What do you do after a whirlwind day in which you do a couple of fairly important things like, oh, I don't know, get yourself elected as the president of the United States of America? Well, if you're Barack Obama, you head to the gym. Despite likely getting very little sleep, Obama spent his first morning as President Elect at the gym. That is, after a breakfast with his family, a ritual he said he missed most while burning up the campaign trail.

According to reports, Obama hit the gym "wearing a dark baseball cap and sunglasses, [then] sped away in his motorcade for a few blocks to the gym near his house ... The new president-elect, who played his traditional election-day game of basketball on Tuesday with some friends and staff members before the polls closed, stayed inside the gym for about an hour."

Well, I can't think of any better way to start the first day of a new job than with a good workout. What about you?

Reese Witherspoon has been looking pretty fantastic lately and while she certainly can attribute some of that to her jogging sessions with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, she's also giving credit to a new workout invented by her personal trainer, Matthew Reyes, called YogaHop.

Reyes explains, "Most people think yoga is all granola and hippies, so I love to explain how YogaHop is not like that. Imagine all the benefits of Hatha Yoga, then add chart music that will have you bouncing into the poses." Reese obviously agrees, as she tries to attend the 90-minute class two or three times a week, occasionally taking Jake along with her.

It's hard for me to picture, but I can imagine how joining the flexibility of practicing yoga with a more upbeat, energetic workout would be fun. Have you ever tried YogaHop, or anything like it? Because, if it's good enough for Reese, I'm thinking it's good enough for me.
