Jennie Says No to Heights and Harnesses But Yes to Shredding at 70

Jennie!

Every day, we give you a snapshot of one fellow striver in fitness. We ask personal questions, he or she boldly answers. Today's snapshot: Jennie, aka jenniew.

• What's your go-to workout? Spinning or...gasp....running. I never in 10 million years thought that I would say that.
• What are you just never going to try? Rock climbing and trapeze. Heights and harnesses are not for me. 
• What's the healthiest thing you eat? Oatmeal (almost daily), kale and insanely huge salads. And I make REALLY good vegetable soup. 
• What's your secret (fitness-related) sin? I regularly trade food calories for wine calories. 
• What do you wear to the gym? Ugh. I seriously need an upgrade. Mostly yoga pants, t-shirts...but nothing fits right or feels comfortable. I'm always tugging things back into place. 
• What's your number one workout spot? Crunch Union Square, East River, Tompkins Square Park. Depends on the weather. 
• What's the best thing in your gym bag? My iPod. Specifically, my friend Steve's mixes that are on my iPod. 
• What would you do (fitness wise) if you had all the time/ability in the world? Skiing, horseback riding, sailing...I would love to do more of those things! 
• What superhero (real life or fictional) most inspires you? In my most recent pursuit of fitness/wellness, my sister, Julie, and my friends, Wendy and Steve. But, I'm going to have to give it up for my dad, who broke his leg skiing yesterday. Still shredding at 70!! Here's to a speedy recovery.
