at 51. Must have some bad genetics. Hope he recovers quickly.

NEW YORK — Fitness trainer and host of NBC’s “Biggest Loser” Bob Harper says he is recovering from a serious heart attack that left him unconscious for two days.

Harper tells TMZ he was working out in a gym in New York City this month when he collapsed. He says a doctor who also was in the gym performed CPR on him.

When I hear shite like this about people who work their arse off to be healthy and then suffer from heart issues it's a really bummer. Wtf am I doing busting my arse on the treadmill if I'm going to die on it in ten years?

Works out and still nearly drops dead. You can't win.

Probably a heart defect from birth that finally caught up to him.

Irony and life is chuckling at Bob. Too many workout fanatics are as Type A and intense as workaholics. That kind of personality is not healthy for anyone.

keep high heart rate workouts under 20 minutes. Your heart has a shelf life and working it too hard is hazardous for your health.

Isn't there a lot of controversy around the Biggest Loser and the methods they use, including drugs?

They claim he over does it, when working out.

And that this was bound to happen, if he continued going all out, every work out.

Our bodies aren't made to constantly workout or become gigantic. It puts a lot more stress on you than eating fast food ever will. Everything in life is about moderation.
