WASHINGTON: Do no longer be expecting US President Donald Trump to hit the gymnasium, in spite of his doctor's orders.
He gets numerous exercise at the golf route and on the White House complex, the president informed Reuters on Wednesday.
"I get exercise. I mean I walk, I this, I that," Trump, 71, mentioned during an Oval Office interview. "I run over to a building next door. I get more exercise than people think."
Dr. Ronny Jackson, the White House doctor, mentioned on Tuesday that Trump was in very good well being general but had to shed extra pounds, devour better, and spoil a sweat more regularly.
The fast-food-loving Trump praised Jackson, who has served as a physician to previous presidents, but appeared wary of taking the not-so-subtle suggestion to use the White House's exercise facilities.
"A lot of people go to the gym and they'll work out for two hours and all. I've seen people ... then they get their new knees when they're 55 years old and they get their new hips and they do all those things. I don't have those problems," Trump mentioned.
He did say he was open to converting his nutrition, perhaps with smaller portion sizes on White House meals.
Trump's predecessors, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican George W. Bush, have been fitness lovers, but Trump has no daily exercise routine. He gets exercise by way of playing golf, he mentioned, even supposing he normally rides around the route in a golf cart.
Walking would go away him at the route longer than he prefers, he mentioned. "I don't want to spend the time."
Trump is considered obese and borderline overweight at 6 toes three inches (1.nine meters) tall and 239 kilos (108 kg).
"Most of us could lose a couple of pounds," he mentioned, earlier than scanning the Reuters reporters within the room and pronouncing them in "pretty good shape."
As for his mental acuity, Trump was fast to notice his doctor's pronouncement that he aced a cognitive exam, which he referenced with a dig at predecessors Obama, Bush and Bill Clinton for no longer doing more to curb threats from North Korea.
"I guess they all realized they're going to have to leave it to a president that scored the highest on tests. What can I tell you?" he mentioned.
Regarding his physical well being, he mentioned he had dieted effectively earlier than.
"I've always been more of a believer in diet 'cause I'm strong, you know? I hit the ball far. I mean, I'm strong, physically," he mentioned.
"The people that do the food at the White House are extraordinary, but I think they can maybe make the portions a little bit smaller and maybe we'll cut out some of the more fattening ingredients," he mentioned. "And I'm OK with that."
