The president's medical profile shows a low to very low risk of coronary artery disease. His resting pulse rate dropped to 47 beats per minute from 52. Well-trained athletes typically have resting pulse rates of between 40 and 60 beats a minute.
Doctors made Bush run on a treadmill for more than 26 minutes as part of a test that evaluates the performance of his heart. His heart reached 183 beats per minute; no signs or symptoms of cardiovascular problems were noted. Other information from Bush's checkup included:
His body fat percentage fell to 15.79 from 18.25. It was 14.5 percent at his physical in August 2003.
His ability to see at a distance was 20/20 in both eyes.
A prostate screening test registered 0.5. Under 4 is good.
His exercise regimen includes mountain biking at up to 18 mph for 15 miles to 20 miles a week; doing low-impact "hill work" on a treadmill; and free weight resistance training and stretching.
He smokes a cigar occasionally, takes a daily multivitamin, a low-dose aspirin, omega-3 fatty acids linked to lower heart disease, and glucosamine/chondroitin to ease stiffness in his joints. posted 12:52am by jholmes

Today in
the Pyrenees mountains
there was a
battle royale as Lance
Armstrong did battle in
the Tour de France with
Jan Ullrich, Ivan Basso,
and Georg Totshnig.
Totshnig had a big gap
on the rest of the
contenders and the
peleton up until the
last 10km. Georg
Totshnig won stage 14
today. The win is
his first stage win
ever. Armstrong
finished second just 56
seconds behind Totshnig.
Armstrong's main
competitors were all
behind him in finishing.
Armstrong has an overall
lead of one minute and
41 seconds over Michael
Rasmussen in the overall
standings. Nick and Jessica Simpson looked all cozy at the ESPY awards earlier this week, but that did not keep Hollywood from whispering about the anonymous email sent out this week claiming that Simpson and 'Dukes of Hazzard' co-star Johnny Knoxville are going to go public with their affair and then divorce their spouses.
