Q&A with Allison:

  • What piece of exercise equipment can’t you live without? – “My favorite piece of exercise equipment is my running shoes. I love to escape outside whenever possible.”
  • What time of day do you exercise and why? – “Typically, you can find me at the gym by 5 a.m. or outside for a run. My daughter is a swimmer and does her practices from 5-6:30 a.m., giving me a great opportunity to hit the gym.”
  • What is your most prized possession? – “Not sure, other than my family, though I’m not sure they qualify as a possession. Maybe my new iPad 2.”
  • What is the best way to change people’s attitude to live a healthier lifestyle? – “Most people think being healthy is too hard. My ongoing goal is to show people that being health can be easy and fun.”
  • Where do you find the motivation to exercise? – “Exercise is my relaxation and stress relieving activity! I’m much happier if I hit the gym or spend time outside.”
  • What is your favorite hobby or pastime? – “Sports and activity are my passion! Once a week, I play on a women’s softball team. I meet a running group every Saturday morning. Two mornings a week, I coach Girls on the Run. Each year my family goes on a ski vacation.”
  • What superpower you would most like to have? – “To fly, so I could easily explore and travel different cities and countries.”
