The 2016 Fitness Race: Andrew Cuomo

Andrew Cuomo

The 2016 Presidential election might be more than a year away, but the next presidential hopefuls are already coming to the forefront. The President of the U.S. is not only the leader of the free democratic world, but also an example to us, our children, and indeed the rest of the world. Because of this, presidents have a moral and ethical responsibility to serve as a good example – and this extends to the way they live their lives as well.

“The president’s job is a very stressful one that requires him or her to be on duty 24/7. The stress that they are exposed to can affect their health so drastically that if they don’t maintain a healthy lifestyle, they can be subjected to any number of chronic illnesses – both physical and mental,” said HFR Founder Samir Becic. We are noticing an increase in healthy and fit heads of state in other countries who are becoming dominant world leaders. With this article we hope to make sure that our future president is healthy and fit in order to improve this country, so that it can continue to be a dominant force in the world for decades to come.

“Our future president will have much more competition than the previous presidents because of where the modern world is heading – and against other leaders whose views differ, such as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.” – Samir Becic

With this being said, HFR is politically neutral and not affiliated with any political party.

Here at Health Fitness Revolution, we did a combination of research on each of these politicians through various interviews, internet sources, library, industry literature and videos. This project was led by HFR founder Samir Becic, who is a leader in the industry and has knowledge and experience of over two decades as a health and fitness professional, coupled with his experience as a four-time No. 1 Fitness Trainer in the World.

Hopefully this motivates these presidential hopefuls to improve their nutrition, fitness and advocacy about healthy lifestyle in the next couple years – who knows, maybe in our next report card, we can give them all A’s! This list is ranked in alphabetical order and frequently updated:

ANDREW CUOMO, 56

FITNESS GRADE: A-

(Note: Previous grade was A-)

Andrew Cuomo is no stranger to us. In the past, he had made our Top 10 Fittest Governors list and Top 10 Fittest American Politicians list. He is the father of three girls who play soccer and run track. In fact, he loves fitness so much that he has established Sept. 26 as Women’s Health and Fitness Day in New York. He also has a boxing gym with weights at his home. Aside from boxing, he also jogs for at least two to three hours a week. He participated in whitewater rafting and created the Adirondack Challenge.

Samir’s Report and Recommendations: Andrew Cuomo is in great shape, and is a great example for other politicians. As I would recommend with all other politicians, he should take some time alone to de-stress and re-center himself daily. Since he established Women’s Health and Fitness Day in New York, he clearly likes spreading the idea of healthy lifestyle to his constituents. Because we couldn’t find much on his eating habits, I recommend he follow a balanced diet in addition to his fitness regimen.

Update: Cuomo continues to be in great shape. He is now adding more sports to his fitness regimen, like whitewater rafting. My recommendation is to continue adding more activities to his fitness list.
