Robert Padilla, 44, is a California Highway Patrol officer and K-9 handler.

"As a K-9 handler we have to ... take turns getting into bite suits and taking multiple bites from different dogs," Padilla says. "Your body gets twisted and torqued. Staying fit helps me get up the next morning after I've been in that bite suit."
