Presidential fitness

Think you're too busy to exercise? If the President of the United States can bike and strength train most days of the week, you can certainly make time to do so. Lots of folks feel lots of different ways about George W. Bush, but the fact of the matter is when it comes to fitness he's the ultimate role model.

He knows that with an incredibly stressful job, two busy daughters and a wife to keep up with skipping workouts is not an option. He needs energy, stress relief, and physical strength to survive each day. Most people would consider being "the most powerful person in the world" an easy excuse to slack on training for four to eight years. Bush doesn't do it and neither should you.

When the pressure increases, you need your workouts more than ever. Get up early, go to sleep late, return to work stinky after a mid-day jog, but don't make lame excuses. Cause if George can do it, so can you!
