WATCH: How many pull-ups can you do? Trump revives fitness test for school kids

The Trump administration has revived the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, a physical fitness test for school-aged children. The program, which was discontinued in 2012 during the Obama administration, includes exercises such as pull-ups, sit-ups, and a mile run. The goal of the revived program is to encourage physical activity and healthy habits among students. Supporters argue that the fitness test provides a valuable benchmark for students' physical fitness and can motivate them to improve their performance. However, critics have raised concerns about the potential negative impact of the test, particularly on students who may struggle with certain exercises. They argue that the program could lead to increased stress and body image issues, especially for those who perform poorly on the assessments. The decision to reinstate the fitness test is part of the Trump administration's broader focus on promoting physical activity and healthy lifestyles among young people. The program is expected to be implemented in schools across the country in the coming years.
