Dan Team Rider
Riding The Tour in	Bloomfield, CT to Scranton, PA
Riding out of	Granby, CT
Motivation for joining The Tour	Desire to support the "Healthy Life" culture at CIGNA and contribute to our enhanced visibility in the marketplace.
Reasons for adopting an active lifestyle	While in my late teens, I was told by an orthopedic surgeon that I would be "crippled by arthritis" by age 30. Cycling, healthy nutrition, weight management and an active lifestyle have played a significant role in enhancing my vitality, flexibility and overall quality of life in multiple arenas.
Why a healthy lifestyle is important	An active lifestyle has played a significant role in reducing stress, enhancing my energy, increasing my flexibility and overall quality of life at work and at home. Sound physical, emotional and spiritual health enhances my effectiveness in my roles as a parent, spouse, friend and wellness consultant with CIGNA Behavioral Health.
One piece of advice to help others live a healthier life	Unless your doctor cautions you about particular limitations, exercise and physical activity can be an excellent complement to your medical treatment plan. Medically supervised exercise and physical activity, on a regular basis, can improve recovery and stamina, may reduce your need for medications, and may help prevent chronic health conditions from getting worse.
