Name: Pam

Age: 28

Occupation: Teacher

How often do you exercise? Three times a week

What type of exercise do you do? I work out at home to DVDs. My favorites are Tae Bo, Kickboxing, Turbo Jam and Denise Austin. In the summertime, I workout in the pool and do water aerobics. I also like to walk daily and jump on a mini trampoline.

What gets you to workout, even when you're feeling lazy? As soon as I get home from work on my work out days (usually Sun, Mon and Wed) I immediately put on my workout clothes and sneakers and do not change into comfy bum clothes until I am done working out.

What's on your MP3 player? I like 80's new wave and hair bands. I also like British pop music and techno/dance music.

Favorite healthy food? Rice cakes, salmon, salads, high fiber cereal, yogurt and my favorite snack: low fat popcorn sprinkled with cinnamon and Equal!

Favorite not-so-healthy food? Beer

Greatest fitness accomplishment? Losing 115 lbs

Best fitness advice? If you rest, you rust (Denise Austin)
