From The Mistic River Press?..
Paul Ryan?s dogged commitment to fitness and healthy living can be traced to 1986 when, at age 16, he found his father dead of a heart attack in the family?s Janesville, Wis., home.
The elder Ryan had become the latest male relative to die prematurely and Ryan wanted to avoid a similar fate.
Today, the 42-year-old Wisconsin congressman boasts of body fat between just 6 and 8 percent. He shuns sweets ? even on his birthday. He holds early-morning workouts for colleagues in the House gym, favoring a high-intensity routine called P90X, the creation of Westerly native Tony Horton.
He?s also determined to stick to his routine now that life is a little more hectic as Mitt Romney?s No. 2 on the GOP presidential ticket.
It?s now almost a given for high-profile politicians to be committed to physical fitness, given the nation?s obesity epidemic. George W. Bush, for instance, became an avid mountain biker after injuries forced him to give up running.
