Healthy Hero: Police Lieutenant Rob K.
Here at That's Fit, we're forever grateful for the service, courage and sacrifice made by the heroic men and women who serve as military, law enforcement officers, and firefighters. We're so grateful, that we'd like to dedicate some features to both showing our heroes off, and learning a little bit in the process as well. If you serve your country courageously, are a veteran or know someone who does, please return this form completed to Fitz along with a photo and we'll share your story with the world.
Name: Rob K.
Age: 42
Heroic occupation: Police Lieutenant
If you're in the military...where are you? N/A
How often do you exercise? Five times each week.
What type of exercise do you do? Running, strength training, lots of pull-ups, and a variety of cardio machines.
What gets you to workout, even when you're feeling lazy? The knowledge that I'll be glad I did when I'm done. I also feel that the most rewarding workout is the one that you didn't want to do in the first place.
Favorite healthy food? White chicken and turkey.
Favorite not-so-healthy food? Chocolate
Greatest fitness accomplishment? Running a 5K race in 15:48.
How does fitness apply to your job? I have to be able to catch and control bad guys. Best part of your job? Helping give people closure, and the knowledge that we're preventing other people from becoming victims.
Best fitness advice? Be reasonable and try to stick to things that you like. Then you'll be more likely to stay with it. Set goals as well, even small ones. I set many small goals throughout each workout.
Anything you'd like to add about your service? I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do this job. It can be extremely rewarding if you embrace it and work hard at it.
**Thanks Lt. Rob. I bet those bad guys wish you weren't in such great shape!
