Weeks into his personal fitness journey, Governor Ralph DLG. Torres is encouraging residents – and challenging his Cabinet – to join him.
Governor Torres embarked on this mission on a challenge by mixed martial arts professional Frank “The Crank” Camacho to live and lead fit. Camacho created a diet and exercise program for Governor Torres, and he is feeling the results.
“I have more energy, and that equates to more time with my family,” Governor Torres said.
Governor Torres is taking his fitness more seriously, and he is also meeting with a physical trainer and a nutritionist to be able to reach his personal goals. “But this level of effort is not required for anyone in the community to strive for, only that they should do what they can to start living healthier”, he said.
“Good health is a tremendous defense against the effects of COVID-19. We have worked together to protect our community by wearing our masks, washing our hands, and watching our distance. The next step is to take control of our physical health and wellbeing,” Governor Torres added.
“It is important that we continue to employ the 3Ws, but it is also imperative that we do more to steer our people from the worst-case scenario,” he added. “Even outside of COVID-19, good health is a great defense against other ailments like high blood pressure and diabetes.”
In addition to getting cardio work in, waking up early in the morning also means Governor Torres is able to get an early start to working for the people of the Commonwealth. He is hopeful, too, that members of his Cabinet will join the movement and start living and leading fit.
“My work day starts earlier, and I am good with this. Day in and day out, this gives me more time to dialogue with my senior staff about the business of serving our people,” Governor Torres said.
“I am committed to live fit and lead fit, and I hope to motivate the Cabinet to join this journey.”
Governor Torres will continue to provide progress updates and information on upcoming initiatives.
