Another Reason I Like Barack And The First Lady-Elect
(Paraphrased from several articles- see main link below)
President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors.
On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym. The President-Elect gyms six times a week. Mainly free weights, 50lb overhead dumbbell extensions, 80lb calf rises, 45-minute gym sessions six days a week. Michelle Obama: cross-training, a mix of strength and cardio exercises usually involving weights, treadmill and stair-stepper, 90-minute sessions three times a week beginning at 430 AM.
And now Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed that he and Obama have been talking serious weights and possible job opportunities.
The California governor and former bodybuilding champion’s jibes during the campaign about “scrawny” Obama seem to have struck home. Arnie says the President-Elect intends to build a huge gym in the White House and wants his help in “bulking up”. No more skinny Mr Nice Guy.
SKIDROWDUDE: And another reason to think Brits are strange- the UK Telegraphy author says:
“I have still to meet a New York woman who is anything but wowed that Michelle is on the machines by 4.30am. In London, such behaviour would generally be regarded as borderline sociopathic.”

I have to admit I also do not get the obsession to get up at insane times to exercise, but yet these same people drive three blocks to go to the gym. I am in shape owing to the fact that I don’t have a car (no i don’t do the cycling around the world thing, i like reading, you can’t read on a bike) I walk, stay away from fastfood, and eat with common sense when it’s meal time. 4:30 am that’s morning lovin’ time…lol…
