Obama works on fitness, quitting smoking
Bethany has been wondering what presidential candidate Barack Obama would address in his November Men's Health article. Now we know -- the magazine, with Obama gracing the cover, is currently on newsstands.So, Bethany, and all others who are dying to know what this man has to say, here's a sneak peak.
Obama reports that he works out for 45 minutes, six days a week. Sometimes it's a squeeze to get his workout in, and he admits there are times when sleep trumps time at the gym. When he does make it to the gym, he goes before he starts his work day. And while there, the 47-year-old lifts one day and does cardio the next. Obama's wish -- besides scoring that job as President of the United States -- is that his exercise sessions were longer. A 90-minute workout would be ideal.

It's easy to assume that someone with a great physique must be an expert on health and fitness, but that may not necessarily be the case. Their advice, though well-intentioned, may not exactly be sound. Remember, not all great players make great coaches (ask Isiah Thomas). The approach to fitness these individuals take may work well for them, but for you they could potentially lead to disaster.

Like L.L. Cool J, I can't live without my radio. And just as he does, I like my music loud -- especially when I'm working out. But unlike the time when "my radio" literally meant my radio (when guys would walk around with enormous boom box radios carried up against their ear), these days it's all about .MP3 players.
