I have a routine for a day I'm in the office and not really physically active. Or a day when I'm in the gym once or in the gym twice. Then I've got a road course routine and an oval routine because they're different physically.

I've worked for four presidents and watched two others up close, and I know that there's no such thing as a routine day in the Oval Office.

Caricatures created by politics never fit comfortably into the Oval Office.

Whenever I am not traveling during the winter, I am pushing hard in the gym. Even when I am traveling, I try to fit a workout in at the hotel. And if the hotel doesn't have a gym? You can get a good workout in your room with an exercise band and some imagination.

As the son of a racing car designer and mechanical engineer, I was exposed to motorsports from day one.

I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office."
