"Here was Robert F. Kennedy Jr. eating steak and doing preacher curls in his belted blue jeans and a pair of hiking shoes; and here he was again, stripping off his T-shirt to ride an exercise bike inside a sauna; and here he was a little later, strutting over to a cold-plunge tub (still in his blue jeans but with the belt removed); and here there he went into the tub, sliding underwater in his dungarees."
"Why was the HHS secretary bathing in a pair of pants? The video never provides an answer for this question, even as Kennedy plays pickleball, then mugs for the camera, then soaks in a Jacuzzi with a glass of milk, all while still in jeans. It's just bizarre-a PSA that presumably has been dialed in by his staff to maximize its WTF effect."
"Kennedy's proclivity for working out in belted denim long predates the knowing wink with which it's now displayed. Take the summer's "DOD-HHS Fitness Challenge," for which Kennedy donned his favorite workout gear and did a bunch of pull-ups with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Or the viral clip of him from 2023, wearing jeans and boots and nothing else, squeezing out a final set on Venice Beach. I don't believe that these show a man who lifts in jeans to maximize his clicks."
A 90-second HHS video titled "Secretary Kennedy and Kid Rock's Rock Out Work Out" shows Robert F. Kennedy Jr. engaging in meals, workouts, sauna, cold-plunge, pickleball, and Jacuzzi scenes while wearing jeans. Scenes include eating steak, doing preacher curls, removing a T-shirt to ride an exercise bike in a sauna, and sliding underwater in a cold-plunge tub still in denim. The clip has drawn millions of views and thousands of replies. HHS did not respond to requests for comment. Kennedy has a pattern of exercising publicly in jeans across previous viral clips and fitness events.
