Who is likely to have less time to fit in a workout than our current presidential candidates?

Well… maybe some of the guys on wall street right now but that’s a whole ‘nother story…

I am always interested to hear ways in which those who are extremely busy find the time to workout.  With all the talk
in the news these days about the presidential candidates being ‘fit to lead’, I decided to see what I could dig up on their
workout routines.

Turns out, they’re no different than us.  They too struggle with finding the time to work out.  Here are some of Senator
Obama’s comments on his difficulty finding time…

Some have even spotted his workout routines…

Senator Mccain recently hiked the grand cannyon ‘rim to rim’ with his son in August of 2006…

It seems he prefers to stick to the outdoors as opposed to a more traditional gym workout routine.  In a 60 minutes
report I recently saw, he said he enjoys hiking steep grades.  He claims to not be able to do free-weights due to a shoulder
injury he suffered in Vietnam.  I too have a shoulder injury so I understand.  I do believe they can be worked around.
Maybe MCcain needs one of Achieve Fitness’ personal trainers to come and show him how to work around it .

I can’t personally imagine going through the undertaking that these guys are putting themselves through.  It’s impressive
to see that they can still make time for fitness.  This is the kind of stuff that inspires me to keep on pushing.  I hope it does the same for you.

’til next time,
