As you know, I voted, donated and stumped in the primary and general election for Obama.  I cried at the foot of the TV watching his speech, not just on November 4th, but virtually every time he did speak.

I love the fact that he is physically involved in leading life, this country and the world (all of it is watching) while staying committed to health and fitness.  Reportedly played basketball with staff members after voting on Tues and then spending 90 minutes in a workout this morning before meetings with aides on those infamous PDBs.

Mr. Obama remained largely out of public view on Thursday. He went for a morning workout about 9:30 a.m., returning to his home about 90 minutes later. NYTimes, November 6 2008

The Skinny Black Guy didn’t get that way without some work.  Yep, 90 minutes is normal.  He is modeling the behavior  that the rest of us need to keep up with the changes that are coming.

Turns out, my girlfriend in Chicago taught Sasha and Malia ballet on Saturday mornings.  Something I know she will probably miss as they move to DC.

So, get ready folks.  Get with the new program – asparagus, 90 minute workouts and no cigarettes!
