A Smart BMI calculator said I should gain a few pounds--I'm 5' 2" with a weight of 110 pounds for a BMI of 20.
Its a tough job, after all.

Absolutely! I'm extremely active, and engage in some pretty grueling outdoor activities. My body fat is low, and I'm probably much fitter at 54 than most people half my age.

I have a healthy BMI of 22.
I have a resting heart rate below 50.
I am regular half-marathon runner.
I don't smoke, drink alcohol or do any drugs.
I have an extremely healthy diet.
I have a very strong immune system.

... come to think of it... damn I'm boring... :tired: ... I'll never even make it to the primaries...

And unlike the current POTUS, I am *actually* born outside the US...

Yes, and I'd be maybe the 3rd or 4th president on the Spectrum! :jester:

However, I very much bat from the left side of the plate politically, and in all honesty, too much out of step with the majority of my fellow citizens.

Physically, I am much fitter than Trump or Clinton, but probably not as fit as Johnson.

Mentally, there's no way I could deal with talking to people all day every day. So there's that.

No, because I'd probably have a seizure on my first day as POTUS! :lol:
