PAUL BUSINESS JOURNAL MAY 18, 2021  \nPROFESSIONAL SERVICES  \nBETTER THAN EVER: Robins Kaplan chairman on why he seeks adventure  \nBY KIM JOHNSON  \nEditorial Director of Events and Special Projects, Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal  \nWhen your idea of a vacation is tackling Mount Everest Base Camp or summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, you need to be in good physical condition.  \nFrom a young age, Ron Schutz has always enjoyed an active lifestyle, and between growing up on a dairy farm to four years in the Army JAG Corps, that was also a job requirement. Now chairman of Minneapolis law firm Robins Kaplan, he has to be a little more creative and intentional about how, where and when he fits in an exercise routine. But he credits that dedication to maintaining a healthy lifestyle to helping him through recovery after a Leukemia diagnosis and treatment in 2016.  \nSchutz recently shared with the Business Journal how and why he trains for the challenging adventures he loves.  \nOn well-being  \nHow long has wellness been a priority in your life, and why did you make it a priority? I grew up on a dairy farm doing hard physical work from an early age. I played varsity sports in high school and intramural sports in college and law school. After law school, l spent four years in the Army JAG Corps stationed with the 7th Infantry Division where being in great physical condition was an essential part of the job. And that has never changed for me. Being in top physical condition gives a person a competitive edge in business and life.  \nHow do you typically start your day? When I roll out of bed, I wiggle my hands and toes and thank the Lord that I live to fight another day. I then pick up my iPhone and scroll through my emails to see if anything needs immediate attention. Next, I make a protein shake and spend about 10 minutes reading The Wall Street Journal. I then proceed with my morning workout, which varies depending on the day of the week, but always starts with 10 minutes of yoga stretching.  \nHow do you typically end your day? If I am not traveling, which was frequent for me pre-pandemic, most days after I get home from work I will do a shorter second workout — hitting the heavy  \nRobins Kaplan chairman Ron Schutz walks 28 flights of stairs four times a day at his office.  \nbag in the winter or swimming in the summer. My wife and I will then sit down for dinner and catch up on the events of the day. After that, I usually check emails again and do some pleasure reading. Once or twice a week my wife and I will watch an episode of a TV series before we head to bed.  \nWhat is your typical fitness routine? My routine varies depending on whether I am training for some event and what that event is. But my base workout four days a week is running 4 miles, the last 2 miles of which are high-intensity intervals. The other three days of the week I do strength training. In addition, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I take my iPad and climb the stairs in my office tower, usually totaling 100 flights, but ifI am in training mode, 200 flights. If I am training for a triathlon, I will increase the length of my runs and add a bike component. I am also a fan of Wim Hof’scold training and follow his minimalist dress code on my winter runs.  \nHow has your regular fitness routine been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic? I’ve been able to exercise more. Pre-pandemic I would take 35 to 40 trips a year, and business travel always makes  \nThis article appeared in the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal on May 18, 2021.
