Sweatin' With El Comandante

Venezuela's boisterous leader, Hugh Chaves has returned to Caracas after his health scare and subsequent chemotherapy treatments in Cuba and is gearing up for his re-election bid. We have seen plenty of news spots of Presidents jogging through DC to show of their great effort to stay fit, while also stopping off at the Burger King on occasion for some less health conscious eats. However, El Presidente Chavez has taken it to the next level with is own short guided workout sessions for the press. 

Clearly he wants to show he is in tip top shape and that the cancer that has afflicted him will not keep him down in his goals for leading Venezuela  beyond his 12 year reign as El Comandante. CNN has noted that he is working out at one of the military academies to continue his healthy recovery.

We are not quite sure what his artistic painting skills have to do with spreading the news of the importance of nutrition, but the video moves on to his health lessons concerning the ills of cholesterol and the need for people to combat these bad food habits with healthy foods. He also discusses projects in the works to help make for a healthier Venezuela.

We are sure this must go hand in hand with his great exercise routine. I just hope this also includes golf outings with Kim Jung Il where holes in one are a plentiful. It is great to see President Chavez on his feet again and hopefully he follows through with his own nutrition plan to regain his spry military shape of yesteryear.
