It's the latest step in Al Gardner's battle against cancer.
Al [AM Drive host of 1110 AM, 99.3 FM WBT] is 64 years old and has locally advanced, high risk prostate cancer.
But he's in the best shape of his life, reports WBTV.com.
He boxes...he's a runner and recently completed a half marathon...he plays softball and is an avid golfer.
"I don't see this as fitness. I see this as a life saver," said Gardner.
A recent study by the Harvard School of Public Health and University of California, San Francisco...found that physical activity is associated with a lower risk of overall mortality and of death due to prostate cancer.
It also found that men who did more vigorous activity had the lowest risk of dying.
"Cancer hates exercise. And it talked about the extra level of fitness, not just going for a spandex job, but real boxing, or something real that's harsh on the body, how that actually can regress some of the symptoms of a high risk prostate cancer," said Gardner.
