BOB CARR GIVES SUNRISE DAVID KOCH A PILATES LESSON

Here's something you probably never knew about former foreign minister Bob Carr - he's nuts for Pilates! Whilst appearing on Sunrise just a few days ago to promote his new book 'Diary of a Foreign Minister', co-host David Koch (Kochie) and Samantha Armytage asked Carr to perform his favourite Pilates exercise; a one-legged Romanian deadlift. Carr was only too happy to demonstrate and teach the exercise to the co-hosts and describes himself as a 'fitness nut' in his upcoming book.

The 66-year old performed the exercise with relative ease and them asked Kochie to have a go and talked him through it, giving him tips and reminding him to tighten his core. Bob was quick to point out that he always performs this exercise with two five-kilogram weights in his hands and that it is much harder with this equipment. 

Carr's new book definitely sounds intriguing, as he describes himself as having 'the energy of 16 gladiators'.  Bob reveals in his book that he eats steel-cut organic coats with berries and two poached eggs every morning and is very focused on healthy eating and exercise. He writes that his ambition is to 'have a concave abdomen defined by deep-cut obliques'. 

Carr was also happy to admit to Kochie & Armytage that he does not take offence to being called a 'snob', a 'diva' and a 'tosser' throughout his 18 months as Australia's foreign minister in 2012-2013.  In his book Carr does complain about the faults of business class travel in detail, however Bob informs that the aim of adding these references to the book was to describe how foreign policy was made and 'how you live a life of politics on the run'. Bob ends this negative conversation on a positive note, saying that 'if the joking references I made, a bit of self parody along the way, get people to read the book, then I'm happy with that'. Definitely sounds like an interesting read!!
