Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has revealed why he works out wearing jeans. <\/a><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, during an appearance on Fox News, host Jesse Watters asked Kennedy what he called \u201cthe question that everybody is wondering about.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do you wear jeans when you work out?\u201d asked Watters.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I just started doing that a long time ago because I would go hiking in the morning, and then I\u2019d go straight to the gym, and I found it was convenient, and now I\u2019m used to it, so I just do it,\u201d said Kennedy. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a lot of theories, <\/a>but that makes perfect sense,\u201d said Watters.<\/p>\n

Kennedy was questioned about his exercise habits after taking part in a workout challenge alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a video, published by the Department of Defense Monday, the pair took part in what they called the \u201cPete and Bobby Challenge,\u201d in which they had to complete 50 pull-ups and 100 push-ups in under 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about making America healthy again. We\u2019re gonna be fit, not fat,\u201d Hegseth said in the video. \u201cWe want recruits that are ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPete and I are going to do our part to encourage American youth to do this challenge,\u201d Kennedy added.<\/p>\n

While Hegseth wore shorts and t-shirt, Kennedy was in a t-shirt with a pair of jeans. The video shows them completing the pull-up and push-up challenge in under six minutes.<\/p>\n

Kennedy challenged Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to do the challenge next, while Hegseth called out the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff<\/a>, Dan Caine, as well as his former Fox News colleague Will Cain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope Americans will take this challenge and you\u2019ll pass it along so that we\u2019re ready to be fit the way we need to be healthy and to have a healthy fighting force,\u201d said Hegseth.<\/p>\n

\"Kennedy<\/p>\n

Kennedy took part in the fitness challenge as he pushes his \u201cMake America Healthy Again\u201d agenda, an echo of President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s \u201cMake America Great Again<\/a>\u201d slogan. It includes a focus on public health issues, with the MAHA movement emphasizing reducing artificial additives in food and beverages and reassessing health choices for children, such as vaccines.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, comedian John Oliver<\/a> dissected the MAHA movement on HBO<\/a>\u2019s Last Week Tonight<\/a>, noting that it\u2019s \u201cnot just Republicans<\/a>\u201d who have gotten caught up in the movement, with many parents looking to feed their children healthier foods.<\/p>\n

Experts agree with Kennedy\u2019s claim that American children are getting sicker, with a U.S. child being 15 to 20 percent more likely to experience a chronic condition in 2023 compared to 2011.<\/p>\n

However Oliver pointed out that even when Kennedy \u201cand his movement can be right about identifying a problem, their solutions can range from the superficial to the outright dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the leadership of Kennedy, HHS has begun defunding mRNA vaccine research, with one expert calling it \u201cthe most dangerous public health decision I have ever seen made by a government body.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
