Is The Physical Shape Of Our Presidential Candidates Important
Being in excellent physical shape doesn’t make you a better debater, but it would be comforting to know that our future leaders can walk up a flight of stairs without losing their breath. We see them at rallies walk up on stage, but that doesn’t really count.
Our Presidential political candidates look as if they are in excellent physical shape given the fact that they campaign tirelessly and keep a schedule that most of us will never really understand. How do they always look fresh as they take on the media? Endless cups of coffee? Power naps? A professional make-up stylist? All of the above? Or maybe they’re doing some cardio workouts behind those pointed cameras as a way to keep their stamina and spirits up. You have to wonder. Nobody is talking about it.
Would it be more assuring to fellow workout enthusiasts to see our candidates go for a jog, pump some iron, do a little Yoga or Pilates? A lot of voters vote on that one issue dear to their hearts. Are candidates missing out on the “fitness” vote? Being in excellent physical shape is not a prerequisite for Presidential candidates, but it would be nice to know that they’ll have stamina for four long years.
