Dark horse entry: Herbert Hoover. Was a mining engineer in South America, first president that we know of to follow a programmed fitness regimen in the White House, and invented his own game, "Hoover Ball." LINK

So you’re saying that Paul Bryant didn’t actually fight a bear?

TBF anyone before the late 1800s would be considered very fit by today's standards just from living their ordinary life.

Well, except for the tobacco smoke, wooden teeth, and untreated syphilis.

Reagan rode horses.
Ford was a football player.
Carter is still alive.
Bush played baseball.
Andrew Jackson could kick all their asses.

Paul “Bear” Bryant. Former Maryland coach. Probably never heard of him.

Of you think things weren't exaggerated youre thebwillfully ignorant. They could put out nearly anything about what someone did in relative private. There were no movie cameras following hm around d constantly.
Again, find one story of someone refuting anything claimed about Roosevelt. The guy wasn't unanimously adored--there were people that genuinely hated the guy.
Hell, the guy was on a bear hunt in Mississippi and had Washington Post reporters and cartoonists with him. There wasn't much of his life that was private.

As a boy, Jackson blocked a British officer's sword with his bare hand, leaving him with a lifelong scar.

His forces once threatened to abandon him. He addressed them, told them if they left he'd kill every last one of them.
They stayed.
You didn't mess with Jackson.

did not cure his asthma through exercise.
—I said he claimed that. But you cannot refute the historical evidence that as a child he was a weakling with asthma, and that as an adult he was a beast.

There's no doubt that a great deal of what you think you know about Teddy came from his lifelong self-mythologizing.

They found multiple references to asthma attacks when Roosevelt was an adult, such as after his first wife died and during a pillow fight with his children in the White House. Once, when his second wife was in labor, he took a train to get there, and his daughter remarked, “Both the engine and my father arrived in Oyster Bay wheezing.
