Make your body great again
The first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is expected to set television records, and could be the most-watched political event in history. But, a lot of people couldn’t care less about this election, much less the debate. Chances are you’re one of them.
If you are one of the many college students who hate both candidates and don’t give a shit about the debate, there is still a way to watch it and have fun. Throw on some gym shorts, and improve your physique with the 2016 Presidential Debate workout.
Twenty push-ups every time Trump says the word ‘immigration’
The Donald has been ranting about “criminals, drug dealers and rapists” all year, and it’d be surprising to see him suddenly change Monday night. So, every time the mogul gets riled up against illegal immigrants, you take the opportunity to get pumped yourself!
Fifty sit-ups every time Clinton laughs off a question
Hillary frequently dodges debate questions by laughing, giving her a few seconds to think and annoying every viewer. Instead of rolling your eyes, join the Democratic nominee by doing an ab workout of your own!
One-minute plank every time a candidate is asked a question about the military
