Condi's workout reveals a fit diplomat
31 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she realizes few other people are willing to rise at 4:30 a.m. to get in a daily workout.

"That's my own particular strangeness," says the gym rat diplomat.

Actually, some days it's 4 a.m., and she considers 40 minutes on an elliptical exercise machine a "light cardio" day. She adds a tough regimen with weights on those wimpy days, under the tutelage of a hardbody trainer.

"Like everybody, I get up some mornings and think, 'I can't do it.' And then I think, 'Sure you can, because you won't feel as alert if you don't,'" Rice said in an interview with Fitness magazine.

1. I never thought I'd have something in common with Condi

You learn something new every day.

I suppose I'lll have to train even harder to be stronger than the GOP!

2. Soooo . . . what's she like when she's not as incredibly "alert" as her workout makes her?

Frightening to think about it.
