RFK Jr. says he finds it ‘convenient’ to wear jeans to the gym

RFK Jr. finally reveals why he wears jeans to the gym
  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explained on Fox News that he works out in jeans for convenience, as he would go hiking before the gym and found it practical.
  • Kennedy recently participated in the “Pete and Bobby Challenge” with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, completing 50 pull-ups and 100 push-ups in under six minutes while wearing jeans.
  • The challenge aims to encourage American youth to be fit, aligning with Kennedy's “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda, which promotes public health, reducing artificial food additives, and re-evaluating health choices for children.
  • Kennedy's MAHA movement, which echoes President Donald Trump's “Make America Great Again” slogan, focuses on health issues, including a reassessment of childhood vaccines.
