Edwin Jimenez knows a thing or two about staying physically fit.
“I grew up on a farm-style ranch in California, and I helped the workers in the fields,” he remembered. “After that I spent 22 years in the Marines, where fitness is required. I’ve always been in good shape.”
Even after retiring from the military and moving to a civil service career, you could find him at the gym after work. So it took him by surprise when a routine checkup revealed a problem.
