To hear some politicians like Hazel Blears talk about families you'd think there was still fathers and mothers and their children sitting down for Sunday lunch together with the children being told to keep their elbows off the table and not to interrupt when a grown-up was speaking.
But like many politicians nowadays, especially those jogging American presidents, Blair is especially concerned not only to be fit but to be seen to be fit.
Hence his bizarre habit always of appearing in his shirt, tie and sleeves, even on cold winter days - a ploy that was recently exposed as a sham when a clever photographer revealed that underneath his shirt Blair was wearing a thick woolly vest.
