Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan takes his health seriously. Khans daily fitness routine starts early5 am. He begins with 20 minutes of stretching and then exercises for an hour on his Bowflex Revolution Machinea system that mimics traditional weights through the use of various discs with built-in tension coils. Khan also incorporates dumbbells into his workout, because Im getting old, he said.

Although there is a gym both at the Parliament and the Ministry of Health, Khan says he prefers to workout on his own. Hes even thinking of resuming karate in the near future. On August 12, the minister will host an event organised by the Fight

the Fat Campaign at the Queens Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain, to encourage people to follow his example, get active, eat healthy diets and lead more fulfilling lives. The event, part of a campaign launched by the ministry in November 2011, is open to the public and is free.
