Be Active: Rob Williams


B. Sc. Kinesiology 1992

"Fitness shouldn't dominate or consume your life, but rather should make the rest of your life more enjoyable and effortless. It's all about balance."

"Physical balance in your body and personal balance between family, work, play, fitness and so on."

"Sometimes the balance gets slightly off, as it will for everyone now and then, but good general fitness and a well-designed exercise program is the cornerstone to lasting health, wellness and productivity. "
