"JFK Physical Fitness Statement"

[@theswampfox9584]

I won Presidents Physical Fitness Awards as a kid- great message from President Kennedy RIP

[@c.a.g.3130]

Did the same. As a result, still ideal weight 70 years later.

[@2ndexodusmove]

I did too 4th and 5th grade.

[@cortneyoverstreet8130]

Me too!

[@zackthomas1031]

Wow, the president used to be a respectable honorable position held in regard and taken seriously. I've never seen a president make a speech this meaningful in my lifetime, and it's such a basic essential issue. Amazing.

[@TheLeanBerets]

Totally agree. They are not as smart as JFK.

[@Natural-Health.]

Which is why they took him out, he wanted to change things! This is roughly when the pharmaceutical started, how are they going to profit if everybody's healthy?

[@Yazdonsmom]

life seems so complicated compared to back then, but we still need outdoor physical exercise.

[@TheLeanBerets]

Agree.

[@ErtixPoke]

Americans and western people as whole still do it so I don't understand what you mean. Maybe they're too many focus on sport?

[@llydwll]

so true. what would jfk think of us today?

[@shoreline4287]

He would cry

[@TheLeanBerets]

Disappointment and the historical realization that we would not make it unless we changed.

[@voxtemporis4503]

Who cares what he thinks.

[@bignestgettingbig6348]

You saw what he thought at one point.

[@clydenolet736]

he'd be proud of me. like he said 'the best of America '

RIP ❤️

I think people that constantly scream fat phobic claims have silenced others that genuinely want to help those struggling with obesity. Blows my mind that over the last 8 years that even doctors have to watch what they say in fear of hurting an obese person's feelings. As if they know more than a doctor when it comes to health. I was 250 lbs 2-3 years ago and now I'm 200. I promise you all I feel so much better now that I'm healthier

[@TheLeanBerets]

Thanks for the honest feedback. Obesity does not help our country get stronger. That is the blunt reality.

[@larryaldama1673]

Thanks President

I hate this video. P.E. ruined my life.

Back then you had more lions among the wolves of our government. Today not many lions, and almost all wolves with parasites. A time of homogeneity when the life of our nation's youth was valued, in contrast with the modern day exploitation of our children and youth. We could either sit and mourn what once was, accepting defeat, or we could actively restore our faith starting with the younger generations.

[@TheLeanBerets]

Excellent comments.

[@WilmerBlom]

Can you upload video's of how to progress? Like in dips, push ups, pull ups and all the exercises that stimulate the mature muscles in strength and endurance. I'd love to see about that concept.

[@TheLeanBerets]

It’s quite complex actually. I do my best to teach these classical methods in person and to share what I can by a few videos and posts. -RJ

[@clydenolet736]

yes.

[@dieselmccheese8320]

"Grease the Groove" is what I do, seems to help. Consistency is key, as cliche as it sounds.

[@michaelkulman7095]

Besides this channel and their website there are a lot of callisthenics channels on you tube, street workout channels, prisoner workouts, famously, Convict Conditioning a book many like. They took the weights out of prisons you see..., also we people using the term bodyweight. Try Andrew Alinda, Fitness FAQ, Calimove, Callisthenics Movement, The Red Delta Project, Thenx, Barstarzz, Bar-barians, Bartendaz, the last three are street workout style. Once you find some of them the algorithm will find you and start to suggest some on KZbin ...Sure, this channel has content too and look for that. Different people have different takes on it. As for a book, Complete Callisthenics by Ashley Kalym I like. Good luck!

Just did 40 standing back flips on my 40th birthday, in under 17min. Furthermore, I challenge any person to a game of physical fitness HORSE. Skill for skill, challenge for challenge: if you can’t match the skill, you catch a letter. First to spell HORSE, loses. I not only challenge anyone alive today, but I’ll put my $10,000 up against your $10,000. Winner take all. Where you at CrossFit? 🦗 🦗 from the strongmen camp. Triathletes aren’t athletic. Gymnasts aren’t weight lifters MMA fighters are weak (no strength) Nobody I guess

[@ErtixPoke]

If we consider it as an enforcement of a state to try to make a soldiers out of people then this programme is really crazy. If America is a land of freedom, then no one should be forced to do this. I don't get your hypocrisy, dear Americans. But, if military as an institution wouldn't exsist in the world and wouldn't force males to kill themselves, then this programme is very good for international economy and globalist system to make males athletic. To achieve a global standards for this whole male race would have to be more collectivist. For example, this could help us in enforcement a love and play sports. Especially football (soccer in America) which is the most popular sport in the world. But what with people with disease like an epilepsy? Should they also be forced to do this?

[@TheLeanBerets]

The boys wanted to do the program and loved it. There is nothing wrong or evil with being physically fit and mentally stable-it’s a moral obligation that goes back to ancient Greece. There is also nothing wrong with formalized calisthenics that improves overall fitness, health, sport performance for those that desire sports, and yes even military and martial applications for those who want or need to be combative. As far as war itself, that is a topic beyond the scope of our documentary film. JFK actually kept of out of a WWIII-for the record.

[@capricioushorse]

No one was forced! It was a great encouraging and uplifting message and the vast majority of us were glad to participate. ( With great vigor!)
