always played a lot of sports...but
I’ve really gotten into the fitness groove with Sonki Fitness, which I’ve
been doing religiously (and by that I mean I swear and pray a lot while
doing it) since November 2004.
What is your current exercise routine?
Boot camp 3 days a
week, hiking and/or bike riding with the family on the weekends.
What is your motivation to stay in shape?
Trying to keep up
with my kids; refusing to go gently into that good night without raging
against the dying of the light. And I just feel a helluva lot better when
I work out.
What is your greatest challenge to staying in shape?
Finding the free
time (there is none). Making the time (without feeling too guilty about
it)
What is your key to success?
Avoiding clichéd
mottos, aphorisms, and easy, pithy answers.
How long have you been doing Sonki Fitness
Boot Camp?
I haven’t missed a
session since Nov. 2004.
What do you like about Sonki Fitness Boot Camp
and how has it affected your life?
Love working out in
the Great Outdoors (I’d had enough of the gym dynamic). Love the variety
of exercises we do. Love the group dynamic. Love saying my name and
where I’m originally from while jogging in place.
What advice would you give to others about fitness?
I’m not much on giving advice (what if I’m wrong??), but I do think
there is great satisfaction to be found in the discipline of showing up
on time and giving everything you have to that moment in time -- whether
that moment is spent working out, eating, being with friends, reading a
book, or cursing at Sonki for not giving you a moment’s rest between
sprinting across the sand and a set of walking lunges.
Any other comments?
