Motivation for joining The Tour Accomplishing a multi–day cycling event with a group of positive people, and sharing that positive and motivating attitude with others along the way.
Reasons for adopting an active lifestyle I've always been generally active, but did go through a period of time with no exercise. When I realized that discussions of how I spent my free time revolved solely around what happened on television shows, I knew it was time to get moving again!
Why a healthy lifestyle is important When I feel healthy, I act healthy. This applies not only to activities I participate in and the foods I eat, but also to demeanor and outlook on life.
One piece of advice to help others live a healthier life Be reasonable to yourself if you want to achieve long term success - small steps lead to bigger ones. Ask questions of others on how they got started in their health routine so that you don't frustrate yourself by expecting too much too soon.
