Subject: Bush Campaigns for Physical Fitness
Bush Campaigns for Physical Fitness
By Jennifer Loven
Associated Press Writer
Thursday, June 20, 2002; 9:31 AM
President Bush urged Americans on Thursday to make themselves and their
nation healthier through exercise, proper diet and regular checkups.
"The evidence is clear: A healthier America is a stronger America," the
president said while kicking off a four-day fitness campaign.
Overseeing an exercise fair under way in the backyard of the White
House, Bush said poor health weakens the nation through the high cost of
fighting disease and illness. The nation spends $183 billion to fight
heart disease alone, a figure that could be trimmed along with
waistlines, he said.
"Better health is an individual responsibility and an important
national goal," the president said.
Bush watched children run soccer drills on a small field on the South
Grounds of the White House, stopping to shake hands and autograph
t-shirts. One girl giggled as the president almost - but not quite -
stopped the ball she kicked to him. After moving on to an exhibit on
fitness for city children, Bush said he was planning to work out later
in the day. "I'm going to run, I'm going to lift weights, do some
elliptical training," he said, sweat soaking through the back of his
button-down shirt.
Outlined in a a 16-page, red-white-and-blue booklet, his HealthierUs
initiative calls for at least a half-hour of exercise every day for
adults and more for children; eating smaller portions of more nutritious
foods; regular preventive health screenings; and avoidance of any risky
behaviors, especially involving alcohol, tobacco and illegal drugs.
Bush urged Americans to take walks, play with their kids in their yards
and engage in various other exercise. Cancer deaths could be cut by
one-third if people changed their diets and exercised, he said.
"When it comes to your health, even little steps can make a
difference," Bush said. The booklet's recommendations include merely
using a push mower on the lawn instead of the riding type, exercising
portion control at mealtime, getting a flu shot and hand-washing
regularly.
The backdrop for Bush's announcement was a fitness expo that took over
the expansive White House South Lawn. Workers - briefly interrupted by
an evacuation of the executive mansion Wednesday night - had turned the
area into essentially a large outdoor gym and recreation area.
About 1,500 visitors - White House staff and their families, senior
citizens and children from schools, summer camps, clubs and Special
Olympics organizations - had their pick of informational booths offering
everything from body-mass-index assessments to diabetes screenings to
nutritional advice. Physical activity was promoted through batting
cages, aerobics classes, and kickboxing and boot camp demonstrations by
trainers from a nearby luxury gym. Celebrity sports clinics - on soccer
by Washington Freedom player Mia Hamm, on basketball with New York
Knicks star Allan Houston and on football with the Washington Redskins -
showcased still more exercise options.
On Friday in Orlando, Fla., Bush will promote "age-appropriate"
exercise, capped by a workout with willing participants from a local
senior center. On Saturday, about 400 Bush employees are joining the
president in a 3-mile race at nearby Fort McNair.
Finally, the presidential focus on fitness will end Sunday with more
T-ball on the White House lawn.
