You have to step into something really different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ginsberg preaches what she practices. As a women\u2019s health professional, she advocates healthy living habits and aging gracefully when she\u2019s on the clock. Off the clock, she follows a strict fitness regimen that often inspires other women to get active.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith races and workouts that I do, patients tell me it\u2019s motivating because it doesn\u2019t matter how old you get,\u201d she said. \u201cI can show people, show my patients: don\u2019t complain. Just do something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every Monday, Ginsberg works out for an hour in her West University home with her personal trainer; she starts at 5:30 a.m., before rounds in the OR. She does a series of intensive strength-training exercises using a $10 jump rope she bought from Academy Sports + Outdoors, a set of 15-pound barbells, a BOSU ball and ankle weights. After work, she swims laps for an hour at a nearby gym.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesdays, she spends her evenings interval training on the track at Lamar High School. On Wednesdays, she weight-lifts from 5 to 6 p.m., followed by an hour-long spin class at Angie\u2019s House of Pain and a 1.5-mile run.<\/p>\n<p>Ginsberg runs six to seven miles on Thursday mornings and caps off her week with a 12- to 22-mile run on Saturdays and a 30- to 100-mile bike ride around Memorial Park on Sundays.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an exhausting weekly ritual, but it\u2019s necessary to keep her in tip-top shape. She always wears a pair of socks with a running theme under her scrubs to remind her of her mantra: \u201cThe miracle isn\u2019t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage start.\u201d It\u2019s a quote from marathon runner John \u201cThe Penguin\u201d Bingham.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just about race day,\u201d Ginsberg said. \u201cIt\u2019s about the motivation to train and about never giving up. It\u2019s the road you take to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ginsberg completed the USA Triathlon National Championships in Omaha, Nebraska, in August 2016. She continues to train in hopes of one day running the Italian Ferrari Memorial Marathon and China\u2019s Great Wall Marathon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAME: Dian Ginsberg, M.D. OCCUPATION: Obstetrician-Gynecologist at Memorial Hermann \u2013 Texas Medical Center INTEREST: IRONMAN, Triathlons Dian Ginsberg, M.D., often rushes from seeing patients in her clinic to delivering babies in the operating room.
