President Donald Trump signed an executive order that will expand on his council on sports, fitness and nutrition, including by reviving the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools. CNN’s Harry Enten decided to take the test and see how he’d fare against a median 6-year-old.

The presidential fitness test, a program that evaluates the physical fitness of school-aged children, is being reinstated in the United States. The test, which was a staple in schools for decades, measures abilities in running, flexibility, strength, and agility through a series of exercises.

A demonstration of the test's challenges included running a quarter mile, performing curl-ups and push-ups, and completing a shuttle run. The test aims to encourage physical activity among children and set benchmarks for fitness. The program's revival is attributed to an initiative by President Trump.

Trump revives Presidential Fitness Test for kids

All right apparently we're bringing back the presidential fitness test so I've decided can I actually beat the median sixth grader from all the way back in 1985. So this is the first time that I've been in a gym since about 1985. I have to run a quarter of a mile and get this about two minutes and 11 seconds I think it is or two one. Someone time me. I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make it. I did it. Now how do I shut this thing off? I'm a mean mean running machine. So now I'm in the B sit and reach part. This is supposedly testing flexibility. This looks basically impossible but we have the tape measure there and apparently in order to get to the 50th percentile for a six-year-old I got to reach to the 16 mark. So next up is some curl ups. I got to do 22 of these. 22 in a minute. I'm not quite sure I'm gonna be able to do it as I can barely get this yoga mat out. One. 21. 22. I did it. I did it. Look at this. I had a full minute and I did it in a little bit under 51 seconds. Booyah baby. So now comes the part I dread most which is I have to do seven push-ups. My arms are not exactly my strength despite all my wonderful working out that I've been putting in. All those seconds in the gym up till now. We're gonna go down for one and then two. Oh my god. It's a miracle. I did it. So it's all come down to this. For those of you who don't know what the shuttle run is. Two markings 30 feet apart. I got to go down pick up one of the blocks as being a Diet Coke. Bring it back. Place it down. Then go back. Pick the other one up and run through the finish line. I did it in 12.59 seconds. I beat it by just less than a second but you know what? Close to failing is not failing. It's a pass. Alright so I managed to get four out of five on the presidential fitness test. President Trump I say bring on the presidential fitness test because you ain't got nothing on me. Cheers.
