Michelle Obama used to join a friend for 4:30 a.m. workouts,  and Barack Obama usually starts his day in the gym.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Obama has hosted &#8220;The  View,&#8221; been interviewed on &#8220;60 Minutes,&#8221; graced the cover of Newsweek and hit  the campaign trail, all with her buff arms bared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the things I always  talk about is got to exercise,&#8221; the 44-year-old mother of two told an  overwhelmingly female crowd at a campaign event last year in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s sure to continue when  the Obamas and their girls    10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha    move into  the White House, which has plenty of places for them to stay active.<\/p>\n<p>Fitness is a tradition for  residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. President George W. Bush is an avid mountain  biker, former President Bill Clinton jogged around Washington and former  President George H.W. Bush liked to golf and jog, play tennis and pitch  horseshoes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most of my workouts have to  come before my day starts,&#8221; Barack Obama, 47, told Men&#8217;s Health magazine in an  interview for its November issue. &#8220;There&#8217;s always a trade-off between sleep and  working out. Usually I get in about 45 minutes, six days a week. I&#8217;ll lift one  day, do cardio the next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His preference, he said, would  be to work out for 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>On the campaign trail, even  during the busiest periods, Obama made it a priority to start the day with a  workout. That often meant a small motorcade of Secret Service agents and  reporters following him to a local gym.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Obamas work fitness into daily routine\" href=\"http:\/\/license.icopyright.net\/user\/viewFreeUse.act?fuid=MjAwNjAzMw==\" target=\"_blank\">Continued&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHICAGO -Many women recoil at the thought of baring their arms in sleeveless dresses or blouses, but not Michelle Obama half of the fabulously fit new first couple.
