Physical fitness isn’t just important for one’s physical health, it can be critical to one’s general well being. For one young man fitness not only improved his health, it arguably saved his life.
Doug Bopst is a 31-year-old personal trainer from Maryland who owns his own training business. Before he became interested in physical fitness, he was far from fit. As a teenager and young adult, he didn’t exercise, ate unhealthily, and had a several-hundred-dollar-a-day painkiller addiction. He was also selling large quantities of marijuana.
