“Fitness experts caution against jumping into a difficult routine suggested by Robert F Kennedy Jr and Pete Hegseth.”
The New York Times warned readers against exercising too hard after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr challenged Americans to try to do 100 push-ups and 50 pull-ups in 10 minutes. This breaks down to around 10 push-ups and 5 pull-ups a minute
The article cites “expert” opinions on the matter, saying, “Fitness experts caution against jumping into a difficult routine suggested by Robert F Kennedy Jr and Pete Hegseth.”
The pair dubbed it the “Pete and Bobby Challenge,” and videos of the routine were widely shared on social media. The article from the corporate news outlet was mocked online, with many pointing out that the Times was suggesting that pushing yourself during exercise is not a good thing—though the outlet advocated for just that 2014.
In an article published in 2014, the Times said, “For Fitness, Push Yourself,” indicating that one needs to reach for their limits when working out to make more progres. The report reviewed a study that concluded, “Intense exercise changes the body and muscles at a molecular level in ways that milder physical activity doesn’t match.”
The coverage of Pete and Bobby’s workout challenge was in stark contrast to the Times’ coverage of Michelle Obama’s workout routine after former President Obama “issued a good-natured challenge to his wife last week as part of her ‘#GimmeFive’ campaign on healthy living,” the outlet published in 2015.
The former first lady’s workout routine that she posted a the time consisted of jump rope, medicine ball crunches, jump squats, boxing, and dumbell incline press. Her First Lady initiative was around fitness and health.
