Republican candidate Donald Trump has said he stays healthy on the presidential campaign trail with his animated performances at rallies describing them as a form of exercise.
The New York businessman told celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz on his television programme, The Dr Oz Show, that his physical motions during rallies in hot rooms kept him in good health.
It is a lot of work, you know, he said. When I speak in front of 15,000 people and Im up there using a lot of motion, I guess in its own way its a pretty healthy act.
And I really enjoy doing it. A lot of times these rooms are very hot, like saunas, and I guess thats a form of exercise.
Under pressure to release medical records to show whether he is fit to serve as US president, the Republican nominee underwent a televised health check answering a series of questions from Dr Oz during the programme broadcast yesterday.
Mr Trump (70) admitted during the interview that he did not exercise, that he wants to lose between 15 and 20 pounds, and that has been on cholesterol medication for several years.
His appearance comes nine months after his long-time doctor Dr Harold Bornstein gave Mr Trump a clean bill of health, claiming that the reality TV star would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. The New York doctor later admitted that he wrote the letter in five minutes while the candidate had a limousine waiting outside his Manhattan office.
Before the show, Mr Trumps campaign released the latest letter from Dr Bornstein in which he said that the Republican candidate, who would be the oldest US president elected if he won the November 8th election, was in excellent physical health.(continued)

He’s right! Trump is walking a lot to all of the events and standing for long periods of time - and, yes, using lots of arm movements! His energy is amazing.
Its really no joke. It might sound silly, but one time when I was a little bored hearing the same stuff over and over from his stump speech, I tried to mirror his arm and hand movements. Honesty, my arms were tired in less than 5 minutes and he went on for an hour of continual gesturing.
Seriously the man gestures A LOT:
