“These are the cornerstones of my exercise, which emphasizes the power of lifelong work,” said Trump, who served as his father's top aide during his presidency.

“This ensures a safe and secure transition while maintaining the integrity of each organization,” he wrote. “I incorporate movement work into my sessions to improve range of motion.”
Trump has written that weightlifting has increased his strength and overall athleticism and stamina.
“I changed my focus to weightlifting and resistance training, and it made a difference.”
Nutrition has also been the key to his fitness.
“Also new to me, but important to my progress, has been increasing my protein intake,” Trump wrote in the post.

“Now I eat 30 to 50 grams of protein per meal. It works … I've never had more energy!”
When he's not at the gym, Trump said he does weekly yoga sessions and outdoor activities with his children, including surfing, swimming, hiking, walking and golf.

To improve his cardiovascular fitness, he also incorporates some short, high-intensity training sessions each week.
“This balanced approach has injected new energy into my fitness routine and yielded great results,” Trump wrote, adding that each person's routine is “very personal,” and that “what works is what you're going to do consistently.”

When Pagett trains women over 50, she focuses on low-weight, high-repetition compound movements, such as the TRX line, which uses only body weight for 15 reps.
He also mixes in heavy-weight, moderate-repetition compound movements, such as the barbell deadlift using 85 pounds for eight repetitions, for “the perfect sculpted look.”

“The most important factors in terms of exercise and nutrition are proper form to ensure target muscle performance and a high protein lifestyle,” says Pagett, who is a certified personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach.
