Highlights

  • Trump prioritizes diet over exercise, with walking and golf as main activities; views other exercise as "misguided."
  • Biden is more of an exercise enthusiast, enjoying cycling and various workouts in the White House.
  • Trump and Biden have exchanged jabs over their physical fitness and exercise habits in recent years.

The debate was yet another chapter in the long-standing feud between Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. The debate didn't help Biden, and some of the answers were downright confusing and ridiculous. Though this isn't anything new. Biden once told Stephen Colbert he'd fight Donald Trump...

If a fight were to take place, here's what the two are doing to keep in shape... It seems like the former and current President couldn't be any more different when it comes to their routines and mindsets about working out in general. We are going to reveal what Trump puts an emphasis on to stay in shape.

On the flip side, Biden's routine has the people worried, especially following his struggles at the debate. We are going to reveal Biden's exercise plans, and where he has been lacking over the years.

Donald Trump Is More Enthusiastic About Dieting, And Prefers To Walk As His Conditioning

Yes, Donald Trump has taken issue over Joe Biden's shirtless physique in the past. However, the former President does have a strange theory about exercising. In the past, Trump has revealed that he'd rather conserve his energy on other things. In addition, it was said that Trump viewed other forms of exercise aside from gold as "misguided."

“Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy,” writes Evan Osnos for the New Yorker.

  • As for Trump's actual workout routine during his time in The White House, the belief is that he put more of an emphasis on his diet. “He’s more enthusiastic about the diet part than the exercise part, but we’re going to do both,” White House physician Ronny Jackson revealed.
  • Trump said his primary source of cardio is walking, while he believes those that spend too much time in the gym develop problems further down the road.

“A lot of people go to the gym and they’ll work out for two hours and all,” Trump said. “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.”

What else has been said about Donald Trump and working out?

  • He gave up after college:
  • "After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn’t work out. When he learned that John O’Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, “You are going to die young because of this,"The Washington Post’s Mike Kranisch and Marc Fisher wrote.

Summary:

  • It is clear that working out hasn't been a priority for Trump. To sum up, he's careful about his eating habits, and walks more than anything else, along with golf. Don't expect Trump to be hitting a bicep curl or squat.

Despite His Health Issues At The Debate, Joe Biden Actively Trains And Loves To Cycling

Following the debate, Biden's health was a trending question among the people. Questions were asked like what his exercise routine is, especially given age concerns. It seems like Biden is much more of an enthusiast compared to Trump. During the pandemic, Biden grew an attachment to cycling.

The Hill revealed, "Biden had grown attached to the bike, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when The New York Times reported he and Jill Biden would “engage in regular morning negotiations” about who would get on the saddle first."

What else did Biden do in The White House to keep fit?

  • Weights.
  • Treadmill.
  • Pilates.
  • Spin Class.
  • Workouts five days a week.

As for his diet, once again, it differs from Trump. Although Trump is a little stricter with his diet, it was previously reported that Biden "eats like a child." Though again, this is just speculation and not confirmed.

Trump has been skeptical of Biden's exercise in the past, taking exception to a shirtles photo of the current President.

"He's got a consultant somewhere — this is the worst consultant in politics — that thinks he looks good in a bathing suit, right? He spends so much time at the beach. I mean, how do you do that?"

"And, you know, I have a much better body than him. But I'm not really sure that I want to expose it, with the sun glaring down and the sand, the surf, the wind you know. I mean, you know, it's not a pretty sight."

For those keeping score, the two former Presidents have gone after each other over their physiques and golf games in recent years...

Donald Trump's Self-Reported Weight Did Raise Eyebrows In The Past

Not only did Trump call himself the healthiest President of all-time, but others felt as though he was awfully generous when revealing his self-reported current weight.

In 2019, Trump was weight in at 243 lbs. However, a recent number suggests he's currently at 215. Given his height of 6'3, that makes Trump a comparable to an NFL player with such stats...

Trump called himself the healthiest President during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, “I said, doc, I want to tell you, I will be the healthiest president ever. And he said, hmmm. I think I agree. And I think he probably took my words and put them down.”

In terms of important markers for Trump, it is believed that the former President sees IQ numbers as the most important, more than anything else.
