Adrian Fenty Rated One of World’s 25 Fittest Men
A couple weeks old, but new to LL: Men's Fitness, noted authority on men's fitness, has included Mayor Adrian M. Fenty in its yearly tally of high-profile specimens of masculinity.
Here's what the mag has to say about Hizzoner, he of the early-morning interval runs and mid-day bike rides around Hains Point:
"I'm training as much as humanly possible," says the leader of the nation's capital. Fenty exercises like a pro athlete—rigorously and regimented—despite having a crazy schedule. "The chance of getting a workout once a day has gone down dramatically," he says. Three times every week, he gets in a long early-morning run and also swims and cycles when he can. Fenty has prioritized public health as well, renovating several city playing fields and starting a youth triathlon camp. He's built it, now he's hoping citizens will come. "I think people have been really responsive," he says.
On the list, Fenty (aka "The Mayor") joins the likes of Hugh Jackman (aka "The Blockbuster"), Clive Owen ("The Leading Man"), Larry Fitzgerald ("The Freak"), Usain Bolt ("The Lightning"), Tim Tebow ("The Champion"), LeBron James ("The One"), and...uh, Richard Branson ("The Fly Guy").
But beware, Mr. Mayor---there may be a Men's Fitness curse at play here: Named fittest of them all was none other than top-ranked tennis Rafael Nadal, who hasn't done so well of late.

so, fenty is the same as a professional athlete? please. start winning something and then come back and talk to me. there is no way someone who is not a professional athlete should be on this list. that's insane.

I agree. I'm sure there are more fit professional athletes.

Well for someone who the DC citizens pay to do nothing all day but train.... he should be THE fittest. "Crazy schedule"??? There is no schedule! Why do you think he resorted to have a blank Public schedule everyday? He's hiding the fact that he does NOTHING but play all day. But even then... he can't throw a tantrum and order his competition not to pass him on the mall... ergo... participant of all, winner of nothing! lolol.
25 fittest? Whatever. How much did he pay you all or more appopriately.... WHAT did he give you all to get you to add him to the list? A bio? An application? How does one get on this list? Certainly not by breaking records or winning anything.

Big deal! You can be physically fit and bipolar or ADD. His six pack does not interest us. His brain waves are what we question.
