Why do I exercise?
I exercise to honor life. I have lost loved ones that have inspired me to keep myself and others LIVING and MOVING!
I believe we do not OWN our bodies; rather, we borrow them for this human experience. I want to keep this vehicle clean, tuned up, and running on great fuel. That way, I can keep enjoying the open road with my loved ones!
How do you fit it in?
I have a morning ritual. The first 2 hours of my day are for me. If I can love myself as best I can, then I can also do it for others. But if I can’t do it for myself, what makes me think I can truly give it back to others? Lesson: Your oxygen mask first!
What inspires you to keep going?
I’m a dragon in the Chinese horoscope. I am in awe of the legend of the dragon spirit that spewed fire into the skies so that rain would fall to the dry lands. I live this and love it. I just want to be there for people to reveal the happiness found in movement and games.
What motivational phrase or thought can you share with others?
Happiness is not something to get or buy. It’s inside you. If you move and play a little bit every day, you give yourself the opportunity to reveal and attach to your inner child. Never forget that little, happy bugger.
