RIP Robert Kennedy, The Fitness World Lost A Great Mentor

I was quite shocked to open up my email today and see a message from Oxygen (well I wasn’t shocked about that part) but I was shocked what the message contained:

The Kennedy's (http://www.bodybuildingweekly.com)

An announcement for Robert Kennedy’s death.

If you’re unfamiliar with Mr. Kennedy maybe you are familar with his work: his publishing company is responsible for such magazines as Oxygen; Glutes; Clean Eating, and this listen can go on pretty much all day.

To say he is a common name in the fitness world is an understatement.

When I first started getting in shape many moons ago, I found myself reading Oxygen all the time. I wanted to be one of those models… to have their bodies and their confidence. At the beginning of each issue, Mr. Kennedy always wrote a special “motivational letter” to us readers. He kept me coming back each month for a new one.

Then I picked up Tosca Reno’s book The Eat Clean Diet… Tosca is Robert’s wife and together these two have done wonders with the clean eating world. A few years back I had the opportunity to interview Tosca (you can hear it here).

At the time she was just getting big (now she’s huge) but she was so humble and nice. I can only assume that her husband was the same.

Robert Kennedy passed away at the age of 73 from a long battle with cancer, so sad. In our day in time, 73 is still so young.

So today, my thoughts and prayers are with the Kennedy family and friends.
