If Trump could somehow tie Hulk Hogan's name to this would make the left set themselves on fire

Can we get that on PPV

Anyone know how or when this even went away? Smells like Obama.

1) I never heard of the Presidential Fitness test growing up. (Graduated HS in 2000)
2) make it like the military. Fitness test standards and height/weight requirements to move on to the next grade. (Kidding….sort of).

I graduated in 03 and we did it. I was always pumped to get the blue patch

Any teachers/coaches remember the fitness test? I'm not sure if I'm remembering the presidential fitness test or if it was some state mandated fitness test, but in the mid 2000s a fitness test was required.

There was no grade or incentive attached to the test so the kids would just do two sit-ups and call it a day. Especially in high school.

Someone had to compile all of that useless (because most kids did not try) data and fill out a giant report. This usually fell to someone in the athletic department. Needless to say they were not fans. I absolutely think that kids need to exercise more, but this won't change behaviors unless there is some sort of incentive or reward attached to the effort they put into the actual test. If the athletes were performing the test during their athletic period they would actually try. Otherwise, no one cared.

Remember this scene?

Isn't that McMahon's son-in-law up there standing next to Trump with the beard on the right side of that video I can't remember his wrestling name when he was a wrestler, but I think he's married to McMahon's daughter

I never did PE in HS. Paid to be a Q back then too.

I remember doing that in elementary school. I never passed the test.

I vaguely remember it from elementary school and it was not stressed in our school. My wife went to school in Alabama and she was always bragging about her Presidential Fitness awards. When I first saw the topic, I thought the were going to test fitness for the Presidential office. Maybe in addition to debates to test mental acuity, have basic fitness parameters made public.

When did they stop this? I think I know why they stopped this.

I'm pretty sure I did this in elementary school and got my patch. If I was able to do it, that means it wasn't that hard. Just get up off your ass and do something.

We did it in 3rd or 4th grade in the early 90s. I still have a pin and certificate signed by Bush 1 in storage somewhere

I'd like to see them pass the Presidential Financial Fitness Test where they have to cut spending to a level below revenues. Otherwise each member of the White House and Congress get a toe cut off. Same test every month until they have to start cutting fingers.

Oh that's right! I had forgotten you received a pin for those. I was something of a tomboy back then so passing that test was never a challenge for me. I hung out with my older brother and my Dad, a/k/a "The Big Kid" tossing a baseball, playing volleyball or badminton or a game we invented called Womp Ball. Dad had an old set of golf clubs but he never played golf anymore. So he would give us his woods to hit your standard 10 inch plastic ball one could buy anywhere.

Our house backed to a big utility easement so we would see who could hit the ball the farthest. Hitting that ball with the wood club, it made a "womp" sound.

My Dad always played with us. From water skiing at my grandfather's lake house, to tossing around a football, to riding mini bikes with us...through the woods...at night...with the headlight off. Yeah we did some stupid things. "Don't tell your mother," meant we were going to have some fun. My Dad was a hoot.

My certificate was signed by Ronald Reagan in the early 80s. And our PE teacher was a former college athlete. He wasn't fat, and very, very few of the kids at my school were. I can really only remember a fat Mexican kid who was as wide as he was tall and who barely spoke English

Who signed your cert hawg?

I was a Reagan kid, which I have conflicting feelings about him due to Nancy's just say no program.

I think it's great Trump is doing this. And make the reward worth it. Kids these days don't value a certificate when the championship tball team gets giant rings.

They should have an age adjusted one that all politicians have to pass as well. Which would actually be hilarious to watch.

I might watch politics if this were part of the debates. Back on topic, yes I remember it and have my old certificates somewhere.
