President Donald Trump has officially scrapped former First Lady Michelle Obama’s student health program and brought back the decades-old Presidential Fitness Test in U.S. schools. The move is part of his ‘Make America Healthy Again’ push, which he announced on May 5, 2026, surrounded by school kids, pro athletes, and cabinet members in the Oval Office.
According to the NY Post, Trump called the revived test “a certificate in recognition of achievement of the gold standard of physical fitness,” and joked about his own workout routine – “like about one minute a day, max, if I’m lucky” – while signing the executive order that reinstates the program.
