I’m sure the media hates to publish these facts but read the following article. Especially those of you who are from SanFrancisco.
BUSH EXERCISES 6X A WEEK; ‘MOST-FIT’ PRESIDENT IN HISTORY
President Bush turned 59 years old this month and his health is in the “superior” fitness category for men his age – greater than 99% percentile for 55-59 year-old men!
The latest health results make Bush the “most-fit” president in modern history.
He has not had a sick day in the past year – and he works out 6 days a week: Workouts include bicycling (15-20 miles, 15-18mph), treadmill (low impact “hill-work”), elliptical trainer, free weight resistance training, and stretching.
The President takes a daily multi-vitamin, low-dose aspirin, glucosamine/chondroitin, and an omega 3 supplement.
Bush Weight: 191 pounds(last year 199)
Body Composition: Body fat 15.79% (last year 18.25%; normal for age 16.5-20.5%)
I’m not a Bush fan on many topics, but I think that it’s fantastic that he promotes exercise from the White House.
The thing I found interesting about the story I read on this topic this weekend was this moralistic little closer they had that said something to the effect of “Most of us don’t have jobs easy enough to fit excercise in our lives.”
You know, as if taking care of your health was somehow a sign of moral turpitude.
Agreed…the guy is amazing in his ability to keep fit and fit it into his hectic schedule. If the President can find time to exercise given the demands of his job than no one can make the excuse that they don’t have enough time.
He takes about 6 weeks a year in vacation time, he works about 40 hours a week, spends a lot of quality time with his family, and is generally in better physical shape than the average American.
Did you sign his timesheets? How do you know what kind of hours he works?
In addition, fyi, the President is never off duty or off the clock. He’s the President.
Brian you’re the one claiming he has a “hectic schedule” … have you seen his timesheets?
Its common knowledge that Bush is not a burner of the midnight oil and that he spends less time in the office than any President in modern history. Clinton was a workaholic, Bush is not.
