How President Obama and the First Lady stay fit amid political pressures

Now that the election whirlwind has ended, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama face four more years of high-pressure situations, whirlwind schedules and political demands. How do they stay healthy in the White House? They rely on a combination of fitness and a sensible diet, both of which provide great role models for their daughters.

At 51, President Obama maintains an active lifestyle, reported the Huffington Post on Nov. 6. He's succeeded in kicking his cigarette addiction, and has no physical problems other than occasional upper back pain, for which he sees a physical therapist. The President frequently plays golf with his buddies, according to E! Online. And he's a basketball lover, even playing hoops on election days as part of his treasured traditions, according to USA Today on Nov. 6. As for his diet, First Lady Michelle Obama gives instructions to the chefs each day to ensure that the family eats right, she told the Huffington Post in June. They enjoy dinners that typically feature "a meat, a grain, vegetables, and salad. If I'm trying to be lean I'll just do a salad." Snacks are equally healthy, such as "a vegetable tray or sometimes a protein shake." One of her favorite lunches: "Veggie pizza on whole wheat bread."

The First Lady also has an active lifestyle. After getting up at 4:30 a.m., she heads to the gym for a cardio and strength-training session, noting to the Daily Beast, "I usually get to the gym before (the President) does. But he is usually there either in the middle of my workout or right at the end." In addition, Michelle incorporates yoga and Pilates into her schedule to stay flexible. And she doesn't let traveling interfere with her fitness.
