The "Presidential Fitness Test" has a long history. Started in the 60's, radically changed under President Obama, and now returning under President Trump, it serves as an excellent example of good intentions with not-so-great results. Will its return help solve the childhood obesity crisis? We dig into the good, the bad, the awkward, and everything in between.

Plus, “What’s in the Bottle,” you ask? Our new Whey Protein Essentials! Whey Protein is an excellent nutritional supplement for individuals looking for a pure protein source made from grass-fed and rBGH-free cows to complement an active and healthy lifestyle. The formula is a rich source of BCAAs, bioactive peptides, antioxidants, and immunoglobulins with a host of health benefits.
