As he always says “Put Your Feet First”.
To stay physically active, Dr. Nejat participates in the yearly Malibu Triathlon. Throughout the rest of the year, he trains by attending indoor cycling classes, swimming in the ocean or doing laps in the pool, and weight training in the comfort of his garage. His wife often joins him in the weight-lifting, while his elementary school age twin girls attempt to do chin-ups between sets.
