There’s more than political change in the White House; it appears we have a Commander-in-Chief who is fitter than the last few, and that can only be good publicity for the fitness cause!
Everyone saw the photograph of a bare-chested Obama strolling Sandy Beach in Hawaii in December. Strong pecs, a trim stomach. Not since the equally glamorous John F. Kennedy wandered into the surf at Santa Monica in the early ’60s has a president generated as much buzz over his physique.
“Even when he’s on the road, the president doesn’t miss a workout. During the campaign, the Post reported, staff members called ahead to gyms in cities Obama visited, requesting the facility open early or stay open late to accommodate the candidate. Today, Obama can use the workout equipment on Air Force One.

Truth is, when our leaders take a leadership role in health and fitness, it gives us all a boost!
Hi Lani-
This is certainly an interesting post- but I find myself remaining rather incredulous that while everyone is talking about how ‘fit’ and ‘buff’ the new President is, no one talks about the fact that he SMOKES!
Until that changes, I just can’t buy into him being a true health and fitness fanatic…sorry!
