Oh Mico Putumayo, she's gonna beat the living bejesus out of you!
WASHINGTON (Feb. 28) - Obsessive about staying fit, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will share her workout tips on morning television this week, pumping iron and sweating on a stationary bike.
The top U.S. diplomat was filmed last weekend at the State Department's gymnasium by a local affiliate of television network NBC. It will be aired on the NBC4 Today program on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the network said.
Asked whether the exercise segment Rice shares with NBC anchor Barbara Harrison signaled more muscular diplomacy, State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli replied tongue-in-cheek: "Muscular and agile."
Rice has a punishing travel schedule but usually rises long before dawn to do 45 minutes to an hour of exercise each day, no matter where she is.
Harrison said she invited Rice on her program to show Americans that if one of the world's busiest women could find the time to exercise, then so could they.
"She works out very hard, she is very strong and has a lot of endurance, perhaps more than one would expect with such a tiny frame," Harrison told Reuters.
