    First TV Show

    In 2005, he made his TV show debut on the reality game show The Biggest Loser as a trainer (himself).

    Personal Trainer

    Bob hits the gym 6 days a week. Depending on his fitness needs and his desire to explore, he keeps changing his workout routines regularly. He goes for lifting and does high-intensity exercises when he wants to add muscle mass and cranks cardio up when he feels there is some holiday indulgence to be taken care of.

    Later, he fell in love with CrossFit workouts because no other workout style could challenge him in his more than two decades of stay in the fitness industry. His favorite type of CrossFit workout is the chipper workout, in which you don’t focus on performing as many reps as possible of exercises but try to finish a set number of reps. This type of workout takes longer to finish, so makes your heart work harder for a longer period. You can find one such workout here.

    Bob is also a big fan of yoga. He also tries to fit other physical activities such as cycling, running and snowboarding in his routine.

    When it comes to diet, he has been as disciplined as anyone. However, after suffering a heart attack, he has switched to the Mediterranean diet to lower risks of any heart problem in the near future.
