Name: Leah Galione
Age: 35
Occupation: Mommy of 4
How often do you exercise? About five times a week
What type of exercise do you do? Stretching class, water aerobics, running, cycling, walking and strength training
What gets you to work out, even when you're feeling lazy? I get up before the kids to work out, because I really need to do something just for ME before my day starts. It helps me to be more patient knowing that I've started the day doing something for myself.
What's on your MP3 player? I don't have one. I really enjoy the quiet, since my life is full of little voices!
Favorite healthy food? Salad
Favorite not-so-healthy food? Ice cream
Greatest fitness accomplishment? Running the 2006 NYC marathon
Best fitness advice? Do what you can. Don't compare yourself to others or even to what you used to be able to do 10 or 20 years ago. Just stay active.
Pursuing fitness with four teeny kids is a fantastic endeavor, Leah. I'm blown away by your ambition. You're a role model for all mothers! Fitz
