LYNN MURPHEY
MACON DIRECTOR FOR
THE KNIGHT FOUNDATION
Lynn's average day includes talking
with current or potential grantees,
researching grant ideas, engaging in
learning opportunities, meeting with
community members and representing
Knight in Macon.
"I 'm one of those crazy
people who truly
enjoys pushing myself
physically."
What's your current exercise routine?
My goal is to be active every single
day. I enjoy a challenging workout
four or five days a week. Other days,
I'll take a walk or do an at-home yoga
workout. I really enjoy yoga in Tattnall
Square Park when it's in season, and
the pop up Pure Barre classes are
always a treat.
What's the trick to finding time to
exercise, and why is it important?
I sit down on Sunday nights and
plan my workouts. I put them on
my calendar and do my very best to
protect them as much as any other
work appointment I make. If I'm not
intentional about scheduling, my
workouts will not happen – there are
simply too many 'other' things to
distract me.
What's the best exercise advice you
ever got?
Get your workout appointments on
your calendar.
What's the one piece of exercise
equipment you can't live without?
My Garmin watch. I'm a data freak; I
like to know calorie burn, average heart
rate, etc., for each workout so I can
track my progress.
