At first glance, George W. Bush and Barack Obama have little in common. But the truth is that our 43rd and 44th presidents are two of the most important commanders of the leader we have had powerful evidence that the daily exercise forms the successful man. President Bush raises weights, leads marathons and has a resting heart rate of 43 (fewer elite athletes). And we all know the CRA of the Sports Story of President Obama: the Grassouillet teenager has cleared when he joined the high school basketball team and won the Nickname Barry O'Bomber, thanks to his prowess shooting. We have seen it upgraded 6 feet 2 inches, 180 pounds above a fortune pull-up bar before an important speech. We know that he believes that playing hoops at the electoral days brought him good luck. The fitness is his rock. "The main reason I work is to erase your head and relieve stress," said the president in an exclusive interview. "It's a great way to stay focused." Here's how the "lean but difficult" leader is described on a track. And we have a lot more advice onHow to stay in shape during an occupation.

President Obama worked early in the morning six days a week. "Most of my workouts have to come before my day begins," he says. "Usually, I'm about 45 minutes of exercise." Research shows that a routine gives you better chances of achieving your fitness goals, says Chris Jordan, Physical Condition Director at the Human Performance Institute, senior management training center in Florida. "No matter if you do exercise in the morning, at noon or in the evening," says Jordan. "The key is to sculpt a slit that suits you and who exercises consistently." The benefits are not only physical: exercise makes you feel under tension, raises mood and stimulates vigilance, says Jordan.

President Obama is best known for playing basketball, but most of his workouts actually take place in the gym. "I'll be lifting a day and do the next cardio," he says. "I have been working for a while and I assure me that I do not waste time. My workouts must be effective." It usually uses full-fledged workouts on days of strength, striking a range of free machines and weights. In cardio, he runs on the treadmill or tricks on an exercise bike. "He has a skinny and athletic physique," said Jordan, "So he's doing good things, but that would not hurt if he also touches the rowing machine. It is super efficient and built the top of the body." (Michelle Obama -Probable would not argue with that.)

During all the main primary elections during the campaign (with the exception of New Hampshire, which he lost), President Obama played basketball with breakage and good luck. Obviously, everyone does not have to play basketball, but creating a ritual exercise - a steep hill, swimming as far as possible, doubling one aspect of your workout - to do before an important meeting can Help your performance, said Jordan. The last science supports this superstition: the strong exercise strengthens concentration and improves decision-making skills, according to the research of Arthur F. Kramer, PhD, Professor of Psychology at the University of Illinois.

An advantage that the president has his own "corporal man" or personal assistance, whose name is Reggie Love. A former wide receiver and basketball player from Duke, love accompanies President Obama everywhere, including the gym, where he serves as a training partner. The president listens to his iPod during the workouts and he credits love by introducing him to Jay-Z beats. People who work with a partner or group are more likely to achieve their goals, according to a range of research.

Vice President Al Gore burst his Achilles tendon by playing basketball ... Something on the spirit of President Obama. "My Achilles was a little painful, so I take the ibuprofen before playing," he says. "I extend it too and do exercises to strengthen it." Nicholas Dinuble, MD, executive author, said the president should be cautious because the tendons become vulnerable when men reached their mid-quarantine. It recommends daily sections of calves and an eccentric workout of calves. "Before a match, President Obama should sweat, then make static and dynamic expanses."
