Medicare Administrator Mehmet Oz Posts Video Demonstrating Squat Technique

Mehmet Oz posted a video on social media Saturday demonstrating squat technique and offering fitness advice. Oz, who serves as Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator, is 66 years old. In the video, filmed in what appeared to be his backyard with a white picket fence visible, Oz said, “Super simple: it’s called a squat.

Oz momentarily appeared to lose his balance while rising from one squat before recovering and continuing. Oz also advised regular brisk walking to strengthen the heart muscle and keep arteries flexible. He demonstrated the point by slapping the side of a children’s slide.

He then performed pull-ups on a monkey bar without difficulty. The Independent reported that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has posted similar workout videos. In one, Kennedy performed pull-ups and push-ups in blue jeans alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

In December 2025, Kennedy and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy filmed a pull-up competition at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Virginia, where Kennedy completed approximately 20 pull-ups to Duffy’s 10. Kennedy has also shared earlier footage of himself leaping from a helicopter with Navy SEALs and working out shirtless with Kid Rock before entering cold water in jeans and later bathing in a hot tub while drinking whole milk.
