Every year, Health Fitness Revolution recognizes politicians who choose to demonstrate healthy lifestyles for themselves, in addition to promoting physical activity within their communities. We recently published our new list of Top 40 Fittest U.S. Representatives 2020 as part of this effort to promote health and fitness in the U.S.
HFR founder and author of ReSYNC Your Life, Samir Becic intends to use this list to motivate the other United States Reps to be more active and fit in order to be the best ambassadors for their cities as possible. The wealth and prosperity of a nation are dependent on the health and physicality of its people. “Every politician in the United States who is physically fit and promotes a healthy lifestyle in order to improve the future of our nation has my vote, regardless of party. Furthermore, with the COVID-19 pandemic, fitness and a healthy lifestyle should be emphasized more than ever- a healthy body has a robust immune system. While the immune system may not protect you from contracting the virus, it will definitely help with the recovery. U.S. Representative Mike Simpson deserves recognition for being a great ambassador of a healthy lifestyle through example” Becic says.
Congratulations Congressman Mike Simpson on being one of the fittest congresspeople in America!
