Barack Obama's Fitness Regimen: Hoops, Treadmills, And Trail Mix

ABC News:

Snacks of fruit, pistachios and Fiji water. Grueling cardio sessions at the gym. And ruthless five-on-five games on the basketball court.

Sounds like an obsessive health or fitness nut -- or Barack Obama, who just finished a marathon 21-month campaign to win the presidency.

Since the end of one of the most combative elections in American history, the president-elect is routinely caught emerging from his daily gym workout in his trademark black White Sox cap and white Asics sneakers

Oh Lawd that hand!!!!

[NewCenturyWoman]

What do you mean by "that hand." Good or bad???

[Fongenie]

She means it in a good way. I think she means the size of it.

[Fongenie]

Do I see some guns up under that shirt? Wow. I think I do. That's hot.

[NewCenturyWoman]

Check out the rest of the story. There's a pix of him in the water when he was in Hawaii this past summer where he is not wearing a shirt, of course. He does have a nice muscular chest and nice abs for a 47-year-old.

[Chibikim]

My god he's a fine lookin man!

[kotexbarbie]

Enough! I don't want another gym rat president. I liked BC because he got a B*j and he jogged a little.

i worked out at the W hotel with obama last year in new york. his cardio is not "grueling"- its pretty average. the funny part is i initialy thought he "looked like" barack obama- i told him if he lost 10 ilbs he would look like obama! when he smiled i said ooops; we both laughed and got on with our 46 yr old cardio. as i left i told him that if i lost 20 ilbs i might be good looking and we shared a laugh. thrilled that a "normal" guy is president-elect and not some over-fed old guy.

[zenwhenicanbe2]

I'm jealous! I wanna share a laugh with Obama

[Yola]

NOthing "average" about our guy!

[harriscrl3]

He is such an overachiever. In HIgh school the annoyed most people but GOSH its so daarn good to have that quality in a President.

I'm almost done reading "Dreams from My Father."
The irony of that is, in school he WASN'T much of an overachiever! Matter of fact, you could have called him a late bloomer! He didn't really hit his stride, I don't think, until he went to Columbia junior year. He quit doing all the self-destructive things he was doing and got serious...­.and the rest is history...­. :-D

[NewCenturyWoman]

Gotta love that body--in and and out of clothes. HeHe.

[Chibikim]

As Quagmire on Family Guy would say...
Giggity..G­iggity..GI­GGITY!

[tr24]

I guess YOU would quote a cartoon.

[ZimboChick]

lol Quagmire is EVEREADY lol

[tr24]

And don't forget his daily dose of BS.

[Chibikim]

Ah the stuff you eat too?

[ZimboChick]

toxicity

[Sigrid]

That's all fine, but FIJI WATER???? What about filtered from the tap? We need to stop the plastic bottles and stop the shipping of water from around the world when our water is fine. Otherwise, Obama is my man.

[NoVA forObama]

a man after my own heart...I love Fiji water...

[Fongenie]

What's it taste like? I never had some.

[berryessence]

HEY LEAVE FIJI WATER ALONE

If it wasn't for FIJI Water during Desert Storm, I would've died of thirst waiting for a SCHINOOK to land for more POW Iraqi Soldiers.

I had 6 2-liter bottles all were hot BUT my FIJI Bottle.

THIS WATER IS SO GOOOD.....­.. AND I BUY IT EVERY CHANCE I GET!

Did you know that FIJI sent their water to Desert Storm as their way of contributing to the UN

"and the amount of work he does for a man his age, he is above average."

gee, ya' think?

[Chibikim]

Sure he looks good, but have you seen what he eats lol. He's got one hell of a metabolism. Oh and kudos for the link of him in a swimsuit. Now I cant stop looking at his hot physique ^^

[kellygrrrl]

he is clearly genetically blessed

[NewCenturyWoman]

Thanks for the insight.

[quiviran]

Ladies! Ladies! Compose yourselves!

[ZimboChick]

so hardddd

[dovelove]

He eats very healthy. I read the Newsweek article and they joke about they never saw him eat the food he would order from those family owned greasy spoons, but stuck to fish and vegetables.
