Given the upcoming holiday, it is only fitting that for this month’s Fit Celebrity of the Month (FCoM) I’ve picked George W. Bush. Whether you agree or disagree with his politics, it is undeniable that the President is in good physical shape. He follows a solid workout regimen that includes running, swimming, freeweights, and the elliptical trainer. Some stats about the President:
-Can bench press 215 pounds
-Runs a 7 minute mile
-Personal best for a marathon is 3 hours and 44 minutes in 1993
-Runs up to 24 miles a week
-Body fat percentage in 2001 was 14.5%
The President’s fitness level demonstrates that he shares the same motto as me, “sound body, sound mind.” A state of physical wellbeing is necessary to be able to deal with the pressures of being President.
So there you have it.
