 Date you joined Snap Fitness: 

July 2009 - Right after we got married.

How long have you been exercising?

I have been exercising since we joined Snap in July. In the past, I have taken up excercise routines but fall out of the habit after awhile. This is the longest I have ever stuck with a program.

I have also been excercising on a semi-consistent basis.

How often do you exercise during the week?

I excercise at least four times a week. My goal is five, but I'm happy with four!

Also, about four times a week - both in and out of the gym.

What are your fitness goals? 

My current goal is to compete in the Ann Arbor Triathalon at Halfmoon Lake this June.

To train for a trail half marathon and The Dances with Dirt relay in September, While keeping the rest of my body in decent condition.

Favorite cardio activity: 

Running! But I try to do other activities, like biking and swimming, to keep myself from getting injured from running to much.

Running is probably my favorite, especially if it's on a trail. I just ran a 10.8 mile race in Indiana and I'm looking to run more races. I love to cross train as well to keep it interesting and to reduce injuries. If I over-do it with running I have problems with my knees and shin splints.

Favorite body part to train (i.e. biceps, calves): 

I like training my abdominal muscles.

For strength training I enjoy doing bench-press-like exercises that strengthen pecks, shoulders, and deltoids. That being said, I am much more interested in being strong in cardiovascular activities such as running.

What is the biggest challenge in your exercise program?

Staying motivated is challenging at times, but Tom helps me with this. Sometimes I push through a bout of lethargy because I feel I should encourage Tom to work out, while on other days I end up going to Snap even though I do not feel like it because Tom encourages me!

Staying cosistent with my routine is my biggest challenge. It is difficult balancing working out with family, social life, work, and other hobbies.

What other sports or activities do you participate in?

I really like cross-country skiing and am hoping for a snowy winter. Also, I enjoy hiking and backpacking.

Lots of outdoor activities: cross-country skiing, mountain biking, hiking backpacking, peak bagging, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and hunting. Also, I'm into playing most sports if the games are not to competitive.
