ENSTO TODAY 1/2016 39 Meet Ensto People: Marwa Fouly ensto today | ENSTO PEOPLE et Tell us about yourself Ciao, I'm Marwa but everyone calls me Maru. I'm an enthusiastic person with a good dose of madness, energy, ideas and a lot of imagination! I’ve been working for nine years at the finance department of Ensto in Italy. Last April I started as the Ensto Wellness Motivator because I want (and I do all my best) to promote healthy lifestyle. et What do you do on your free time? I bet it’s some-thing exercise-related. I have a normal life and I have a lot of hobbies but you bet right, most of my free time is invested in exercise. I’ve been doing sports since I was a toddler. I started with dance; modern dance, jazz, hip hop. Then I started swim-ming. After university I took up running. My first race was StraMilan, a 10 km race where my brother took me. At first I thought I would fail miserably because I hadn’t practiced, but I finished it in 50 minutes! That’s when I realized run-ning is my thing. I run almost every morning before going to work, for maximum one hour. Then during the weekend I go for a longer run. I also enjoy mountain running. (The views are fantastic!) In addition, I exercise quite much. Three to four days per week I go to gym for two hours to do abs, cross-fit, body pump, and so on. After five years I continue to be in love with antigravity yoga which I practice two hours every week. et Do you plans for the near future? Right now I’m challenging myself with marathons. I just ran my first full marathon in Florence, and the next one will be this year either in Tallinn or Helsinki. et Do you have some good memories about running? In the real all my races and trainings are a good mem-ories but my first long distance race, Salomon City Trail, a 28 km race in Milan still the best memory I have. After that I felt “wow, I did it, I’m a winner.” It was amazing. In Italy, one can’t race without belonging to a team, so I joined one and made new friends there – a lot of people of different ages and backgrounds. These runner-friends and traveling around the world make the best memories. et Have you faced any challenges? Sometimes during a long race I start thinking ‘why on earth am I doing this?’ But then the feeling on the finish line is unbeatable! And then you start plan-ning your next race and forget about the hardships. et And finally, Ensto’s customer promise is “saves your energy.” How do you save yours? With healthy lifestyle. I try to convey what I believe in: a healthy individual is healthy in several dimensions - emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually, and this is my mission in life and work. Ensto Wellness Motivator is a position of trust appointed to one person at a time, for a period of one year. The task of the Wellness Motivator is to spread the word of the impor-tance of functional exercising and through different cam-paigns motivate Ensto personnel to exercise. @ ensto_wellness Riina Silvennoinen Ensto
