What is your favorite type of exercise? i.e. Group Fitness Cardio or weight training.
I enjoy both group fitness cardio and weight training. I alternate between the two Monday thru Thursday.

Have you noticed a difference in yourself?
Most definitely. I have more energy, my posture is better, I am more agile, I sleep more soundly, my blood pressure is controlled, and I have been able to tone and lose inches.

With such a busy schedule how do you fit healthy living in?
I have incorporated exercise into my daily schedule. Exercise at Beaman completes my work day. On those days that I have meetings after five, I try to incorporate it into the regular work day with using the stairs instead of the elevator, parking farther away from my office building and taking a walk during lunch.
