ISPA HEADQUARTERS TEAM
THIS MONTH WE ASKED : How do you find ways to incorporate fitness into a busy workday ?
Lynne McNees • President lynne . mcnees @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4260 “ I start early in the morning , otherwise it won ’ t happen . I also schedule walk / talk sessions during the workday as a productive way to catch up with members !”
Crystal Ducker • Vice President crystal . ducker @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4427 “ I use a standing desk at work , which helps keep me moving . And when I take my son to golf practice , I walk around the course while waiting for him to finish .”
Elly Boling • Membership Coordinator elly . boling @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4292 “ I started taking tennis lessons at the same time every week . It keeps me active , and I look forward to that part of my weekly routine .”
Chelsea Compton • Director of Membership chelsea . compton @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4334 “ I find it helpful to incorporate a short walk with a friend during the lunch hour , or even take a ‘ walking meeting ’ with a coworker when the weather is nice . I also get up and stretch whenever my Apple watch tells me to !”
Sydney Doctor • Director of Sales sydney . doctor @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.279.0801 “ I try to always have a race or competition scheduled on my calendar . Having a goal to complete that activity gives me the motivation to stay active daily and keeps me on track .”
Amy Finder • Graphic Designer amy . finder @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.963.1877 “ Aside from my morning workout , I find it beneficial to move throughout the day . I try to get up often , stretch , move , transition to a different seating position , breathe .”
Alexandra Harper-Sharapov • Director of Education alexandra . harper-sharapov @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.359.8010 “ Each evening , I spend time at the barn working my horses . Not only is it great exercise for every muscle in my body , but it is also critical for my mental health . I can be stressed or upset about something , and after an hour in the barn all my cares are gone and I feel so refreshed and rejuvenated .”
Nelson Lane • Senior Marketing Manager nelson . lane @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.551.3906 “ I try to exercise at least three times a week . Whether through weight training , running or simply going for a walk , getting my heart rate up has become a priority over the past three years .”
Jessica Roberts • Marketing Specialist jessica . roberts @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.425.5072 “ I incorporate fitness into a busy workday by making it a part of that workday ! By teaching group fitness classes on the side , I ’ m able to accomplish two things at once .”
Samantha Smith • Project Manager samantha . smith @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.219.3619 “ Time spent walking outside has become so critical to my health — there is something about that reconnection with the physical world that brings me back to life . What started out as a stroll down my street has turned into getting 10,000 steps every day !”
Marja Walker • Graphic Designer marja . walker @ ispastaff . com • 1.520.891.3439 “ I have the Oura ring and it reminds me to get up and move every two hours ( and a dog who does the same ). Before them , I would sit and work for six-plus hours at a time . It ’ s so easy to get sucked in and lose track of time .”
Scot T . Gillies • Executive Editor scot . gillies @ ispastaff . com • 1.859.226.4372 “ Doing something upon awaking — a walk , a good stretch — gets me in the right mindset . Then I ’ m more likely to park on the opposite side of the office parking lot and take the stairs to keep the momentum going .”
