"Well, I just started doing that a long time ago because I would go hiking in the morning, and then I'd go straight to the gym, and I found it was convenient, and now I'm used to it, so I just do it," Kennedy said.
Watters seemed satisfied with the answer, as he responded, "There were a lot of theories, but that makes perfect sense."
Since he was appointed by President Donald Trump to head HHS, RFK Jr. has shared a number of videos for his Make America Healthy Again initiative, many of which show him exercising.
Earlier this month, he shared a video of himself and Dr. Mehmet Oz hiking and scaling a boulderat a park in Colorado, and earlier this week, he shared another of himself doing a fitness challengewith Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon.
In both instances, Kennedy was seen rocking jeans, which has sparked speculation and debates on social media.
Nonetheless, Watters was impressed with Kennedy's explanation, writing in an X post that "it's time to bring back 'BEEF JERKY TOUGHNESS' that America was built on."
