Trump’s nixing Michelle Obama’s student health program and restarting Presidential Fitness Test at US schools

President Trump formally nixed former first lady Michelle Obama’s student health program and reinstated the Presidential Fitness Test to schools across the country Tuesday as part of his “Make America Healthy Again” movement.

Surrounded by school children, champion golfers and cabinet secretaries, Trump announced the new Presidential Fitness Test Award, which he called “a certificate in recognition of achievement of the gold standard of physical fitness.”

“I work out so hard on a personal basis. I work out so much – like about one minute a day, max, if I’m lucky,” Trump joked to laughter in the Oval Office.

The original Presidential Physical Fitness Test was scrapped in 2013 and replaced with the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, part of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative, which focused more on overall health than personal athletic achievement and performance based standards. Read more, see photos and video here.
