Donald Trump, The Apprentice And Physical Fitness

The importance of exercises and staying fit was demonstrated in the seasons of Trump's Apprentice. If you watched the Apprentice you would have seen Kwame and Troy regularly keeping fit with exercises in the first season. This was deliberately scripted to convey to viewers the importance of regular exercises for a healthy life of both physical and mental alertness.

The impression is that Donald Trump believes that it is inconceivable that you would be good enough for him as an Apprentice if you are not both physically and mentally fit. Therefore Apprentice candidates were expected to be physically fit, which was why they were shot in the first three seasons as people who are aware of the need for regular physical exercises.

Several of the Apprentice candidates were shown regularly engaging in different types of workouts…using weights, doing different types of calisthenics like press ups and pull ups, using tread mills and several other workout methods.


Watching the Apprentice male team members have a go at basket ball was very interesting, especially the interesting scene where Kelly, the Season two winner inadvertently put a whole through the wall as he played his game.

The general picture here is that the physical fitness impression created with the first three seasons of Donald Trump's Apprentice seeks to convey to both the candidates and viewers the importance of physical and mental alertness.

If you consider the first three seasons of the Apprentice very well you will see that the impression created is that no matter your position in life, whether you are an executive like Donald Trump or any of the Apprentice candidates, you must not allow your lifestyle become sedentary by sitting long hours in meetings, being transported for every movement. You are supposed to be active for at least 75% of a day, so find the means for exercising your body regularly for both physical and mental alertness.

The truth is that not being physically fit predisposes you to lower mental alertness. But you can use water aerobics and other types of aerobics like running, jogging; even matching to an audio band in your office can get you active and physically fit with the accompanying mental alertness. Conversely, if you neglect exercises you most probably will be predisposed to being overweight and could suffer anything from heart problems to diabetes and high blood pressure.
