The “Magic Mike” star led exercises like push-ups, squats, sit-ups and jump rope as a member of P&G’s GIVE Education team. The group, along with McConaughey’s “just keep livin’” foundation, aims to start discussion about dropout rates and raise money for Communities in Schools (CIS) through a P&G rebate program.
