FIRST ON FOX<\/strong> \u2013 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s super PAC on Tuesday will begin promoting a new workout challenge for potential voters, as questions about former President Trump and President Biden\u2019s physical and mental fitness have emerged center stage in the 2024 election contest.<\/p>\n

Championing Kennedy\u2019s group of supporters at Gold\u2019s Gym in Venice, California, where he sometimes works out, American Values 2024,\u00a0the pro-Kennedy super PAC,\u00a0is unveiling the AmericaMoves challenge on Tuesday, encouraging participants to get up and get active for at least 24 minutes of movement a day to kick-start healthier habits for 2024.<\/p>\n

With the help of\u00a0influencers like\u00a0Devon Levesque,\u00a0the first human to bear crawl a marathon, and\u00a0famed physician and author\u00a0Dr. Mark Hyman, AmericaMoves \u2018has set out to ignite a wellness revolution,\u2019 American Values 2024 said in a statement to Fox News Digital, adding that the challenge is inspired by RFK Jr.\u2019s own physical regimen.<\/p>\n

It comes at a time when Democrat commentators and GOP presidential rival Nikki Haley jumped at the opportunity to criticize the 77-year-old Trump\u2019s mental fitness when he used Haley\u2019s name instead of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s at a New Hampshire rally last week when repeating allegations Pelosi was in charge of security and turned down 10,000 National Guard troops ahead of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump hit back at another rally that he feels, \u2018my mind is stronger now than it was 25 years ago\u2019 \u2013 the exact age gap between him and Haley \u2013 and went on to call into question Biden\u2019s mental, as well as physical fitness, noting how the 80-year-old president has shorter public appearances and has shown difficulty finding out how to get off stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Biden has long-faced criticism for repeated public gaffes, as well as concerns over public falls and trips he has made at speaking events and while boarding Air Force One. Biden\u2019s campaign officials claim the 2024 race \u2018is not going to be about age,\u2019 which Trump even echoed, arguing it depends on the person. \u2018It\u2019s not age. Different people, different strokes,\u2019 Trump said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

RFK Jr., who turned 70 on Jan. 17, went viral over the summer in a shirtless video shared on X showing him banging out nearly 10 push-ups.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Getting in shape for my debates with President Biden!\u2019 he captioned the video, which garnered millions of views in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fitness influencers and conservative activists championed Kennedy for his physical abilities \u2013 and muscular, tan physique \u2013 after another video of his bench-pressing skills went viral. Some praised the videos as an inspiration for men especially, while others juxtaposed the display against Biden\u2019s repeated gaffes and public falls and stumbles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The AmericaMoves challenge goes live at\u00a09:30 a.m. ET Tuesday at\u00a0https:\/\/www.americamovesav24.com\/ and will be promoted by fitness influences for the next two months, the super PAC says.<\/p>\n

Kennedy\u2019s team is providing a series of activities based on varying fitness levels to encourage Americans to get active, but says the 24 minutes of movement a day can be anything from walking to running to weightlifting to bear crawling to swimming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

RFK Version<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leg Press\u00a0\u2013 5 sets, 15 reps (Set #1 starting with 1 plate on each side; adding 1 plate each side for every consecutive set \u2013 ending the last set with 5 plates on each side)Pull-ups\u00a0\u2013 5 sets (First 4 sets are 10 reps; the 5th\u00a0set will be to failure)Bicep Curls\u00a0\u2013 5 sets, as many reps as possible in 1 minute<\/p>\n

The challenge is inspired by Kennedy\u2019s own workouts and the fitness enthusiasts who are invigorated by him, according to the super PAC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Appearing to take a page out of RFK Jr.\u2019s playbook, Vivek Ramaswamy, who suspended his presidential campaign after Trump swept the Iowa caucuses, throwing support behind the longtime GOP frontrunner, notably also went viral for videos working out with his wife in the gym ahead of the first GOP presidential debate in August. Ramaswamy, at age 38, has stressed on the campaign trail that America needs a \u2018new generational leader\u2019 and is being floated among a long list of Trump\u2019s potential running mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A nephew of President Kennedy and son of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, RFK Jr. announced in October that he was ending his Democratic presidential bid and instead launching an independent run. The best-selling author and environmentalist has become a vocal critic of tech and government censorship after initially launching a bid to challenge Biden for the Democratic nomination in Boston last April and has criticized Biden for denying him Secret Service protection afforded to other presidential candidates on the campaign trail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
