Fit Profile: Rob

Running seems to be a popular activity here at CAIVIS, but for all it's benefits it can be a bit rough on the body, too. Rob, our editor-in-chief, was diagnosed this week with an arthritic hip which has forced him to hang up his running shoes for good.

A late-comer to the race, he ran his first marathon at age 47, using his training to successfully drop 30 pounds and get back into a much younger man's shape. In addition to running, he's been maintaining that shape with a twice-weekly push-up, pull up and abs routine and the occasional golf, squash and tennis with his wife as well as Bikram yoga, which is yoga in a 105 degree room.

Now that he can no longer participate in his favorite fitness activity, Rob is looking into other ways to stay active and healthy for his two little girls (aged 6 and 8) and his college freshman son. Expect a few humorous posts from him in the future as he explores novice cycling, swimming and other low-impact sports.

And remember - injury is a part of exercise. So no matter what sport you participate in make sure you are doing so in a safe, responsible manner.
