Trump crackpot idea about exercise

Trump crackpot idea about exercise President Donald Trump has a theory why exercise is bad. "Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy," writes Evan Osnos in the May 8, edition of the New Yorker. That's far from the first time we've heard that Trump and exercise aren't friends. This, from a February 6 piece in Axios: "The only<b> workout </font></b>Trump gets is an occasional round of golf. Even then, he mostly travels by cart. On the campaign trail he viewed his rallies as his form of exercise." In their revelatory book "Trump Revealed," the Washington Post's Mike Kranisch and Marc Fisher wrote more extensively about Trump's "battery" theory of energy: After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn't work out. When he learned that John O'Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, "You are going to die young because of this." And then there was this from a 2015 New York Times magazine profile of Trump: Trump said he was not following any special diet or exercise regimen for the campaign. '''All my friends who work out all the time, they're going for knee replacements, hip replacements — they're a disaster,'' he said. He exerts himself fully by standing in front of an audience for an hour, as he just did. 'That's exercise.'" While the generally-held belief within the medical community is that exercise is good for you, I did find one study from 2015 published in Circulation magazine that suggested people who exercised strenuously 4-7 times a week were at increased risk for vascular disease when compared to those who exercise strenuously 2-3 times a week. Of course, that study's findings don't apply to Trump who exercises zero times a week -- unless you count the time he spends golfing or hitting balls during his regular weekend visits to his golf clubs. |

Well now we know that Melania is not having sex with that man (bringing it to why you would post this on a sex site hahahhaha). This morning I heard that on one of his speeches in Saudi Arabia, he was winded and breathy. Is it horrible that I am hoping that the man will have a heart attack and that will be the end of his presidency (note that I did not say "drop dead". having a heart attack could be his excuse to give up being president). kk The observant make the best lovers, I may not do right, but I do write, I have bliss, joy, and happiness in my life, Kitkat Come check out my blog KItkat1415 check out this post by me Adventures In Body Grooming #39 April Topic Link: What Lies Beneath If April Showers Oh Bloody Hell What Kind Of Weather Turns Me On Bloggers Symposium 40
