IMPACT
How does being active make you feel and why is it important to you?
I feel so much better when I exercise and a great day for me is to do 3 activities. I have a lot more energy and sleep much better when I am active every day.
SCHEDULING
How do you implement being active into your busy schedule?
A buddy helps as you don’t want to let them down. But I have pretty good self-motivation.
BARRIERS
What barriers have you faced or are you currently facing when it comes to being active?
None as I have been very fortunate to have time and facilities to remain active.
MOTIVATION
What motivates you to continue to be active?
I like having energy at the end of the day and exercising gives that back to me.
ROLE MODEL
Do you have a role model and/or would you consider yourself to be a role model to others?
Many role models. I enjoy reading about people who have been active. I am currently reading Grandma Gatewood’s Walk about a grandmother who walked the Appalachian Trail twice.
