Trump Aims To Reestablish Presidential Fitness Tests

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test for American schoolchildren. The program was created in 1966 and had children run and perform situps, pullups or pushups and a sit-and-reach test. It changed in 2012 to focus more on individual health than athletic feats. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says Trump wants to promote healthy active lifestyles for future generations. Trump plans to sign an order later Thursday reestablishing the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. He’ll be joined at the White House event by a number of prominent athletes, including some who’ve faced controversy such as Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, and retired New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor.
