MEN’S HEALTH: Exclusive Barack Obama Interview
Senator Barack Obama opens up in an exclusive interview in the November issue of Men’s Health magazine, on newsstands October 21, 2008, about how health and fitness has driven his success in life, love and leadership.
On Why He Works Out:
“My blood pressure is pretty low, and I tend to be a healthy eater. So I probably could get away with cutting [my workouts] back a little bit. The main reason I do it is just to clear my head and relieve me of stress. It’s a great way to stay focused.”
On Staying Healthy On The Campaign Trail:
“I wish I was getting a 90-minute workout. Most of my workouts have to come before my day starts. There’s always a tradeoff between sleep and working out. Usually I get in about 45 minutes, 6 days a week. I’ll lift one day do cardio the next.”
On Trying To Quit Smoking:
“There have been a couple of times during the campaign when I fell off the wagon and bummed one, and I had to kick it again. But I figure, seeing as I’m running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack.”
“There wasn’t some dramatic moment. Michelle had been putting pressure on me for a while. I was never really a heavy smoker. Probably at my peak I was smoking seven or eight a day. More typical was three. So it wasn’t a huge challenge with huge withdrawal symptoms.”
“Eliminate certain key connections–that first cigarette in the morning, or after a meal, or with a drink. If you can eliminate those triggers, that should help.”
On What He Would Change In The White House:

Good Housekeeping Covers Mama Mia’s Meryl Streep
I’m bias on this post (um, and it’s not the first time I must admit.)
I love Mama Mia star Meryl Streep.
I used to live next door to her in the Village (she lived in a much nicer pad) and she was out working on her garden like any other normal person.

ALLURE’S LINDA WELLS KNOWS HER READER
This is a very strong cover from Linda Wells and Allure Magazine.
With news of a faltering economy and banks closing, the magazine presents and issue with cover lines that don’t scare off the reader.
The main line is “Tons of free Stuff.” That’s cool ’cause you don’t have to buy anything.
What else did she get right?

TV GUIDE CALLS MILEY A MIRACLE?!?
The weekly TV bible is going for a younger audience, which might explain why MIley Cyrus is on the cover this week.
Here’s the problem or problems with this cover.
The main line is terrible. What does “Miracle Miley” mean? I have no idea. Oh wait, maybe she’s got special powers.
Yes. There’s more…
