WASHINGTON — Representative Aaron Schock of Illinois, who already had the distinction of being the youngest member of the House, has a new feather in his cap (or maybe, his gym bag): he is the first member of Congress to appear shirtless on the cover of Men’s Health magazine.
June issue of Men’s Health
Mr. Schock and his abs appear on the cover of the June issue of the magazine, which hits the stands May 24. The congressman, a Republican who starts his days on Capitol Hill working out and running before digging into his legislative business, was chosen by the magazine to inspire Americans to get a jump-start on their summer fitness routine.
“As the fittest congressman, who better than Aaron to help promote a healthy lifestyle,” said David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men’s Health, in a prepared statement. “He is deeply committed to health and fitness and is the perfect spokesperson to help motivate people to change their eating habits and their attitudes towards weight and health – and not just for the summer, but for life.”
Mr. Schock, 29, however, is not the first politician to grace the cover of the magazine. That was President Obama, who appeared in November 2008 (as president-elect) and again in October 2009. The president, however, was fully clothed.
